I love Cam but his addition isn't going to get me to watch Hot Take.

Kind of like most politicians, I don’t particularly care to hear what Cam has to say. He’s a good dude that means well, but man, he’s almost 55 now, he’s gotta check that ego at the door. Gonna break a hip if he gets too heated.

I'm the same age as Cam.

 

He won't be 55 for another 20 years.

 

Old guys always hating on the youngsters smh.

Yeah Cam is younger than our current starting QB. That’s pretty crazy really. I hate how we shorted his career. He should still be our QB at 35 years old…

We were screwed out of Cam and Luke. You talking about the best offensive player and best defensive player at one point in their careers. That's crazy the kind of talent we had, yet we never got to see them finish out their careers healthy.

I find this stuff entertaining as long as you don’t take it too seriously. It’s barbershop talk and jokes.

That said I don’t think Cam is a good fit for the same reason him and Shannon wouldn’t have worked. Cam is always The Main Character. Amusing but even when it’s just him interviewing someone he has a hard time taking a backseat to his guest. A debate format where has to play off of others and can’t always be the center of attention is not going to be easy for him.

Cool for Cam. I probably still wont watch, though. 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I’ll check it out once and see f I can get thru the show. Love Cam.

I watched a few of Cams shows on YouTube and have been pleasantly surprised at the quality. I never saw Cam as someone that would have a post football career in media but it makes complete sense that he would thrive in that space. I will never watch First Take/ESPN either way but I am happy for his success.

I’m 32.

so yeah, OLD GUY. 
 

I listen to some of what Cam talks about but he just reminds me of a lot of people I’ve known over the years who are full of poo. I liked Cam as a player and a person, and still do, but his opinions do not carry a lot of weight to me.

So why did you call him 55?

 

If you think 35 is old in life then you have it all wrong. Hell I go to a gym with people who are in their 60's and still going hard. 

 

Settle down young man.

Not nearly enough for me to tune into ESPN, besides the random background noise game, its been around 15 years since I leftd. Basically once they stopped having espn news and skip started with argument sports. I checked out.

Now it’s even more unwatchable which I didn’t think was possible

Trash TV unfortunately 

[CRA]

First Take played decent role in ruining sports talk.  It’s trash.  

Stephen A recently compared himself to Dak when talking about his next contract.  Which sort of highlights the key issue there.  The mindset of sports talk now is the host is the draw….when it should be the talk/guest and their ability to make them/that noteworthy.   

half the time it’s evident dudes like Stephan A don’t even do basic research and know what is going on….its just about being loud and being a character
