Burgundy LaRue Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 When they book comedians for Mike & Mike it is the absolute worst. They go so over-the-top with their laughter to make it seem like it is the most hysterical thing of all time. The strange thing about the LeBron/Freeman bit is that when James' essay was released, people were saying what a great, inspirational speech it was. And now these same people are laughing at it. The bit wasn't that funny and I felt kind of embarrassed for Mike & Mike laughing so hard at it. I heard a bit of it, and thought Caliendo's Freeman voice was way off. Not nearly enough baritone. ESPN and comedy needs to die a quick death. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 If we start talking about how awful Mike & Mike can be, this thread is gonna grow fast. There is a sports talk radio thread for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Sam Ponder tries to make a point and gets predictably flamed for it, stephen A smith drops the "she was asking for it" card on First and Pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Yeah and Michelle Beadle is definitely not happy with it: I'm thinking about wearing a miniskirt this weekend...I'd hate to think what I'd be asking for by doing so @stephenasmith. #dontprovoke From her twitter You know it is getting bad when even network people are talking shit about First Take.

odessasteps Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Were there domestic violence issues when she was dating Barnaby? I know he had at least one DUI. I seem to recall some incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 It takes a lot of effort to make Skip Bayless look like the sane half of the First Take crew. But, by God, Stephen A. Smith is doing just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 SAS is trying his damnest to dig his way out by digging deeper. It's glorious. Michelle Beadle @MichelleDBeadle · 36m In a week in which LGBT & domestic abuse issues have been primarily discussed in one-sided formats, I stand by my words. #communicatebetter Good for you Michelle. (Btw, she's retweeting some of the more awful things being said to her.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait... What the fuck is the "other side" of the domestic violence discussion? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 If SAS had noted Janay Palmer staying with and marrying Ray Rice after the attack and led a discussion on the continuous cycle of domestic abuse, he could have had a positive impact. By asking what a woman could do to prevent abuse, SAS missed the entire point and went directly to victim blaming/shaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 And SAS goes on twitter and starts a tweet by basically saying 'I don't get how people misunderstand my point' equal to the 'I didn't intended to insult anyone by saying...' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait... What the fuck is the "other side" of the domestic violence discussion? "She was asking for it." "She wouldn't listen." "She hit me with a frying pan." "Look how she dressed." Oh wait, that's why women get sexually assaulted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Oh, Fowler, you sad idealistic hooplhead. Once we let it go that there's an "other side of things" to basic science, then it's that much easier to "other side" any issue of morality or human rights or anything really.

Trust me people can put a cape on for damn near anything. People get fired all the time for minor shit, but people are putting a cape on for Anthony Cumia being fired for going on a public racist rant. People will go get their guns to defend damn near anything, and the worst it is the more they want to fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 This is all some stupid bullshit about the RIGHTS OF FREE SPEECH giving people license to say utterly ridiculous things, right? Fuck, it's not like I want one, but it's not hard to see how some people have fallen into the trap of supporting police states in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Screamin' A tried SO HARD to keep his misogyny in check, but it "popped up like a pimple on prom night" Jerry Lawler. I don't know if it's even misogyny at this point. That attitude is entrenched deeply into the psyches of many. The majority think this stance is the norm. It's more of an indictment on society than SAS (who richly deserves to be chastised for his caveman mentality). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Beadle's mistake in all this was watching First Take. Its a sad and unfortunate mistake many of us have done over the years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Well, having been in the old PTI bullpen, all the espn channels were on the wall. It might not be an option, esp when there are no games on at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 One of Beadles tweets implied that she was either made to watch it or happened to watch it. So my guess is someone said Michelle did you see what SAS said on first take and it went from there...I don't see Beadle as the type to wake up at 6am to watch ESPN shows.

Doesnt she work on Sportsnation again now? If so, they prob were in the office and it was on the tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm glad that she's going off on this but ESPN isn't usually too fond of this kind of thing unless it's I guess Bill Simmons who they are seemingly afraid of now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
