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!!!
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
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
@jmoney
Disney did that. They feminized ESPN and the NBA
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
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
Molly is one, but I get your point lol
Molly real name is Mark
He is wanting McAfee money but McAfee built his own mini empire and brought it to ESPN SAS did not..
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 thinks he should be paid like the athletes that he talks about.
He asked for 25 million because he thinks he doesn't need ESPN? This sounds more like a pitch to work with Steven A
If Stephen A goes take toxic Malika with you!
Congratulations Stephen A. You played yourself
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
@@antD9 I’ve been down since a cold 🍕 days, that guy has turned into a self loathing JHERK…i no longer watching him👈🏾
WORD!!!!!!
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
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
Let's keep it real. 90 million is a huge increase over what he currently makes. His UA-cam 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.
So sick of screaming A smith in the morning
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.
🎯
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..
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.💯
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!
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
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
That’s what social media is for
@@Grimmes12 They get the highlights for social media from SportsCenter 🤷🏽♂️
@@Grimmes12 Social media gets it's highlights from ESPN 🤷🏽♂️
@@Dalvecc not necessarily
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
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
What "Bombshell"!!! He is a fool!!! ESPN returned 37 Emmys recently!!! Neither party is cheerful news!!!
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
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 😂
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!!!!!
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? 😂
Fs1 let skip go?? Now that makes sense
Max will be a great replacement. Molly needs to go as well.
Stephen A doesn’t need them, he’s doing great and growing on UA-cam.
@@letsboogie4408 ESPN doesn't need him either if we're being honest
I dont care for SAS but I think your right. I also think he feels handicapped at espn.
@@blunt2416 ESPN doesn't need him and I have no idea how they've handicapped him
he has been in trouble with the woke network before...
I think his UA-cam channel is just average at best.He's not as popular as he thinks. If he were to ever leave ESPN I think he would get a reality to check quicker than he would expect. SAS is well known but not popular
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 ☠️
Where is this article from??? Why it looked typed.. Come on now, you gotta say the reference.. It looks like this is click bait..
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
That Charles Barkley/Stephen A Smith show finna hit different
SAS is an soap opera actor/reality tv star pretending he is a sport journalist
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.
Any coverage of the Olympic qualifying tournaments they're a lot more exciting than the NBA playoffs
Definitely not
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.
When he seperated from the network, I think SAS will find out he’s not as “big” as he thinks he is.
🎯
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 🤣🤣
ESPN will be looking for a new employee who wakes up everyday thinking of how he can make the boss more money
Pat can not replace SAS, Espn will never substitute a black with a white. Shannon makes more sense and he is already under contract.
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
SAS..........go to Undisputed! (Plot twist) lol
I might start watching espn again if Stephanie A. Myth leaves. On second thought, I seriously doubt it.
In the words of the great philosopher Ice Cube, 'On ESPN but they don't care. They'll have a new N166A next year.'
SAS politics are very underdeveloped and unsophisticated.
We know he likes money but that’s about it.
They could cancel First Take and bring McAfee to that time slot.
Stephen A Smith forgot the cardinal rule that nobody is bigger than ESPN
So ESPN goes back to sports 😮
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!
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
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.
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
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
Espn needs to bring jalen Rose back
That would be bad business considering that they are still paying him
I don't blame Stephen for wanting to leave, ESPN doesn't like to pay people and they fired all of the talent that once made ESPN worth watching.
Stephen A pricing himself out
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.
God is GREAT hope they replace him ASAP
See ya Stephen A. You won't be missed. Take Perkins and Molly with you!
Spreading nonsense he's not going anywhere.
He better hope He don't get is N- Wake Call
Imagine turning down 18 mill/yr for just talking about sports.
I'm hoping Steven A. leaves ESPN, he doesn't need them anymore.
Please replace that 🤡
He's the one who destroyed ESPN the most. I used to like him but all he does is race baiting. He doesn't really know much about topics he talks about.
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 😅😅😅😅😅😅
What is Max Kellerman doing these days?
Black people, there's countless more important things we need to be focused on. This is nowhere near "serious news".
He turned down 18 million dollars ..ESPN SAID NO TO 25 AND GOOD FOR THEM
I stopped watching ESPN a LONG TIME AGO because of personalities like Stephen A, Le Batatd, etc.
I couldn't care less if he stays or goes. ESPN has lost me forever.
That said, I think he goes. They're never agreeing to his terms... and I'll never follow him on any platform
I really don't care about Steven A Snitch.
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
SAS is going to end up on Fox News. He’s been auditioning for several years now. Mark my words…
ESPN obviously wants Stephen A outta their industry because they are probably lowkey have grown tired of him and his messy shit.
Malika Andrews is SAS replacement. The writing was on the wall when she was comfortable enough to disrespect him on HIS own show.
I wouldn't watch ESPN if you begged me
$125 million Bought and Paid for 🤓
Imagine FS1 breaks the bank and puts Steven A. across the table from Skip. Come on universe work!
I can definitely see that happening
They have it in shannon sharpe
The fact that they pay that carnival barker even 1 million is beyond me. I turn him off every time I come across his ignorant rants. Truth be told, basically all the talking heads on ESPN are useless, but SAS is in a league of his own in terms of intolerable
SAS flew to close to the sun pretending to be bigger than ESPN. I honestly now watch FT for anybody but Him
Haha SAS he is a fool I don't even watch First Take after getting rid of Max, u reap what you sow 😅
Some people just don't have the same pop without the network magic behind them. Stephen A and skips podcasts both dry as hell.
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
Incredible greed from a person. 18 million dollars to talk sports for a living, that guy must have one massive ego who will not earn anywhere near that anywhere else.
They need to Get rid of SAS, Molly and Shannon Sharpe and Bring Jay Williams Monica McNutt and Tim Legler...
Nobody listens to Dan and Stephen will fade just like them if he leaves first take.
Steven A doesn't have any talent. He's an average entertainer at best and doesn't have the ability to educate you about sports. He will be exposed for that once he is no longer with ESPN.
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.
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
Let’s be honest everybody Stephen A. Smith is worth every dime of that 25 mil🤷🏾♂️💯
He is! I am a huge fan also! ❤😎
He’ll probably go to FOX news.
People keep cursing Stephen A right now. But once he leaves (if he leaves) we will all miss him big time
