ESPN does a whole lot of things wrong.
SportsCenter is the prime example of that.
But even debate shows like First Take have fallen off drastically.

Stephen A. Smith vs Skip Bayless debating LeBron James was at one point appointment television.
Even guys like Pat McAfee.
The minute Pat McAfee goes to ESPN, his show gets a little bit worse.

Pretty much everything at ESPN is at minimum a slightly worse version of what it used to be.
Except for Scott Van Pelt(required disclaimer at Barstool Sports when criticizing ESPN).
I have a feeling I might be the only person who finds this especially funny.
I’m a huge fan.
Whether Cam Newton is right or wrong about whatever he’s talking about doesn’t matter in the slightest.
It’s almost cruel.
It has to be infuriating for Stephen A. Smith.
Because he really has no rebuttal to that.
It’s the #1 thing that Cam Newton can hang his hilarious hat on.
Because Cam Newton actually played the game.
It’s one thing to dominate somebody in a debate and have the entire world know it.
And that you’ll never be able to convince him no matter what.
It’s just not quite as sweet.
Again, I’m projecting a lot of things on both Cam Newton here.
You and Chris Canty will get 2 minutes each.
Then the Rastafiaran Monopoly man will Skype in to tell you how fucking stupid you are."
I hope ESPN strictly uses Cam Newton in that manner.
As a surprise guest to shame analysts.
If you’re reading this ESPN, here’s a free content idea for you.
The taller Cam Newton’s hat is that day, the more fucked you are.
I have no idea how anybody at ESPN actually feels about Cam Newton.
I’d imagine they probably respect him as an analyst.
It makes me laugh every time.
We’re just going to pretend Cam Newton isn’t in full Big Bird costume right now?"
I hope it gets to that point.
Keep pushing the envelope, Cam.
Maybe one day Skype in from a hot air balloon.
Idk that’s just an idea.
Just keep on doing your thing.
You’ve got at least one really big fan in me.
