Fans of the longtime ESPN debate show First Take have known since the show’s inception that former co-host Skip Bayless is an unapologetic fan of the Dallas Cowboys. Bayless’ on-air battles with self-proclaimed Cowboys-hater Stephen A. Smith are legendary.
In June, Bayless left First Take and started a new debate show called Undisputed on FS1 opposite Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe. Since Skip’s exit, First Take has had a distinct anti-Cowboys atmosphere as Smith, new co-host Max Kellerman and mediator Molly Qerim are all unabashed New York Giants fans. In fact, the only saving grace for Cowboys fans on the ESPN debate show has been the regular appearances of Will Cain.
