There goes the only prominent Spurs supporter on ESPN. Now we'll never get any Spurs coverage.

Huge blow to ESPN. Doubt the spurs ever get talked about on ESPN ever again as well.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Oh there's a thread already. My bad.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

One of the greatest TV personalities in history.

Crazy, and i heard Mike Tirico is leaving as well to join NBC

[GSH]

ESPN should stick to broadcasting sports. Their commentary is , their commentators are , and if I wanted to have political pushed at me I'd turn on C-Span.

Bayless was one of their few bright spots. I don't know if I can avoid them more than I already do, but I'll sure try.

Spurfans and their persecution complex. Skip was never a Spurs fan. He was an ESPN character.

I love watching his brother's show. It's been a part of my Saturday morning PBS routine for last 5 years.

[SquawkinHawkBigCock]

Skip was stupid., but entertaining


Who is gonna watch First Take now?

ESPN = Fkced

[.G.]

As well as my Ming Tsai, Big Lidia Bastianich, dat Jacque Pepín and some Cook's reh for lulz

I love Saturday mornings.

I cannot comprehend how human citizens sat and listened to this guy and Stephen A for an hour a day.

It's like attending a session with d people of the sanatorium from the movie Cuckos nest. Basically its like digesting diarreah on a daily basis.

Is he coming to Spurstalk?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Is he coming to Spurstalk?

I'm already here

[mingus]

Eh he's probably just having his publicists put this out there as leverage for a better contract.

I knew it!!!

[Arcadian]

Damn. I always assumed he would keep doing this until he was super old. I don't love him, but it was kinda cool to see a "talking head" on ESPN actually support the Spurs for a change...

Will they keep doing First Take? Who will replace him?

[$pursDynasty]

We still have Beadle

[davidbowie]

its always so embarrassing when i see him defend us

glad i dont have to hear that anymore

[J_Paco]

Exactly, plus he annually waffles on the team and his "support" of them.

He only "roots" for the Spurs to be a contrarian, not because of any true admiration or love of them.

It'll be interesting to see what talking head replaces him on First Take, though.

Not surprised, your posts are as ty as first take.

This.

Anytime I hearing those two talk is headache inducing. Some of the dumbest takes I can ever hear is from those two.

Now if they could just rid themselves of Stephen A. Smith

Meh, DVR and watch the topics that intereet you. Takes like 15 mins usually

This is all about Skip moving on and taking more $$ to Fox Sports..

Skip don't need ESPN just like Cohwherd and Simmons
