Not surprised. Though to give him credit: he was able to tolerate Skip Bayless for a lot longer than I ever expected him to.

Could see him going to do something more focused on the NFL.
As for Skip...well I guess tieing you and Stephen A. together might be a thing to try again other than that I got nothin sorry not so sorry Skip.

Not surprising. As scripted as these hot take shows can be, the tension with Skip and Shannon recently at certain points definitely felt real.
ESPN is definitely going to throw money at Sharpe now to do First Take, at least occasionally, while making him a prominent part of their NFL coverage.

Skip signed a new contract with Fox last year turning down an offer from ESPN to reunite with Stephen A Undisputed is Skip show so they will probably get a buffon in there

I wonder if they try to put Nick Wright on that show? The thought of those two on one show makes me hurl.

First you have Skip who is just so unlikable, I only occasionally watched Undisputed since I find Shannon entertaining sometimes. Then you have Wright who is almost always annoying, though I find him tolerable on First Things First since he seems to have some genuine chemistry with Wildes and Broussard that helps compensate for how grating I find him. Just the thought of those two on the same show gives me a headache and I imagine if it happened I'd be hurling right alongside you.

I want to see Perkins replace Sharpe so the two worst take artists will be contained within the same show that I can ignore.

Wright makes me like Skip.... that's just how much I can't stand him. I don't even watch these shows. I just see clips of Nick Wright and he makes me puke.

Nick Wright has 'know-it-all douche from high school' vibes, but Skip has some serious 'has more than a few bodies in his crawlspace' vibes.

I could see them doing Acho but then you have two hot take grifters. The design has always been to have someone at least a little human to counter Skip.

Didn't Cold Pizza start off as a "Today Show" about sports? I don't remember it starting about Hot Takes, it just ended up there after a couple (?) years and off the rails we went.

I don't remember it starting about Hot Takes, it just ended up there after a couple (?) years and off the rails we went. It took less than a year for Skip Bayless to show up there. His "1st and 10" segment where he argued with Woody Paige became a regular feature in 2004.
