    Good sports debate series to watch that's fun and informative and good god watch it for miss Molly!

    From time to time on some afternoons when I'm working out at the gym treadmill up above on the TV screen it's often tuned to ESPN's "First Take" and it's a program that's well worth the watch! It's style is that of a discussion and open topic of debates about issues and problems and people of the sports world and all sports are covered from many players and teams. And it's fun to watch the disagreement as usually the talk and debate ends in drama and with voices being raised. The talkers are Stephen A. Smith a former radio personality who knows the sports world and Skip Bayless a former sports writer and author and both are well educated on sports and issues it's a very informative show. And yes you know that there is some eye candy treat and that is in the form of the host the beauty and exotic sexy attractive Molly Qerim good god miss Molly! She's such a treat to look at I remember when she started on the NFL Network. Well anyway during the afternoon if your a sports fan check out this show.

    Come on ESPN!

    First Take is another show on ESPN about nothing. We see an entire weekend of excellent sports, but get no highlights on Monday, or Tuesday etc.... All these guys do is talk. They make up silly debates and just talk about it. They'll say, "Can the Warriors win while Curry is recovering from an ankle sprain?" Then for 6 minutes one person will say yes they can, and another person will say, no they cannot.

    It's just silly banter I'll also never understand why they are talking about basketball and trades etc.. during baseball season. It's a very biased show and whatever the topic is about is based on what Stephen A. Wants to talk about. Show some highlights!

    I don't care for it at all.

    It could be a decent show but two things literally turn me off and make me turn the show off. One is when Max Kellerman says "So and so is the best player in history, or this team is the greatest of all time." He says that a lot. Simply because they just won a game or two. Also when when Stephen A. goes on one of his screaming jive talking rants. There's no need for this and it just makes me cringe and change channels.

    doesn't seem realistic

    Not saying pro sports are not real like those conspiracy guys do. Because obviously, obviously like so obviously pro sports are real. These athletes are our childhood heroes. They wouldn't lie.

    Anyways 1st Take seems like they are forcing there to be beef or a problem. They seem like they nitpick stuff and add charisma and intellectual dialogue to make viewers interested in a worthless problem. I can't think of any because that's how minor the problems are.

    I use to respect the A Smith guy but nowadays for awhile he seems like a fire to the fuel. Takes meaningless things seriously.

    The other guy I forgot his name. He acts like he knows everything and his demeanour is so serious and silly at the same time.

    Overall, I'll listen to some stuff when it spams in my youtube feed, however I need to start skipping of the 1st Take.

    Verdict: Your take doesn't matter.

    No Michael Irvin!

    Get Michael Irvin off of the show and never have him back.

    Aside from not being able to understand what Irvin is saying, half of the time, Michael is a piece of garbage as a human being. Rap sheet.

    Michael Irvin should not have a job on any network, ever.
