Mad Dog is so right about the ridiculous “in the hunt” graphic. If the Giants are in the hunt to make the playoffs, then I’m in the hunt to get drafted into the NFL.
@@Jay-vm4lc bruh fine someone else to bother. Any man thinking something is sus, usually has something to hide. I’m just joking about women, not sure how that reads in your mind.
Y'all are all wrong the best bit was when Stephen A Smith was caught on camera late running into the studio, Madd Dogg went off screaming at Stephen A Smith while Stephen was sitting on the floor "DONT YOU EVVAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" like he's going Super Saiyan 😂😂😂
Even as a bears fan I agree. The past 3-4 years they have not only played poorly, but also played in the most boring possible style. Every game is like 12-9 or something
ESPN…. PLEASEEEEE don’t mess up with Mad Dog!!! This guy is amazing and hilarious!!! He is not a contender!!!! He is a one of a kind!!! Never let him go!!!
I don’t know if it was Stephen or someone else… but putting mad dog, swagu, and Stephen a together may be the best dynamic I’ve ever seen. Genius level
This is probably the best First Take has been im terms of casting members. Unc, swagu, KMART, SAS, Mad Dog, par mcafee, jeff saturday, Dan O, Rex. I love it!!

It's because of the TV market - Chicago is the 3rd biggest and a charter franchise in the NFL.. no matter how bad they are they will always get a few primetime games every year.
What amazes me is Mad Dog having longevity with this. Every week he is hilarious as if it's the first time. The fact that he speaks truth about sports also while doing this. The point about the Bears and all of the teams being "in the hunt" was spot on.
Here is the reason the Bears are in primetime. Chicago is one of the largest TV markets in the country. The Bears have a fanatically devoted fan base that will watch the team no matter how bad they are. This means that the Bears might draw a higher TV audience than a good team from a smaller market. Remember ratings equals money.
It’s better to get better teams televised, that way more people nationally are going to watch. Even having a devoted fan base is not going outdue two quality prime time opponents playing.
Everytime I watch Mad Dog, all I can think of is Joe Pesci, especially in Goodfellas. The temper, he even sounds like him to a degree when he yells. Lol, just imagine if Joe would’ve been given something like this like on Snl etc. That would’ve been hilarious.
If your not feeling like yourself, maybe even depressed and you just want something to smile about. Mad Dog's "What Are You MAD About?" segments will do the job I promise you.
This rant about the bears in prime time needs to be played on repeat over and over to the NFL schedule makers…NO ONE wants to see them in prime time..not even their own fans..because then everyone will make fun of them for how shitty their team is..plz NFL schedule makers..listen to mad dog..he’s 💯% right on this one
Mad Dog is so right about the ridiculous “in the hunt” graphic. If the Giants are in the hunt to make the playoffs, then I’m in the hunt to get drafted into the NFL.
Haha, there's alot of women that I am in the hunt for, in that case lol
😂😂😂😂😂
i mean via the math...
@@chasemontgomery4898ngl that sounds sus af
@@Jay-vm4lc bruh fine someone else to bother. Any man thinking something is sus, usually has something to hide. I’m just joking about women, not sure how that reads in your mind.
This is Mad Dog's finest hour on First Take. His rant about how SAS ditched him to see Deion in Colorado is now 2nd.
FACTS! "I coulda talked to Deiooon!!!!!" 😂😂😂
Y'all are all wrong the best bit was when Stephen A Smith was caught on camera late running into the studio, Madd Dogg went off screaming at Stephen A Smith while Stephen was sitting on the floor "DONT YOU EVVAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" like he's going Super Saiyan 😂😂😂
The Thanksgiving rant is Goated
😂
He kind of reminds me of don rickles
This is the best thing on tv. I wish this segment was on everyday lol.
Right? I'm bingeing/rewatch each segment on my day off!
He has a radio show everyday at 3PM on Sirius if you want to hear him yell all day.
It would lose its appeal if it was a daily thing.
@@distortedsoul27 Thank you so much it's a special occasion thing
Funny thing about it is that in 10 years, Steven A will be Mad Dog 2.0............
Nothing better on TV right now than MadDog and his rants. Love it 😂
Mad dog is right about the bears on prime time 🤣 unhinged but correct 💯
Even as a bears fan I agree. The past 3-4 years they have not only played poorly, but also played in the most boring possible style. Every game is like 12-9 or something
that Vikings Bears game would make anyone unhinged
That is pretty ridiculous that the Bears have had FIVE primetime games and the Texans have zero.
Lol I'm sorry man. I was watching the game couldn't get past the first 5 minutes
We started the nfl
If the cowboys & lions can play on thanxG ever year
We should get top 6-7 national time every year
The best weekly segment on First Take by a mile. Mad Dogg has grown on me over the months.
Facts !!
Me too i swear
HATED him pre TV... i like him now
If Swagu and SAS on set for this segment you know it’s gonna be funnier. Somebody is definitely gonna cry laughing
Yo this sketch with Mad Dog is some of the best sports television out for real. Great addition to the team. Mad Dog is a national treasure.
ESPN…. PLEASEEEEE don’t mess up with Mad Dog!!! This guy is amazing and hilarious!!! He is not a contender!!!! He is a one of a kind!!! Never let him go!!!
Mad dog been killin it lately
Mad Dog never fails to get my morning giggles going 😆🤣...Molly needs to try and laugh sometimes with her serious self
Best segment on TV 😂😂
3:24 “he called Jimmy out!?…Who is Jimmy?” SWAGU 😂😂😂😂
I don’t know if it was Stephen or someone else… but putting mad dog, swagu, and Stephen a together may be the best dynamic I’ve ever seen. Genius level
Doggy isn’t lying what is that about “in the hunt” lol😂😂😂😂❤
The way he SPAZZES and then so casually said "Number 1" 😂😂
I just LOVE the “What are you MAD about!” Segment. I feel like this let’s Mad Dog vent (much needed venting) as therapy for us all
This is bar none the best rant Mad Dog has gone on yet. That whole crew literally couldn’t even get a word in they were laughing so hard 😂
Mad Dog Russo is pure gold! Absolutely killing it with this segment.
Keep it going Mad Dog.....
This is better than any other ESPN segment
Nah The A list is goated
@@TaviasBabbBruh. The "List is fluid" is not the best segment😂
@@sheastadium2008 it’s better than most, when they aren’t talking about “brothers” every time they can
Mad Dog was cookin on this segment!!! 😂
This is probably the best First Take has been im terms of casting members. Unc, swagu, KMART, SAS, Mad Dog, par mcafee, jeff saturday, Dan O, Rex. I love it!!
I agree i just wished Irvin was on this year imagine Unc and Irvin with SAS on mondays lol
@@mikewootson2085maaaaaaaan!!! That would have been much watch TV for real!!!!🔥

Don't forget Ryan Clark 🙏
First take plus Get up with greeny = The Office Show of ESPN.
Greatest segment on TV. We need more Mad Dog
Mad Dog beefin with a tree is hilarious 💀
I have to say Mad Dog is coming around for me, he’s funny af
He has been since the 1980s
As a bears there's literally no reason to put us on primetime not this year,until we get better coaching and Justin stops running into ppl
Shut up
We started the nfl
Nobody complained about the cowboys playing on thanxG every year
It's because of the TV market - Chicago is the 3rd biggest and a charter franchise in the NFL.. no matter how bad they are they will always get a few primetime games every year.
Who is number 1 and 2 @@asylumharborproductions3364
@@asylumharborproductions3364Yup. Which is sad tho.
I feel like prime time spots should be reserved for teams that had a playoff spot the previous year or something
He said especially Buck and Aikman but sounded like F***ing Aikman 😂😂😂😂
This is def the funniest ESPN segment ever. Unreal. Love it and he's sooooooooo RIGHT about all of it, that's the beauty!
"IN THE HUNT for Caleb Williams" I am done lol
Molly actually scored one there.
@@abc_12333why would they draft a new QB???
@@ontop8331why not? I’m a life long giants fan. Danny Dimes AINT THAT GUY .
@@neal4859 your telling me. Caleb Williams is a franchise QB? Mmmm idk
MY GOD! FORGET THE LIGHTING OF THE TREE, DO IT AT 4 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING WHEN NOBODIES AROUND 😂😂😂
This makes my day every week I friggen laugh so hard every time Mad Dog you the man!!

0:55: The way Mad Dog said, “THEY ARE NOT IN THE HUNT!! CASE CLOSED…”; made me laugh hard. 😂🤣😂🤣
Mad Dog is hilarious 😂 when he goes on the rants!
This segment is gold
This might honestly be a top 5 Mad Dog rant in his illustrious broadcasting career 😂😂😂
Mad Dog is by far the best thing that has happened to ESPN in the last few years. His segments are the only ones I watch.
Imagine Shannon swagu and Stephen a watching mad dog would be best sport segment of the decade
This man killed this segment! Once a week of this please.
He does it every Wednesday.
@@richsanchez4527 sick, thanks, I didn't know. This was the first one I've caught.
Doggy is sooo funny lord can we have him on the show with Unc plz those debates would be sooo funny!!
I live for mad dog on this show just hilarious 😅
GOTTA LOVE MAD DOG MAN HE IS FUNNY AF! CANT MISS A WEDNESDAY ON FT! 😂😂💯💯🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣
The NY Christmas tree traffic be OD, I feel your pain Mad Dog 😂😂😂😂😂
Mad Dog is the best decision SAS made by adding him on here
This is one of my fav sports segments
Only Mad Dog could make the JFK assassination a topic on morning sports television 😂😂😂😂
Mad Dog is a National Treasure.
I've only seen this segment twice, but i must say, its a pretty good segment both times i saw it. I'll have to look for it next time
Used to have family like this and my momma always said "let em go, theyll tire themselves out eventually" 😂😂😂
I'm a Bears fan and every time i see them on prime time I think " how are they allowed to play on tv? "
They actually had me rooting for that messed up flexing change they made in the offseason. Why have these games not been flexed?
This had to BE THE BEST ONE YET
I’ve been listening to this guy (and Mike Francesca) for decades. He’s been ranting and raving since day one. I wouldn’t be the same without them
Here is the reason the Bears are in primetime. Chicago is one of the largest TV markets in the country. The Bears have a fanatically devoted fan base that will watch the team no matter how bad they are. This means that the Bears might draw a higher TV audience than a good team from a smaller market.

Third largest media market in the United States
Facts and I'm a Chicago native and Bears fan
Same reason the lions & cowboys play on thanxG every year
We started the nfl btw
It’s better to get better teams televised, that way more people nationally are going to watch. Even having a devoted fan base is not going outdue two quality prime time opponents playing.
U would think “Mad Dog” would understand something so basic. Also Justin Fields, etc
This is starting to become the best segment of first take 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mad Dog is absolutely right on EVERYTHING he just said!!
Lmao mad dog outta control 😂😂
Legendary

Mad dog is a legendary treasure love it

This segment and Stephens A-list is can't miss entertainment
Poor Bears😂😂😂😂😂
I love this Mad dog segment and all of it was true 🤣
This is gold 😂 I like this segment
Mane who tf spiked Mad Dog coffee this morning? 😂😂😂 He's on 1!
Mad dog the best part of first take
This is Mad Dog Russo’s best one yet. He nailed all 3. Too bad this clip didn’t show the end when he caught Molly about her date.
I think this might be the best one since the JJ Redick roast 😂
Mad dog is hilarious
I felt that tree lighting thing.
If your not feeling like yourself, maybe even depressed and you just want something to smile about. Mad Dog's "What Are You MAD About?" segments will do the job I promise you.
Mad Dog is the greatest! Best segment on tv!
MAD DOG IS MAD, IS THE BEST SEGMENT IN SPORTS SHOWS RIGHT NOW ...
By far best sports segment on ESPN.
Mad Dog never disappoints!!!

I love Mad Dog been listening for years.
