Can we get some updates on these figures? Nothing has been tracked since Oct of 24. The numbers were terrible for months prior, then randomly one day they enter not great stats by any account but great when comparing to Speaks usual numbers. I just want to know why ratings clearly do not matter. This network is paying for what? What do their "talent" bring to the table? What resonates with people? I see Joy on social every single weekend, in a new city, new country at cochella or some huge event. Why is she there? How did she afford it? FS1 is really paying her that much for her to fly private everywhere? What does she do? Post cringe content with her takes or post photos half naked then condemning people for commenting and gawking?! She is objectively bad at her job, she does not understand football, she reads stats and makes a stance on the stats she reads. She has a favorite team the Steelers she also has another favorite team the Dolphins. How? Why? That makes no sense. I sure a ton of people cheer for the Bears and the Cowboys. Or the Red Sox and the Rangers. With numbers so low, with literally 0 talent she is making more than 99% of people...why? And I haven't even commented on her scandals and issues shes facing off screen. Sheeeesh, with just those allegations and law suits you'd think a company with half a brain would move on to save face. Not FS1 not Joy, even when she said she would sue her own employer and make up whatever story she had to, to get what she wanted, yeah let's keep paying her....
Dump Joy. You're ratings will go up if you get another former football player in her place.
Here I go again. I try desperately to like this show as I always thought Joy was a great fit with Colin and wished her the best on her new endeavor. But I just can't take it anymore. First is the one good thing I have to say: these are the best dressed people on sports' talk TV, just immaculate. But that's about it. Maybe James Jones who seems to be the only one not freaking out and he tries to make some common sense out of things but, good Lord, can that man please stop butchering the English language. How do you get through college without an elementary grasp of the English language? Stop saying "ain't" and stop using double negatives and please start saying "run" instead of "ran." But I digress. Why and who decided over the last two weeks to turn Joy into Miss Karen white folk with her natural hair instead of her beautiful braids and Afro-centric styles. Now she is plain Jane and it's a huge mistake. Also, just a couple weeks ago after the Kentucky Derby and a great weekend of playoff basketball guess what they lead with---20 minutes on Dak Prescott!!!!! Good God, please stop, please stop. He's never won anything. Jordan Love took him and all of Dallas to the woodshed and will continue to do so for the nest decade or so. And then today more Dak---who cares outside of Dallas?! They are not "America's Team." That's always been the Packers. Acho tries to reign in McCoy but usually fails. Shady keeps blustering on and shouting and ranting about things that make no sense and talks over everyone and then they all start shouting and you cannot understand a word anyone is saying. Literally, you cannot understand what any of them are saying. What a sorry mess. No mystery why the ratings are tanking. Does anyone out there agree with me and, if not, why? Bring back the real Joy. STFU Shady. Peace out.
Speak opens up with bold promises everytime ("I guarantee you this is the best show you'll see today"...etc) and always falls flat 5 minutes in.
The show is exactly as one of the ads for the show indicates..............more focus on the wardrobes of the cast than on insightful commentary. .Attempts at analysis are hallow and self-absorbed.
If you put it on mute and focus your eyes a little below joy Taylor’s face it’s one of the best shows on television, if you watch it the regular way you’ll develop a brain tumor.
Used to like it now hate it. Why don't they just rename the show "The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles Show" because that is all they ever talk about. So boring and everyone shouting like they wanna be Stephen A. Smith. So sick of Dak and Cowboys and Hurts and Eagles. For the love of God please diversify your topics.
Get shady off the show.
Where is the football analysis???? Speak absolutely boring to watch!!! Full of emotional bias, Opinions, Shock jock tv. Who decided It was a good idea to give shady McCoy TV time? (sigh) His low budget, Ghetto antics lessens the value of the analysis of the show. This show should be disbanned. Joy "The cleavage" taylor.... Where do I begin.. (Emotional damage) Acho.... Word soup..Mr. 5,000 words Sounds like a former incarcerated Prisoner who studied the "dictionary"! This is a D cast of average at best football players, And I wanna be Barbie.. Can't watch, not going to watch. Sorry!!!!
