  Hour 1: How Bad is this Loss for the Steelers?

  Oct 2, 202649 min

  First Take begins as Stephen A. sounds off on the Steelers after last night's poor performance. A loss to the Browns with some Rodgers controversy does not make for a good Thursday Night recipe. What's going on in Pittsburgh? Next the Eagles take on the Rams in a matchup that was supposed to be between two of the NFC's elite teams. Is this still the case? Who needs the win more? Then despite injuries piling up early yet again for San Fran, they are still 3-0. Brock Purdy has played some of the best football of his career so far. Is he the MVP?

  Hour 1: Should Cam Schlittler Be Anointed Mayor of Boston Immediately?

  Sep 30, 202646 min

  First Take begins with Schlittler's dominance! He owns the Red Sox statistically more than any pitcher has ever owned another professional team!

Next, Drake Maye panic button alert! Drake Maybe (thanks Skip) has lost his MVP ways of last season. He can't complete a deep pass, refuses to run, and looks like a shell of his former self!
