First take

[L-TownCat]

Steven A Smith does not deserve to hold the names Steven and Smith.  He should denounce one or the other because there can be only one Steve Smith.

[SgtJoo]

It's funny because the Niners got fuging spanked last time they were in Seattle.

 

Doesn't lend much credibility to the statement that we're the only two teams that can beat them at home.

 

FWIW I think we're probably the best equipped in the NFC to handle the Hawks.

[KaseKlosed]

stephen a. smith....takes passion by the throat and presses hard on the gas in almost every conversation or debate...does more research than skip but they belong together for sure

[@bonafidebanter]

Yea I saw that.

Hate Smith and Bayless but I watch the show every morning. Why? SEXY ASS CARI CHAMPION and those LIPS!!!

 

 

I can't stand either one of them, but that Cari Champion makes me want to watch. Stephen A. and Skip are irritating. You can tell that they are journalists that love the camera. Both of them are so dramatic for no reason at all.

[top dawg]

Embrace debate.

[TrueBlackandBlue]

I like Stephen A's opinions a lot of the time, but his condescending style (especially facial expressions) is really off putting, even though I think its just a shtick.

[frash.exe]

I don't care if that goober Woody Paige starts singing our praises. The idea that this team is actually good needs to be disseminated.

[TrianglePanther]

I think First Take can be entertaining at times, though most of their show is just empty talk that's accessible to the general population. Ask those two to break down film and they would be clueless.

She uses those lips daily to slurp Kobe and the Lakers every chance she gets unfortunately...

SKIP BAYLESS GANG

[heelinfine]

I've seen a lot of talking heads agreeing that carolina would have the best chance of beating the Seahawks in Seattle, but the  the many analyst that are declaring the 'hawks unbeatable after the thrashing of N.O. last night 

bring up the fact that they have already beat the Saints, Niners  and panthers as an example, they fail to mention that although the Seattle did blown out the Saints and S.F. this season that Carolina stood toe to toe with the Seahawks and the only reason they escaped with the W was the D. Wills fumble going in for the game winning TD. 

 

Why is that?

[IamSoClutch]

never understood the steven A hate. he truly knows his stuff and rarely spews B.S

[FootballMaestro]

Mike Francesca just said the same thing. The only teams that can beat Seattle at home are the 49ers and Panthers.

Wow! Francesca said that?

 

He normally hates Cam and tries to give him or the Panthers as little talk or credence as possible, while he's  pitching the Colts, Andrew Luck for MVP and the hall of fame already. SMH/LOL

[Evengelion]

I think Stephen A. likes Cam but because of Skip he's afraid to express it. When I watch him debate Cam, if you look at his body language and eye movements you can tell he's being compelled not to come out and say "I love Cam and I don't care who knows it". I think there are many in the media who are just afraid to express their approval as it's not a popular idea. Kind of similar to how unpopular it is to express dislikes of Luck's game. I think the media is trying the great defense angle but in many games they realize that the offense is no slacks either. So, pretty much the media is scrambling to sell the panthers in a way that exclude Cam. Can't wait when Cam become a vet and understand the nuances of this business like Steve Smith then he can call out those assholes.
