I’ve said this before but First Things First is one of the best sports television shows in a decade, if not more.
It is truly, truly funny. The banter between all of those guys is entertaining, and each of the hosts plays a specific part in the show.
Alexander Hernandez admits it's disappointing that genuine interactions with fans have been reduced to shallow talk about parlays:
“The saddest thing in the world is you get done with a fight, you're in the airport, and no one just comes up to you to say they're a fan or ‘great work.’ They say, ‘You hit my parlay,’ or, ‘Man, we cashed out.’
It's the saddest demise of just sports enthusiasts and the interaction of fan and athlete. The whole makeup of it is just getting sadder and sadder.”
