    Fox Sports is pathetic. We want Fox Sports to be an alternative to ESPN. Hires the worst aspects of ESPN.

    Fox is poaching all of the egotistical hot take maniacs so ESPN would be wise to go back to their original formatting while letting all their ship jumpers burn at Fox while they still have the market cornered

    For those who don't follow it closely, the guy who made first take "first take" and really pushed the current espn format of "debate," left for Fox a year or two back. So that's where fox is heading

    Wouldn't shock me. Bayless knows Fox is a sinking ship but if they offer him more than that and he is nearing retirement age, why not take one last cash grab.

    I feel like they target new "talent" based more on the absurdity of their names as opposed to any actual anchoring skills. That being said, Prim Siripipat could def get it.
