On another note, if Steven A Smith does leave, please do us a favor and take Molly with you. I’m just saying!
ESPN WILL BE A TOTAL HOG WASH WITHOUT STEPHEN A FACT BOOK IT. RATNGS WILL PLUMETH 😂
Malika Andrew's first 🙏🏼😅
@@youwingallin7950I understand your request and respect it. But, I just can’t take those batting eyes and puckering up those lips, just to have them part and say absolutely nothing. I can’t! 🤦♂️
And Ryan Clark
Yes, please!!!
Replacing Stephen A with Max would be the best play
Max was great.
💯
BINGO! ONLY APPROPRIATE 😊
Y’all be over-exaggerating Max’s value 😂 Max is a talented commentator but ultimately he is replaceable. Say what y’all want about Smith, but FT was successful before Max, and it became even more successful after Max. Max needs to stay in his lane which is boxing. 🥊
Max had his own show on ESPN last year and it wasn't a ratings killer.
SAS’s replacement is already there; Shannon.
Shannon is water down on first take, but he was unk on undisputed.
Yep. Shannon just a few weeks ago paid homage to SAS for rescuing him from Skip Bayless at Fox Sports. SAS was elated over Shannon saying that about him. Shannon Sharpe presently appears on the First Take Show on Mondays and Tuesdays only. Mad Dog Caruso appears on Wednesday. SAS makes $12 million per year presently.
I just hope Shannon puts Molly in her place and makes her just be a moderator only instead of sticking her nose in all the debate topics. She has gotten too big for her britches and SAS allowed it to the point he could not reign her back in.
He's boring af. He was good with Skip
@Tampa81333 first take is a part time job for shannon
How ironic, SAS, the same guy who said when he wakes up in the morning, first thing he thinks about is how can he make his boss more money, but yet they don’t think about giving him more money. 🤔
😂😂😂😂 frfr
How is he making his boss money when Stephan a smith turned the company to a laughing stock and started the rise of alternative media
That shits kinda funny 😂
I don't know what his problem is. He's accomplished his daily goals, he's made his bosses money and they are trying to give him "some". Now he is mad that Pat McAfee said "I only care about how much money I am getting and they better pay me or I wil stay where I'm at"., so they paid him $30 million and now Stephen A. Is mad. That is all on him. McAfee don't give a fcuk about ESPN's bosses and told them to break bread, let me cuss and let me do what I wanna do. He also goes at them bosses publically and they don't tell him shit. Stephen A. and Shannon are way to "humble" and plyable for me. That is why they get treated like a bunch of lil beyotchs.
@jmoney6043 the company was never a laughing stock. Do you know who kenny mane, Chris Berman, Stewart scott is
ESPN going downhill honestly.
Yep, because we don't need them anymore because of social media
ESPN will soon have trans sports commentators
They probably already do.
Does this worry you? Do you wake up every day afraid of the masses of trans people? If so, I hope they step it up and give you your worst fear
SAS thinks he should be paid like the athletes that he talks about.
They have it in shannon sharpe.
Agree.
Exactly!! And he’s over playing his hand!! Fox can prop up anyone for half his salary!! He will find out soon!! 🤔😭
Everybody on that shitty ass show, needs to go. Except MAD DOG
No way
Nonsense
He asked for 25 million because he thinks he doesn't need ESPN? This sounds more like a pitch to work with Steven A
ESPN needs to save they money and take off all these debate shows and go back to showing SportsCenter all morning on a loop like back in the day That's what made us like ESPN
So sick of screaming A smith in the morning
If Stephen A goes take toxic Malika with you!
bring back Max!!!
Shannon and Max would be must see
Max and Jalen Rose need to cook up a podcast together. I'll be all in on it!
@@VeezyTheGreat Marcellus yes. If Max not gonna be solo. Put em with Willy he will give push back.
No….
@@Dundotti yes!
I’m so sick of Stephen A Smith’s goddamn voice and takes and I will be so happy for someone else.
I’m more SICK of it than 🫵🏽…can he get the HELL ON…like last week type gone👈🏾
Same Here
Everybody have their opinion about my boy Stephen A but he's not everyone's cup of tea
@@anthonysmith3 I’ve been down since a cold 🍕 days, that guy has turned into a self loathing JHERK…i no longer watching him👈🏾
WORD!!!!!!
SAS is dumb for letting Shannon sharpe come to 1st take. Cuz ESPN knew sharp will take over cuz he has a larger fan base. He made he’s decision with his ❤️ instead with his brain
The man that has him called Shay Shay grew his fan base by riding LeBum’s stick and is another talking head that only knows to praise the fake goat and is compromised with LeKlutch Sports. A younger more athletic SAS that actually played a pro sport.
I disagree he was looking out for another BM, what all black people should do. Also SAS can do what others have done that left ESPN like Dan Patrick Rich Esain etc
@@JPB242hgc2 in this world 🌎 it’s player vs player …..can’t lead with your ❤️ in business
Yes this was a mistake he’s lost all leverage in negotiations now
@@chironjoBest comment again man..
I don’t think espn cares about losing Stephen A smith because they can easily find another good boy ready to butter them biscuits. Shannon seems primed to do just that.
Shannon gonna honey butter them biscuits 😂
🤣🤣🤣 f-a-f
😂😂😂😂😂
? Good boy
Never hear nobody refer to Mike Greenberg or Scott Van Pelt as a boy. Racist azz comment.
SAS really believes he’s bigger than the network.
He's a clown bro
@@jimmycharlotin7050hi shit why ,?, lol
@@jimmycharlotin7050 he,s a clown wit money ok TROLL and am proud of him as a BLACK MAN HE DOES HIS JOB VERY WELL, I HOPE U DO YOURS AS WELL,
Why does he have to be a clown to ask for what he is worth????
@@charleshaynes5344 he's not worth 25 mil
SAS was reaching. He should’ve knew his time was up from the day Shannon got hired.
He was the one who pushed for them to get Shannon bro lol
@@boblansonfig3972 facts.💯
Let's keep it real. 90 million is a huge increase over what he currently makes. His RUclips channel is so so compared to other sports heavyweights. I feel he needs to check his ego at the door. He's not going to get that money anywhere else.
Make Max the replacement..
Biggest troll move ever and I'm here for it lol
Bruh. And offer him 25 million. 😅😅😅
That would be great! But he should never go back
He had a show and nobody watched him. He is not genuine and tries to be too smart who
Yes!!!!!
Smith currently makes $12 million from, ESPN, the Worldwide Leader, but that doesn't put him in the top three salaries at ESPN. Those spots are occupied by Troy Aikman ($18 million) and Joe Buck and Pat McAfee ($15 million each).
You’d be out of your mind if you think they’re going to make a so-called Black man, SAS, the highest-paid. And *psst*… None of those three guys bring in the ratings like Stephen A… 😮
This is 🇺🇸!!!
I don't think SAS is that dumb to think they will agree to his offer.....this is just his way of saying he wants to leave.
Exactly and that’s why integration failed us we’d have much more money and power by now
What is the problem SAS will show up on a MAGA show or platform and dance even harder.
Facts and we all know it is coming, just like Whitlock
He is wanting McAfee money but McAfee built his own mini empire and brought it to ESPN SAS did not..
Once Stephen A. leaves, espn ratings may drop slightly but Stephen A. wont get no where near the audience if he goes somewhere else. He forgets ESPN has been and will continue to be the largest platform in all of sports. It was before Stephen A. got there, it was while he was there and will continue to be after he is gone.
🎯
Dude wants 25 million dollars.. yeah if I were ESPN.. I wouldn't be on board with that either
$18 is say 72% of the way to $25 so it is probably down to total guaranteed years. Nobody knows what kind of shape he will be in that old. Just look at Skip Bayless deteriorating with his nose every single minute.
@@rubbishrabble he wouldn't get a cent over 18 mil if I'm ESPN
Congratulations Stephen A. You played yourself
SAS brought his eventual replacement over from FS1. He also co-hosts with him on Monday and Tuesday. SAS thought he was doing a brother a solid. Didn’t realize he brought in the Trojan horse.
Crazy
Buck dance 😂
It is difficult for me to see SAS leaving the corporate plan-ta-tion. He is overly infatuated with the ESPN lens and his inflated network status.
Stephen A. Smith will fall flat on his own. He is best in a corporate structure. His platform outside of ESPN is good, but not that the level of established others. Frankly, I could do without Stephen A. Smith.
Plantation....he gets millions. No slavery there, he's just like everyone else.
Hello has an option of fox sports lol
Right
Good show. No way he is worth $25 mill. Nice ESPN holding firm. I mean $18 mill is a lot. Let’s see how it plays out.
18 million is great money. I think he deserves more, but no one else will offer anything close to 18 million. He doesn't have much outside of the ESPN umbrella. Shannon does and Pat does.
@@KNByam he definitely does not deserve more
@maverick33guy95 Explain please.
@@KNByam I put it about as blunt as I could.. he wants to make the most at espn.. 18 would do that.. he's being insane asking for 25.. he ain't worth that
No it wont pat mafee makes that and his show is some 💩@maverick33guy95
What "Bombshell"!!! He is a fool!!! ESPN returned 37 Emmys recently!!! Neither party is cheerful news!!!
Fs1 let skip go?? Now that makes sense
If he leaves ESPN, he'll buck dance to FOX they pay him to buck dance even more.... he'll be on Fox News and Undisputed
In our Illumunati meetings, SAS sits on Shay-shay's lap! FACTS!!
Facts
So why would you tell what goes on in your meetings? 😂
When Stephen A said on national tv the first thing he do when he wake up is think of ways to make the bosses money he was ☠️
Please replace that 🤡
I'll say this much, the egos of SAS, Molly, and SS are outa control. It's been enough that I no longer watch the show anymore. ESPN could just bring Shaq, Barkley, and crew into the fold.
This is a article speculating a replacement. McAfee isn't leaving his own show (that is syndicated on ESPN) to work for ESPN on First Take. That is hustling backwards. ESPN stepped over Stephen A when they went and did that contract to get McAfee and Stephen A knows it. That is what this move from Stephen A is about in my opinion.
NBC should hire Stephen A and Skip, have them do a first take show but also have them go live after NBA games and Sunday Night Football games. 10- minute instant reaction debate on NBC
So he did all that buck dancing to not getting what he wants huh
God is GREAT hope they replace him ASAP
They could cancel First Take and bring McAfee to that time slot.
That Charles Barkley/Stephen A Smith show finna hit different
When he seperated from the network, I think SAS will find out he’s not as “big” as he thinks he is.
🎯
I bet he take that 17m and sthu now 😂 Stephen A want the spotlight he want to be on our tv screens like he really is a star so he going to agree to what ESPN settles with cuz he want to be a the face of something and he don’t won’t his beloved ESPN to be took over by Shannon already
Black people, there's countless more important things we need to be focused on. This is nowhere near "serious news".
If ESPN let's Stephen A Smith goes and they cannot come to agreement on a contract it wouldn't surprise me if he rejoins skip on FS1 undisputed
Where is this article from??? Why it looked typed.. Come on now, you gotta say the reference.. It looks like this is click bait..
So ESPN goes back to sports 😮
Any coverage of the Olympic qualifying tournaments they're a lot more exciting than the NBA playoffs
Definitely not
SAS..........go to Undisputed! (Plot twist) lol
Good, maybe I’ll watch the show again, they need a Clean cut , Stephen A Gone, Shannon Gone, and Molly Gone. All three of them Outta There
In the words of the great philosopher Ice Cube, 'On ESPN but they don't care. They'll have a new N166A next year.'
He won't leave by choice, espn made him. SAS can't survive on social media alone.
Exactly, I say they end up meeting in the middle 22mill
Pat can not replace SAS, Espn will never substitute a black with a white. Shannon makes more sense and he is already under contract.
aint nobody else out there ready to give him 20 mil+ a year. Fox Sports? Naw! Cable is a dying industry. And SAS has zero leverage. He can leave and they'll just replace him with Shannon. And he was the one who brought Shannon to ESPN! LOL
I might start watching espn again if Stephanie A. Myth leaves. On second thought, I seriously doubt it.
ESPN obviously wants Stephen A outta their industry because they are probably lowkey have grown tired of him and his messy shit.
They have it in shannon sharpe
Stephen A pricing himself out
By throwing big bank at McAfee ESPN created an environment similar to QB salaries in the NFL. Every time contract negotiations come up everybody's looking to set the market so go for it Stephen A. The only question is if he's pricing himself out of the market. I'm sure he's got some logical basis for asking for that amount. I think he's gonna get more than 18 but less than 25.
Fs1 is about to pay him handsomely
Why this dude Talking good About this ESPN Boy
SAS is an soap opera actor/reality tv star pretending he is a sport journalist
Nobody listens to Dan and Stephen will fade just like them if he leaves first take.
Some people just don't have the same pop without the network magic behind them. Stephen A and skips podcasts both dry as hell.
It's never serious when you say it's serious 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣Good one, because he is always talking about breaking news or something and it be mediocre 🤣🤣
He’ll probably go to FOX news.
Stephen A Smith forgot the cardinal rule that nobody is bigger than ESPN
They gave Shannon a new generous contract, knowing that SAS would demand greater numbers than McAfee. The network is playing chess with SAS by giving Shannon a new deal which is significantly lower than the $90mill that ESPN offered SAS. ESPN now has leverage over SAS so if he decides to leave, Shannon gets promoted immediately while ESPN saves millions from not having to pay SAS AND STILL sustain big numbers with First Take with Shannon as host due to social media following and his popularity!
SAS flew to close to the sun pretending to be bigger than ESPN. I honestly now watch FT for anybody but Him
He better hope He don't get is N- Wake Call
lol ain’t nobody gonna watch SAS outside of espn. We watch his bs show because it’s espn..most us don’t care who on there. I can’t stand Andrews but I still watch espn
What is Max Kellerman doing these days?
Got tossed by the Boss, good for you 🦝... Take Molly with you
If you think SAS don’t need espn you crazy asf SAS doesn’t come close to the following that pat has pat has so many different generations listing to him I don’t know anyone under 45 that takes SAS seriously
All these athletes doing they own podcast and working within black spaces. ESPN and Pat can do sports for white people, but the black athletes going to be independent and have better content away from white media.
ESPN will be looking for a new employee who wakes up everyday thinking of how he can make the boss more money
Stephen A did something last week that was wild 😝 by using an example by comparing Rich Paul of Clutch sports 🏀 to Lance Armstrong & brought up PEDS in the same sentence, To it almost seemed like a back handed remark aimed at LeBron James this was brought up when Rich Paul threatened that Bronny Will play in Australia 🇦🇺
Haha SAS he is a fool I don't even watch First Take after getting rid of Max, u reap what you sow 😅
Shannon Sharpe would be a great replacement. Never was a Stephen A. Smith fan he talks too much about people too. SAS thinks he's the biggest thing since sliced bread
Dreamer Pro Skip Bayless Did Not Leave ESPN In 2011 ,Skip Bayless Left First Take ESPN As A Whole In August 2016 That's When Skip's Contract Ended 2011 Is A Slight Error 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Espn needs to bring jalen Rose back
See ya Stephen A. You won't be missed. Take Perkins and Molly with you!
All that yessa bossin sas been doing youre replaceable buddy it will be max kellerman and shannon show
The Sun? You know that’s a tabloid right?😂😂😂
Let him get his content off lol
Max will be a great replacement. Molly needs to go as well.
Damn Stephen a leaving espn in a bad light never know when he needs another outlet he think is value is to high he thinking he basketball player Stephen a you just hosting a show that’s ur fairly u wanna scream and make it more than what it is
Spreading nonsense he's not going anywhere.
I see both sides. On one side, this is Disney we're talking about who owns everything. All the money they have, they can afford an extra $7mil/year. On the other side, damn the ego is on full display here
I saw in an article that co hosts and staffers at first take are fed up with Stephen A. and Shannon Sharpe. Some co hosts are looking for work elsewhere and some staffers are looking to quit
I wouldn't watch ESPN if you begged me
Hey Dawg you ain't getting 18 million ftom anyone else
Won’t miss him. Pop the champagne 🍾!!! And if he runs for any office, we’ll hear the truth about 17 in a row….😂
If they give Shannon a contract extension for half SAS, imagine 😂
He want 25 a year so he can tell ball players. I’m getting paid more than u. In his voice 😭
SAS knows his time is up and he wants to leave . So he will ask for ridiculous money so he dont get resigned... SAS has his own platform now... He would have more freedom not being apart of espn
SA is about to sign a 90M contract with ESPN...I dont know where u are getting ur fake info.😅😊
It's a trip how these journalists think that they should get paid far more than these active professional athletes. No wander why these athletes that have no communication skills nor broadcasting skills go into this profession after retiring. It's the reason why podcasting is booming as well for active athletes and retired athletes.
I’ve been watching these shows for a year or so waiting for Charles to get a real, hard opinion on stuff. His videos are more of reporting the news and giving generic feedback….”ESPN is tight about there money. They did this for Skip.”….cool. So I’ll say it, Stephen A Shit is not worth $25M! He should have seen the writing on the wall when they hired Shay. Stephen, you advocated to have your replacement hired. Like most of the sports analysts before him, he need to lean into his podcast and make WAYYYYY more than ESPN will pay him.
To be honest his podcast is just average.
@@vec1977 I agree but he has enough of a following that he could make his bread
ESPN should call his bluff, let him go and see what he does independently. Anyone who thinks losing SAS is going to hurt their declining market share is confused.
And fox sports would gladly hire him have you seen first take when Stephen a not there it's terrible
@@cookiemonster64 If Fox takes him they take him. No way I am paying him $25 million a year.
Bro SAS is JUST a personality. He is CONSTANTLY getting called out. His 32 "sources" getting tired of the 🧢. NBA players AND RUclipsrs BEEN clowning this oreo
