ESPN show getting destroyed for running ridiculous Arch Manning segment
While we may be in the middle of the slowest time of the football calendar with talking points at a low point, that being said, some topics truly aren’t worth discussing.
Credit “First Take” for the most ridiculous segment of the year as the ESPN program recently discussed Arch Manning’s legacy within the Manning family.
Keep in mind, Arch recently completed his sophomore season at Isidore Newman and is 16 years old and several seasons away from even enrolling in college.
This topic is beyond premature:
Ummm, this topic may be premature. Just maybe. pic.twitter.com/n7AUBw1EGH

Following Marchand’s tweet, social media could not wait to rip into this show topic.

Will Arch’s unborn son in 15 years become the greatest Manning yet? https://t.co/KFlpZ0EXjC

Dayside sports programming in a nutshell, and in this case arguing about a high school rising junior where the answer to the question, if at all potentially yes, won't be known for literally 20 years. https://t.co/7HLLZ4d8Do

I guess you can’t be called “First Take” without getting way ahead of everyone on everything.
There is no way this kid is going to be able to live up to the expectations that people are putting on him. I wish I could stay around and see but IF he makes the NFL, I will probably be dead.
I will probably be dead before he can even be considered for the HoF.
Hang in there. We need posters like you.
LOL thanks. But I am 61 already and have had stage 4 cancer, so the odds are very great that I won’t live the at least 20 years for him to be voted in to the HoF.
Refuse to watch any program with Steven A Smith. Anyone besides me think they know what the A stands for?
steven a smith is a racist sjw who loves to hear himself scream. I haven’t watched him of the sjw network he works for in years except when they’re airing an sec football game I want to watch.
Probably Clemson bound so he will only have to torch the SEC 2x per year.
ivan…I can see him going to Texas(if Sark can actually beat Oklahoma and keep the boosters away). Concerning the SEC, which is where I think he’ll end up…but not at Tennessee nor Mississippi. He has a lot of time to decide and the college football landscape can change quickly.
Clemp-son bound ? Sorry no way. Plus Clemp-son has not been torching SEC teams much lately. Ohio State made em look like a high school team in 2020.
Haven’t you got a riot to attend?
She just got back from D.C. Had to take the long way home to evade arrest.
Hmmmmm…..so this article concluded that “some topics truly aren’t worth discussing” but then highlights the very topic it claimed should not be discussed. Nice job.
Not sure which zoomer wrote this article, but Arch’s two (2) remaining seasons of high school football are not quite “several” as the author wrote.
I haven’t seen the segment so I can’t comment on anything said. But I don’t necessarily agree with the idea that it’s bad taste or premature to talk about his potential as a football player. Since the day he was born he’s had unlimited access to anything he could ever need to learn the game of football. Now he’s dominating on the field as a 16 year old in high school…why wouldn’t this story catch the media’s attention? Everyone who is interested in the sport of football is interested in this kid. SDS has tons of articles about him, wondering where he’ll go to college, but then has the audacity to post an article criticizing the media for talking about him.
It is the prematurity in comparing him to 2 HoF QBs when the kid has not even started his junior year in high school, much less a competitive college program.
ESPN = Bad Joke
I’m surprised Stephen A didn’t start trashing him for being white and calling out all of the schools for recruiting white QBs.
