    First Take is an amazingly bad show.

    They did a ROUND BY ROUND prediction of what punches would be thrown in the Mayweather fight.

    The producer of this trash show has to be a relative of one of the higher-ups in the ESPN family.

    seriously what is wrong with Dick Vitale? He is whatever the word used now for Retarded since we can't say Retarded anymore. right? i mean, really. I'm being serious here, I literally can't listen to Vitale.

    He's so "beloved" though, so revered. Its because he's retarded, isn't it? Like...the love people have for him is because he's announcing stuff despite the fact that he's retarded....right?

    Can't say there is too many people I can stand on ESPN. But I can tell you I hate Stephen A smith the most. He's so biased and kisses so many asses most being African American. He thinks every white Person in the world is racist and when he believes something he thinks hes right 100% of the time which in most cases he isn't.

    Bayless is the worst bar none! Pompous ass who takes ridiculous sides just to stir it up, at least I hope so. No one could actually believe the crap he says...

    no chance a white guy could get away with this

    he's on record multiple times defending someone who beats women repeatedly

    and has blamed women more than once for getting beaten

    racist and sexist

    Pardon the Interuption just as bad.

    Only reporter with any integrity there is Bob Ley, maybe Hannah Storm becuase of her dad.

    Tony K - unwatchable
    Berman - deep as a puddle - unwatchable
    Linday Czarniak - no talent alien looking
    Sarah Walch - unwatchable
    all of them pretty much unwatchable.

    I hang around the MLB channel, they do it right, no schtick, and they can be amusing too without schtick.
    Love Millar's show, love the pregame stuff, I learn something new when I watch MLB.

    I realized it was a waste of time and better things to do with it

    Is there anyone more obnoxious than Stephen A. Smith?

    NO - The sh!t he spews always has the aroma of desperation. The paradigm of 'hanger-on'. Pathetic.

    The word is "senile" - so sad that his handlers need the paychecks so they won't let him quit with any shred of dignity.

    I think he means that Boisterous Over The Top Obnoxiousness that, sadly, I'm feeling is actually trained to certain personalities in Broadcasting School. I'm afraid we'll be saddled with Steven A. Smith types from here on out. "Loud Talkers", Vexating souls.

    And, yeah, "senile" maybe now contributing to Vitale's deal and sad if yes...behind the scenes people are forcing him to go on but he has always had that annoying nasal foghorn yelling dumb stuff developmentally disabled "style".

    Wow!
    I just heard Schlling on ESPN talk about A-Rod and Josh Hamilton's shortcomings for 5 minutes.
    Wow!
    Curt Schilling is such a scumbag he makes thw two of them look like saints.
    OK, A-Rod lied, Josh relapsed again, Curt, look in the mirror you jackass, you scammed an entire state out of a shitload of money.

    p.s. was it Heinz catsup or was it Hunt's you put on your sock?

    Why?

    Can't they both suck without it turning into a racial discussion?

    Or were you just talking purely about reporting?
