No one knows how much it warms my heart to see Stephen A trolling the cowboys 🤣🤣🤣

[@stephm2009]

This might be my favourite segment of First Take with Skip and Stephen A. The trolling with Stephen A and the sound of the crowd. It was electric.

[@KadeemG61]

Stephen A.: I’m going to put Shannon Sharpe on speed dial, SKIPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@williambrackin]

Peak First Take. I think Skip has the better situation now with Shannon Sharpe on FS1 but Stephen A has the ESPN/Walt Disney brand to help fuel his current iteration of the show. I want these two guys to reunite one day.

[@yc_030]

How do you feel about this now

[@dannywhite7786]

First Take was absolutely amazing had such a good energy to it with Skip and Stephen A hasn’t been the same

[@TheBrok10]

DEZ CAUGHT IT YOU KNOW IT AND I KNOW IT. IN ALL MY YEARS OF COVERING THE NFL IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THAT… -Skip Bayless probably

Packers caught their karma a week later was so hilarious.

[@JOHNNYCHICAGO8]

Lol yes

[@TheAASAllAroundSports]

Yep I still remember that. I’m a Seahawks fan, that game will always be known as the greatest NFC Championship Game Ever Played. Coming back from 16-0 to win. Then we know what happened weeks later. But Russel still can’t score from the 1 yard line. That was a double burn because that burned me too.

[@TheAmazingHow]

Right on time

[@realjosh9944]

Finally the full length

[@detective___mcnulty]

As a Patriots fan, Dez caught the ball.

[@CenaStingfan4life]

Like Skip Bayless said the crime of the century it truly was Dez caught it!

[@chasetullar2732]

Saints rams NFC championship game no PI call was just as bad.

[@TheJSexton24]

The week before it should’ve been pass interference on cowboys against the lions Dallas shouldn’t of even been playing that week

[@deeverettgreen8785]

This when first take use to be lit 🔥

[@BamJonesTV]

SAS at 3:15 is definitely a mood 😂😂😂

[@kingaustin6985]

Dez Bryant caught that ball and that call told me that the refs historically are god awful and they are god awful because the leagues allow the refs to be God awful without punishing the refs for being god awful.

[@Jalexander14]

The limping entrance kills me 😂

[@dominiquejones3805]

U know it was real when SAS acknowledged that was a catch

[@gerardmclean4606]

Love Stephen A Smith and how many times do the Cowboys get flags when they play the Giants I mean it's ridiculous and I'm sure Stephen A would agree with me and go Steven Keith in New York

[@kingdancekiller]

Even the packers were thinking they were reviewing whether it was a TD or not, NOT for the actual possession of the football.

[@uppertroupe]

I’m 100% certain if it was the other way around skip would be saying that wasn’t a catch

[@devonbrown4894]

The goat trio

[@_Jay_Singh]

That bad call was karma for the week before when they needed bad calls to beat the Lions! (they had the first ever playoff picked up flag on an obvious pass interference and Dez ran on the field with no helmet and didn't get a flag on that same play)

[@ojmosby5755]

Every playoff game had a situation with the packers offside kick, Seahawks not running the ball at the 1 ,pats vs ravens games n I think deflatgate too

[@joeydoherty368]

@@ojmosby5755 Well to be fair deflate gate didn’t impact the game like the other things mentioned. You’re right the Patriots vs Ravens game had the Edelman TD pass which while not controversial was an unusual play that was the turning point of the game.

Gotta love reminiscing on the good ol days of the cowboys being dog💩 too Cowboys fans been crying since 1995 and it's not gonna stop anytime soon

[@quiksix25]

Wasn't a catch, the CB dislodged the ball at the apex so Dez had to re-establish control, which he never did- great play by the CB

[@robertkelly8191]

Are you stupid or trolling? The NFL themselves declared it a catch 😂💀

[@tyreekrobinson3940]

why did they keep showing the same tweet like we didn't read it the first time??

[@pacersnrams781]

Well to be fair it's been like 7 years and peiple act like they still didn't read it. IT WAS NOT A CATCH

[@codyhudson9575]

@@pacersnrams781 was an obvious catch. No doubt about it. Cowboys deserved an opportunity to go get blown out by the Seahawks

[@ss2jesus]

I’m still not over this. 2014 cowboys would’ve beat Seattle & New England

[@austinjackson4690]

Wrong

[@michaelkirschner6009]

The Cowboys won because the refs screwed the Lions with a bogus no pI call and Bryant ran on the field takes his helmet off his helmet and should've been called for a personal foul.

[@davidbailey9073]

I MISS CARRIE. I WISH MOLLY WAS GONE. THIS SHOW WILL NEVA EVA BE THE SAME. 🥴

[@jeffmerola854]

What about the flag that was picked up against the Lions in Wild Card playoff?

[@realdealhoops9427]

That was a catch by Dez Bryant!!!

[@mikewagner9395]

As a cowboy hater, at what point did the ball touch the ground?

[@liljewels15]

Before the he went inside the end zone when dez went down.

[@ericrutherford9225]

8:00 💀 💀 💀

[@MarkSmith-ok1yi]

Everybody knows if that pass had come from Tom Brady it would've been a catch and they wouldn't have bothered to review it.

[@yohanesscunningham7435]

I wish this happened during the undisputed era

[@jayA2454_]

Lions got robbed the week before and Dallas fans were crickets. Karma got them. End of story. Lions win if they get that PI call that was overturned, after being called!

And go New York Knicks Mister Skip Bayless and Keith in New York LOL

I miss these days 😢😅. HTTR4LIFE

[@overthetoppranks]

I was lucky enough to play Dez last week in a couple games of Madden! I made sure to tell him personally that HE CAUGHT IT!!!!

[@johnnymac1210]

Everybody this year in the NFC team that won in the playoffs got screwed the week after. Should’ve been flagged on Dallas vs Detroit, then Dallas got screwed by what was a catch by dez. Green Bay had a big league then choked to Seattle, and lastly Seattle should’ve handed it to marshawn lynch, but ultimately they got picked off to seal their fate

[@chriscollins9298]

[@kalibaking877]

It was a catch 🤷‍♂️

[@chrismathes3647]

I watched it live and as a bobbled. The ball and went to the ground I said that's not a complete catch. I knew the rule then and I know it was the right call now. Figure out a way to win Dallas instead of making excuses.

[@michaelkirschner6009]

The Lions lost because of a bogus no pI call and Dez Bryant ran on the field without his helmet on and wasn't penalized for it.

[@tinopantoja7864]

Ngl that was a catch they hoed Dallas that year I doubt they would’ve won it that year though😂

[@keithsciarra8882]

They went this whole segment without actually showing the fucking replay?

[@rafaelisslaam1894]

Skip is so delusional man, that call didnt lose them the game, even if they score, AR would score right back n win. Packers were just too good.

[@kyleejayde547]

I don’t think Cowboys fans understand that Packers fans wished it was a catch more than them!! It would have given Aaron Rodgers too much time and he would have come back and beat their asses as time expired. Man I wish he caught it!!!

[@joesmith5247]

As wokeity-woke as SA is these days, there’s no denying this was a Jordan/Pippen-esque run for FT

He caught it, was down then rolled in. Absolute minimum it should be a first down at the 1.

Maybe he did catch it But Adams sure did..which made it meaningless

Unfortunately based on the rule Dez was falling down which changes the circumstances of the process. Making it called correctly on the field .

[@coopermarshall7993]

They literally came out and said it was a catch

anyone that knows the rules of profootball clearly knows that was not a caught, once the ball came out his hands as it did the play is over an incomplete pass!!! skip does not want to understand the rules so he sit there and acts a clown. Actually a cry baby!!!
