First Take played decent role in ruining sports talk.  It’s trash.  

Stephen A recently compared himself to Dak when talking about his next contract.  Which sort of highlights the key issue there.  The mindset of sports talk now is the host is the draw….when it should be the talk/guest and their ability to make them/that noteworthy.   

half the time it’s evident dudes like Stephan A don’t even do basic research and know what is going on….its just about being loud and being a character 

Yeah I saw that Stephen A comparison to Dak. Dude is annoying he really thinks he's a athlete just because he's famous in sports television. That take was ridiculous and not surprising.

 

The days of X's and O's debate shows are long gone. Just look at the people ESPN are hiring they are people who already have a decent podcast following. It's why they hired Shannon it's why they hired McAfee, Kelce, and now Cam.

 

Hot takes are what sell in sports these days. Everyone wants to go viral and get clicks.

Never trust a man with a jawline as weak as Stephen Smith's or someone who insists on using an initial in their name.

Like others have already said, his addition will not make me watch that show/network.

His first and last names are as common as they come. I can see why he'd try to distinguish his name. 

That being said, I still agree with you!

Yeah Cam is younger than our current starting QB. That’s pretty crazy really. I hate how we shorted his career. He should still be our QB at 35 years old…

His career was never going to be long with how HE played.

I haven't watched First Take in several years I suggest you guys do the same

This is a popular take. He will be the first to tell you his worst hits and injuries happened IN the pocket.  Our lack of OL plus constantly asking Cam to play hero ball on 3rd and long shortened his career.
