Chris “Mad Dog” Russo has been one of the most polarizing analysts since he started appearing regularly on ESPN’s “First Take.” You either love or hate him, but he may have taken it too far when discussing Lamar Jackson.
During Wednesday’s “First Take,” the crew, which included Russo, Stephen A. Smith, Kimberly Martin, and Molly Qerim, discussed who was better between Jackson and Josh Allen.
Things were getting heated. Russo was adamant about choosing Allen over Jackson, and Martin took Jackson’s side.
It reached a boiling point when Russo said, “You can take those two MVPs, and you can put them where the sun don’t shine.”
Qerim and Martin were not pleased with the comment. They tried to get him not to say it, while Smith was seen smiling and laughing along.

Of course, there will be pushback when you disrespect someone like Jackson, who has already done so much in their relatively short time in the league.
Many on social media had no problem drilling into Russo.
This is highly disrespectful and unprofessional. ESPN and SA allow this shit to happen because it gets them clicks. Don’t ever say SA is on our side, he play both sides to appease to the audience and for his bosses. Fuck both of these dudes tbh!!! https://t.co/FeYmixJP4D

However, whether or not you think Jackson is a great quarterback in the league likely depends on what you value.
He certainly has a lot of individual success, but he’s only won two playoff games in his six full years. Russo has a point but likely should have worded it differently in that aspect.
Chris Russo Called Out Tony Romo For His Mistake During Bills-Chiefs Game
Romo was in the booth for the Bill-CHiefs matchup when he had a major blunder.
“This is the game-changer. … Great job by Brandon Beane in the offseason, to go out and get a No. 1 player,” Romo said of Amari Cooper.
However, the Bills did not get him in the offseason; they traded for him during the season, and the mistake got Russo fuming.

A photo of a female hockey fan who was busting out of her jeans at a Leafs-Devils game in early 2024 has gone viral online again.
Said supporter was pictured in the stands wearing a Devils Jack Hughes jersey, but that was probably the least interesting thing about her as a lower body part caused her to trend on X.
A new set of photos of her showing her assets off has popped up online ahead of the weekend, with one of the accounts posting asking, “Are you a hockey fan?”
