TL;DR Summary

Stephen A. Smith has added former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee to the "First Take" rotation, joining Smith, Shannon Sharpe, and Molly Qerim every Tuesday. This move comes as a response to Smith's TV competition with his former mentor Skip Bayless, who recently revamped his show "Undisputed Live" on FS1. With Sharpe joining "First Take," the show's ratings have skyrocketed, averaging 754,000 viewers for Sharpe's debut. McAfee's eponymous show on ESPN will now anchor a powerful daytime window alongside "Get Up" and "First Take."
