I'm glad to know she is back.
Also yesterdays show was much better. I actually enjoyed Keyshawn and Acho.
They were calm, not talking over each other and made good comments.
Yea I think the show will get better as time goes on. They had to work the kinks out and figure everyone personality out.

I disagree. I like Josina (Go Tar Heels!) and much prefer her over Jemelle Hill or Kimberly Martin.
Good to see her back on TV.

Yeah Josina is an OG and well connected in NFL circles. She did go to UNC. My homegirl was her roommate at Carolina.

Stop the fight.

In the battle of Stephen A. Smith's First Take against Skip Bayless's revamped (and much-hyped) Undisputed, it's a ratings TKO.

Via Michael McCarthy of FrontOfficeSports.com, First Take trounced Undisputed in viewership over the first three days of Bayless 2.0.

On Monday, First Take drew 448,000 viewers to 131,000 for Undisputed. On Tuesday, the gap shifted to 474,000 vs. 120,000. By Wednesday, Undisputedhad plummeted to 78,000 against 423,000 for First Take.

The margin comes despite the fact that, as of August 1, FS1 is in more homes than ESPN.

This week, Undisputed returned from an extended break following the involuntary departure of Shannon Sharpe, who debuts on First Take next week. On Monday and Tuesday, Bayless was joined by Michael Irvin, Richard Sherman, and Keyshawn Johnson for a rollicking and at times unruly discussion that featured the panelists at times talking over each other — and at times freezing Bayless out of the conversation.

They have to give it more time to grow, the first 2 shows were a cluster fuck.
You can look at Greenies show Get Up to see what can happen if you give a show time.

I don't think Undisputed has ever come close to beating First Take consistently in the ratings.

Agreed. That's a typical misinformed Yahoo article.
Undisputed has always been a distant second to First Take in the ratings.
A new lineup was not going to change that.

The tweet says "dwindling" but neither the excerpt nor the tweet give the context of previous ratings. I'm curious about the trajectory.
