Tim Tebow always lands on his feet.
That is why no one should ever feel sorry for him when he gets to always live out whatever dream he has. I won’t be shocked if he tries to play in NBA next. I am sure someone is going to give him a shot.
ESPN is going with a little yin and yang with First Take now that Max Kellerman is gone. On Monday, you will get the yellfest with Smith and Irvin, and on Friday, it will be more of a gospel show with Tebow.
In between, it is just the Stephen A. Smith show with a lot of guests.
ESPN’s signature morning debate show, First Take, will unveil its exciting new format beginning Sept. 6. The new format will continue to star Stephen A. Smith – who has been the show’s featured commentator on a permanent basis for almost a decade – and host Molly Qerim Rose – who has commanded the First Take desk since 2015 – alongside a team of marquee guests.
Pro Football Hall of Famer and NFL Network analyst Michael Irvin – who has gone head-to-head with Smith in countless unforgettable moments – will start each week of First Take, beginning Sept. 6 and after every NFL Sunday, joining Smith and Qerim Rose for the full two-hour show on Mondays. He and Smith will debate the week’s key on-the-field moments and under-the-radar stories while also providing fans with insider news and can’t-miss analysis heading into that week’s Monday Night Football matchup and week ahead.
The rest of the week, Smith and Qerim Rose will be joined by ESPN’s industry-leading roster of analysts and insiders across sports, including Paul Finebaum, Keyshawn Johnson, Mina Kimes, Kimberley A. Martin, Monica McNutt, Jessica Mendoza, Chiney Ogwumike, Dan Orlovsky, Kendrick Perkins, Marcus Spears, Brian Windhorst, Damien Woody and many more.
Each week will culminate on Friday with Heisman Trophy Winner and SEC Network analyst Tim Tebow and Smith debating all things college football heading into Saturdays throughout the season. In addition, First Take will also continue to regularly welcome signature celebrity guests from across sports and entertainment to the show.
First Take will also be heading on the road to HBCUs during the College Football Season, so that is great for those schools to get that exposure.
Flip the pages to see Irving and Stephen A. Smith going at it.
Get Ready! It’s a new day…..a new era! And look at who the first casualty is going to be 😀😀😀 pic.twitter.com/uJvXbnceSB
