Skip’s Tebow era was one of the funniest times on ESPN I’ve ever seen🤣🤣🤣

[@supaxjefe7486]

Absolutely, so many classic moments

[@RecapRico]

When Tebow beat the Steelers in the playoffs😂😂

[@robbie192]

Funniest in how wrong he was

[@Sabiru2001]

Fox Sports imo want to collapse ESPN lol. Marcellus , Skip, Shannon Sharpe, Emanuel Acho.. and more

[@lifeofbrandon_]

That’s why they gave Stephen a that huge deal.

If SAS leaves...they are DONE!

Fox Sports Network VS. ESPN is equivalent to the Monday Night Wars of WWF VS. WCW!!!

SAS used to manhandle Skip, these clips of them together aged beautifully 😂😂😂😂

pls bring Jay Crawford back as the moderator 🙏🏽

How Skip defended Tim Tebow back then is how he's defending Baker Mayfield right now.

Well to be fair, Baker did have a pretty decent year this year

Can they upload the video of Stephen a Smith ranting on Jamarcus Russell

[@genegu888]

this was peak take. good times.

[@Noisy_Cricket]

Stephen A. really articulated what was so annoying about everyone talking about Tebow at the time.

[@lawrencegraves6265]

It's still shameful that Skip said he would rather have Tebow as a QB than Bron as your SF.

[@edon8531]

skip and shannon are awesome but the chemistry skip and stephen a had with Jay as the host will be forever unmatched

[@gccyet]

To truth

[@mr_dankbudz_2069]

If I can’t sleep at night i don’t take NyQuil… I turn on First take with Stephen A and Max Kellerman… Then I fall asleep instantly 💤 🥱

[@sixxstarz4646]

if skip told stephen a to shut up, al sharpton would show up the next day with pitchforks and a mob at espn studios

[@curiouslymavismade]

The only reason they put Skip on the show is to make sure the career benchwarmers have a voice.

[@jason615lakers]

Skip overrating tebow made tebow fall off😂

[@Spill_ent]

How long did Tim Tebow stay in the league😆😆😆 why did everybody think he was good🤔

[@goochfitness26]

He was in the league for about 3-4 years I think.he would still be in the league possibly if he just switched positions

[@ARRT-15]

No Molly…🎉ahhh yes

[@Taj-ex2oo]

Once I seen Tebow was a first round pick, and Lamar Jackson was the last QB drafted on the first round of his draft, I understood how powerful perception and media narratives are, Tebow couldn’t even throw a spiral 😂😂

[@BHTSGOHARD]

I’m telling you right now if Mark Sanchez were to be in this years Draft he would have a bigger following than Tim Tebow would ever dream of with the Mexican Fan base and support 🔥👍🏾

[@detective___mcnulty]

Hey, he beat the Steelers. Not bad.
