They have essentially turned it into the View. I was over my mother's house doing some yardwork and had went in to get water. I hear these women shouting over each other, unable to make points due to interruptions by cohost, thus seeming incoherent, and in the end just coming off as next level annoying. It was the View. At some point ESPN execs looked at that format and were like you know what might work!

That dates back to my college days and their turn toward "idiots screaming the dumbest hot takes at each other" programming. ESPN was a helluva lot better when it was basically just live sports and a neverending cycle of SportsCenter. My dorm TV was pretty much on ESPN 24/7 back then and then came the hot take bullshit.

Cam needs to engage whoever Smitty hired years ago to help him with public speaking.  Smitty use to struggle to find the correct word and is public speaking has improved tremendously.  Cam seems to always struggle to find the correct word and this makes it tough to listen to.

Based on what I've seen from Smitty's commentary recently, this seems like the worst advice ever. Smitty is terrible on the mic these days. Listening to him ramble on and on about god knows what while Jake and the other guy desperately tried to pivot back to the actual game they were supposed to be calling was nothing short of painful.

All TV media is basically that now. Idiocracy is becoming more prophetic by the day.

Same. My tv stayed on ESPN ALL DAY LONG. Stuart Scott and Rich Eisen changed the game! Chris Berman was a one man gang especially with football and baseball! Now the announcers are a heck of a lot louder and prettier, but not nearly as entertaining. I just can't do it.

I sort of hate to see him jump onto the painfully bad and sinking First Take show.  People basically hate watch these show for bad takes at this point.    

Awful take. It’s not sinking. It’s ascending. There’s a reason Stephen A makes so much. Your views and thoughts are not the majority. Who gives a fug why they watch, they watch.

I dunno, IMO, I think Cam just needs the right yin to his yang.  Ive come to absolutely love watching him on his YT show 4th and 1 but IMO its because of Pegggyyyy!!  Seriously, You can tell him and Peggy got that chemistry that just meshes.

A bunch of back in my day old men in this thread. What industry do you all work in? Can’t be anything that requires consumer adaptability. But I guess look where I am. Shouting into the void. 

Jake Paul gets views!!!! Don’t say he is scam artist and bad for the sport!!!! Views!  Sweet views! 

Generally speaking no one likes Stephen A or Skip.  Clowns.  Clowns can get views.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
