However, it became clear that First Take was an obvious landing spot. Ultimately, many felt like Shannon could pair nicely with Stephen A. They are both huge personalities and they would combine for some truly incredible television. Thankfully, ESPN gave Shannon the bag, and neither party has looked back.
Today was a special day for Stephen A. and Shannon as it marked the first day of their new partnership.
