ESPN’s First Take “Cover Two” segment should be called “Covering Two Teams”

Now, I like most people in America are huge NFL fans. I can’t wait to see the touchdowns, scream at referrers for making the right call. In short, I can’t wait for the NFL season to start.

In fact it’s only 108 days away until the eagles began their chance at winning the Lombardi Trophy for the first time ever.

That’s why I applaud First Take for having a daily segment called Cover Two (Yes named after the Defense)

However it’s fairly predictable based off which sports reporter is on that day.

For example if Chareen Williams is on then the issues they talk about will be the Dallas Cowboys.

Jim trotter’s = San Diego Chargers are whatever Phillip Rivers ate for breakfast.

Steve Whcye is a lock to discuss how the Atlanta falcons are coping without Mike Vick.

And when Rick Stroud is on he’s going to talk about the Tampa bay buccaneers and their quarterback situation.

The only time you actually do get real NFL news from AROUND the league as they say they do is if Bob Glaubber or Dan Pompei come on which once a month!

Although First Take is slowly turning Glaubber into a JETS beat writer with his segments.

So, I ask, if not beg you First Take the only use proper NFL insiders for the cover two segment because the real NFL fans want know what’s going on around the league not what’s going on in Oakland, Tamps, Atlanta and Dallas or else the NFL Network will.
