Customer Reviews
Awesome show
The show is awesome! Can we please make Shannon Sharp an everyday host it’s amazing having him on the show!
The best show on tv
First take is the best show on TV period. It’s entertaining, informative and fun. They talk about serious subjects. Strong opinion about sports.
Host hammers you with her political views
I used to love this show. But it went too political/woke. I’m into politics but I have other sources for that. I just wanna escape a bit and listen to SPORTS talk. Also Molly might be worst ever. She hammers everyone with her views. And gets upset with cohosts if they don’t follow her political/social agenda. She can’t take a joke. She’s to uptight. She needs to relax. It’s a SPORTS show!
