Earlier today, Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless of ESPN’s First Take have finally agreed on something.  They both believe the official who apparently helped Patriots linebacker Dont’a Hightower avoid lining up directly over the snapper will be called on the proverbial carpet by his supervisors today.

He won’t be.  If it wasn’t clear before First Take went on the air at 10:00 a.m. ET (it should have been), it’s now entirely obvious.

just read that pettine renigged on his promise to have manziel be the starter the rest of the year after last weekend in texas. the pics werent too bad but the dude obviously doesnt get it. a trade aint helping him, especailly since cleveland is about the most boring place in america.

as for SAS, while I do agree with you that chip isnt going anywhere after this seasons because his team is tailored to him and starting over would be much more rebuilding that it would with most other teams, i did think he made a great point when he said the eagles got the terrible end of the foles-bradford trade.

sure it looks like a wash on the field, but the eagles are paying bradford $13m to play as bad as foles is for $1m. those kinds of hidden issues probably drive lurie and others in the FO crazy.

fair enough, the rams made the worse decision in that sense.

my pops stayed in philly with my mom to do thanksgiving with those guys so ill ask about a room but not sure hell be able to do it from there. ill keep you posted.

I was listening to espn radio yesterday and they were having a little debate on who is more famous then someone else at their company.  then they got into wondering who the most famous person is at ESPN (not including athletes turned talking heads like a jalen rose or ray lewis before he was fired) and there was an interesting debate.  who would you guys put in your top 5 of most famous guys at ESPN?  mine would be:

1. chris berman

2. dick vital

3. Michael wilbon

4. Stephen A smith

5. Skip Bayless

 

the criteria of being famous is how recognizable you are, not so much if you like the person or not. so if you were out in public and saw this guy walking around how would you hypothetical ranked them based on how many people would recognize that person or want to get an autograph/picture/etc.  The gruden one is a good one and he would def be in the top 2 or 3, but I threw out former athletes/coaches for our rankings because they got their fame through sports and not so much through ESPN like a berman/wilbon/SAS. 

he was always on the tv during lunch at chikfila in college so i will admit i will miss him for nostalgia reasons but as a tv personality im glad hes gone.

apparently he was championing kyrie irving over lebron for MVP real hard yesterday. did you see lebrons shirt at the airport? "ULTIMATE WARRIOR" haha he was trolling them so hard.

Stephen A. Smith has incorrectly picked the NBA finals each of the past 6 years haha

 

pay that man!

had some time to catch up on daytime sports tv. the new dude on first take that took over for skip bayless is JUST as bad. my goodness max kellerman wants to be him so badly.

ummm now that you say it it does sound a bit familiar. hes been in boxing for the longest. obviously the direction from FT producers is "be as big a dbag as possible with the worst, most off the wall opinions, so ppl will hate you enough to watch." they replaced one skip with another.

havent watched skips new on because shannon sharpe may be the only person id like to listen to less than max kellerman.

did you see skips tweet that mason crosby bailed out aaron rogers from getting badly outplayed by dak prescott (or something similar) hahaha
