Explain to the class why you watch First Take, Get Up, etc. (1 Viewer)

Cowherd used to be good, but he has really dropped off since starting his podcast company. He consistently gives takes that make no sense and indicate that he doesn't watch games (or as many as he needs to make such proclamations). I see the clips on Twitter, and I am just like, what is he watching?
 
I usually get back from dropping my son off at school at around 8am. I may flip on ESPN2 for the 8am SportsCenter while making breakfast before starting the work day. They frequently have some minute long promo just before 8am showing some hot take from “Get Up” the previous day, as they somehow think that will entice me to watch that instead. I may then scramble for the remote thinking I accidentally turned on ESPN instead of ESPN2. Instead, it just confirms that I can’t get away from it even when I intentionally try to do so.
 
I am still generally OK with Get Up (versus First Take, which is unwatchable due to Screams At Something = SAS), but this chick Chiney Ogummike or whatever her name is is starting to turn into the female version of SAS. She's on pretty much every show ESPN has where hoops is a main focus, and is starting to grate a little bit. OK a lot.

an unfortunate feature of an ESPN contract, i think. you sign up to be put on every show they have related to your niche. those people get no breaks.
 
Occasionally I watch GMFB in season.

I haven’t consumed any non-game content on ESPN for at least 12-13 years. I find the “Shouty Shows” to be especially abhorrent.

I find I barely watch any network or cable tv. We stream entertainment and probably 95% of my sports analysis content comes from podcasts, Reddit, X or YT.
 
mostly unwatchable, sometimes i'm jonesing for football content so do watch it more than i'd like to admit, there's useful nuggets at times.
 
I don't know what Mike Greenberg has morphed into, but it's awful. Turned it on for background noise today, and made it about 4 minutes.
 
I used to listen to Mike and Mike on my morning commute. I thought it was okay, good enough for the morning commute.

Once Greenberg screwed over Golic, I was done with him. For me, I always valued Golic more, even before Greenberg showed who he was. I would never watch any show he is involved in.

the way it seems like only his lips move when he talks but the rest of his face is frozen has always freaked me out
 
just saw he's rumored to be the new host of NFL Countdown
Yup. Not sure what I think about that.

I was a big fan of Mike & Mike. It was on super-early here on the west coast but I would occasionally catch it if I was making a super-early morning drive somewhere.

Still can't stand SAS.

I've flipped over to GMFB. It's OK.
 
Shedeur Sanders potentially to the Cowboys feels like something First Take might wanna discuss for 40 minutes three times a week for the next 6 months.
You can set your watch to this. Jerry will fire McCarthy after the season and hire Deion as his new head coach, and then Shedeur will declare that he refuses to play for any except the Cowboys.
 
They did a segment about Dolphin players who grew up in cold climates. One of them is FB Alex Ingold "Who grew up in Bay Port, Wisconsin." No, there is no such community. He went to Bay Port High School, which is in the Howard/Suamico school district, which is in suburban Green Bay. Another hint is they just won the Division 1 State football championship.

Now I’m curious if he grew up in Suamico, Howard, or as my dad still calls it “Duck Creek.”
 
Peter Schwager is leaving Good Morning Football after today, likely signing a new contract with ESPN.
I used to watch GMFB pretty much every morning. I heard this news and thought it was pretty strange that he just up and left without much fanfare. He was an original member of the team and you'd think they'd give him more of a sendoff. Not everyone likes the guy; I think he's OK. :shrug:

I liked it when it was new. The 2 dudes especially Brandt annoy me to no end now.

Plus no Kay Adams … I never tune in anymore

Yeah it's definitely changed a lot since the days of Kay and Nate Burleson.

Hasn't NFLN been on its way out for some time now? I used to love a ton of their programming but now it seems like they're just replaying old games and that's about it.

He is OK, and actually has some sources, and breaks stories, and has good takes. Especially for being on a lightweight morning show. The other dude is much more annoying.

Shrager just looks punch-able. Not his fault. But every frat in college had a dude who looked just like him, who usually pissed all the girls off by saying something crass during the party.

Maybe it was just an east coast thing.
