    I just wish Molly understood her role a little better! No one listens or watches this show to hear you yap on and on! She’s incredibly annoying!
  • not a lebron fan
    Fake news
    Yall wanna talk about everything except how cringe worthy your decision was to force ppl to take the vaccine. How yall held it up in ppls faces and talked bad about ppl who wanted to make their own decision about what they put in their bodies. Why so quiet on the fact that your entire network was incredibly wrong?

    BRING BACK DISCIPLINE.. STEPHEN A. NYK , SMITH šŸ™šŸæ
    What happened to COACHING in the NBA, As we witness the decline in attendance and the lack of competitiveness due to the game being coached without ANY TYPE OF PLAY BOOK OR OFFENSE BY DESIGN!! Where is our Pat Riley , Chuck Daily , , Greg Pops , Phil Jackson , minded coaching ??? The control and respect of coaches has been taken and given to the players. Example look at our center and power forwards positions being played like their shooting guards !! No one is playing defense these years!! Let’s address the coaches job in the NBA AND HOW ITS BEING DONE AND MAYBE WE CAN SEE TRUE DEVELOPMENT NOT AS INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS ALONE BUT AS A TEAM, THEN WE WITNESS KD AT HIS BEST, BY BEING PLACED IN THAT TYPE OF GAME AND MOMENT , LETS WITNESS EMB , IN PURE UNDERRATED DOMINANCE !!

    We’re back
    For a while the show was too repetitive and just about Stephen A … but a few years later we’re back. Stephen A is no longer the lone star and now has a TEAM of highly skilled sport commentators that show out every day. Brings me back to the Skip/Max level debates.

    Shannon Sharpe Must Be Fired
    Shannon Sharpe Must Be Fired. I’ve been watching ESPN for decades and I’ve never seen a show host threaten another show host with violence over support for his team that had nothing to do with personal nature whatsoever. Threats like that are actually illegal, and the status of ESPN shows and network must be maintained by holding these standards which does not accept the threats of violence by anybody within the network, especially a show host with national coverage. Sharpe has to be fired. Shannon Sharpe’s aggressive, threatening attitude and tone prevents me from ever tuning into the show, and I’m sad that he’s on it now. I have no idea why ESPN hired this lunatic Sharpe.

    Dan White/Slave owner
    I’m shocked! Dana White pays his fighters as if they are indentured servants. This is an example of ESPN dictating the content of your show. I’m disappointed in you Steven A.!!!
  • JonRio215
    All over the place
    I genuinely enjoy the conversations on the show but sometimes I like to skip around. It would be great if they could put timestamps on what topics they’re discussing in the show notes like so many of the other good shows. Sometimes its so annoying I just skip the show all together.
  • Truest!!cme

    Almost done
    Same stuff and it gets old
  • FearSportz
    KICK OFF REDICK
    STOP bringing Louis Redick on!!! -Louis Redick is always being irrational on his basketball takes and would love to see First Take bring basketball analysts back on the program. Example: Redick saying Coach Kerr did a horrible job coaching against the Serbia National Team and EMBARRASSED Tatum. YOU ARE NOT A BASKETBALL ANALYST. Just always trying to cook up some ridiculous beef nobody wants to hear Doggie keep doin what u do!
  • A Guy25
    Too Politcal
    A man was almost killed by being shot in the head, and there was no mention of it on their show. But anytime there is an event that lines up with their ideals politically, that Has to be brought up. For years I’ve ignored it, but now it’s gone too far. No matter where you stand, you shouldn’t wish death on anyone. And it’s very clear that they must wish that.
  • flacker boy
    Amazing podcast
    Anytime I want to listen to a good sports podcast that’s funny and has personality I listen to First Take. Stephen A or MR. SMITH is my favorite sports journalist and the fact that they have guys like Wendy, Big Perk, and Shannon made it even more enjoyable. I really like this podcast and I highly recommend listening to it.
  • GoKnicksBrunsonshim
    Funny
    Hilarious podcast, Stephen A is perfect, but Molly has to stop yapping.
  • Really two sweet
    Great team
    I started watching First Take when Shannon Sharpe came over from FS1. I love that everyone works hard to make the show interesting and informative. They have their moments because of all the personalities but giving the audience it’s best always. I was introduce to many new sports celebrities but I have come to love Mad Dog. Keep up the good work team!!!!!
  • kenhagen
    Olympics
    Since they started having professionals in the Olympics it’s gone downhill. I never watch it anymore. It takes away from amateurs. When I was a boy I’d read about all my Olympic heros that sacrificed so much to go to the Olympics. We can watch all these pros all year long. It was great when the amateur hockey team beat the Russians. Now they’re high paid and they blow out the other teams. It’s boring.
  • Kicco d
    Kyrie Irving, and the fact that no one brings up him not thinking the holocaust was real
    I would never stop apologizing if I ever came out and said the things /Irving said about the holocaust
  • Vamos Steelers
    Remove adds
    I like how they include women’s sport updates. It’s just that there are way too many add’s in there.

    The New York Knicks…
    I’m listening to Stephen A Smith, screaming yellow about orange and blue skies in LeBron James coming into the Knicks… If that ever happens, I definitely want to see him wearing some knickerbockers’s at LeBron James press conference!!!šŸ˜‚
  • beastlyeast975
    Amazing
    Stephen A and Shannon Sharpe are amazing and have great logic. Great show.
  • JALC.
    Show is falling off
    I had to stop listening to this show. All they do is say outrageous takes that have no logic just for clicks. Im switching to the pay mcafee show
  • youngmsnjosh
    Do you have to have so many ads?
    I love listening to the show but the ads are a little excessive
  • Pucho_0411

  • StuArmy910
    Thanks for adding Shannon
    Thank you the addition of Unc Shannon Sharpe! He’s holding it down while SAS is out.
  • helltoni
    Great Addition
    Shannon is the best thing since sliced bread!!! Much needed addition LETS GO SHAY!!
  • I.Benjammin
    It’s fine if you enjoy being yelled at
    I thought Screaming A was loud, but now they have this fella calling himself mad dog who yells incessantly and it is….unnerving. This podcast will have you begging for an ad break.
  • Flippa3xx
    Please Come To A Professional Closing
    Please start playing the whole show. Yall have been cutting out mid sentence lately . I look forward to this daily . Enough ads already

    Awful
    Plain awful
  • Rfettig6
    So lame
    Its pathetic that they continue doing these types of shows.
  • Pleoavcee
    Insecure SAS
    The whole episode was Steven A jealously jabbing Molly while he flamboyantly flexes options in Miami & other options
  • Oakley Fight Club
    Outstanding Show
    Absolutely love the show, huge sports fan. Mad Dog has been an outstanding addition, he really brings the show’s energy to a whole new level. Stephen A is always great, appreciate the honesty & love how he holds athletes, management, owners accountable. Always smash like, rate/review & subscribe so we keep the show going. ESPN is still the leader in sports & the very best in the industry.
  • your trash kid and weird
    Love but
    Stop talking about Cowboys please.
  • Rabbit7278
    Big fan here
    I used to listen to Undisputed, because I love Shannon Sharp’s NFL analyses. Ever since Shannon moved over to First Take, I’ve become a big fan of the show! Stephen A and the crew are excellent and fun to listen to. Dan O. is enjoyable, but I always agree with Stephen A and Shannon. Still love ya tho DO.
  • Ramon707
    Need less add.
    I don’t think there’s enough ads. Take notes from first things first.
  • oakboundbooks
    there is nothing worse than
    beholding the decline of Stephen a smith and company, particularly Molly qerim, her aura more fake and negative seemingly w every stroke of the second hand. Worse than irrelevant, simply awful
