It was announced Tuesday that FS1 is canceling “Speak” with Joy Taylor, Paul Pierce and Keyshawn Johnson. The network is also canning “The Facility” with Emmanuel Acho and LeSean McCoy. That show replaced “Undisputed” after Skip Bayless left FS1 behind.
FS1 wasn’t done hitting the eject button on its top shows. “Breakfast Ball” with Craig Carton has also been canceled ahead of the 2025 NFL season.
While FS1 viewers are OK with these changes, they believe a few more cuts should be made this summer. To be more specific, they want Jason McIntyre removed from “The Herd.”
McIntyre is getting crushed for making this comment about the Los Angeles Lakers this week: “You can just go ahead and get the parade ready for the Lakers if they get Bradley Beal.”

“This is a fireable thing to say,” one fan said.

“FS1 better make sure he’s in the next round of cuts,” a second fan wrote.
“The day ‘The Herd’ gets packed up is a day I’m throwing a block party,” another fan commented.
“How is he still at FS1. He’s so wrong all the time it’s baffling,” a social media user commented.
“Every few weeks this guy Jason McIntyre shows up on my timeline… And every time it just gets worse and worse,” another person said.
McIntyre, the founder of “The Big Lead,” joined Fox Sports in 2015. He eventually received his big break on “The Herd.”
Over the past few years, McIntyre has unleashed plenty of hot takes. Just a few months ago, he predicted that the Kansas City Chiefs will miss the playoffs this upcoming season.

“You look at the last three years, Kansas City has played 10 playoff games. That’s more than half another season,” McIntyre said. “We see this in the NBA all the time. When you make a run to the finals two, three years in a row, that following year, you’re drained. The bodies are breaking down, the players are wearing down. And it’s very, very difficult to keep that sustainability going. I’m making the call here. It’s mid-April before the draft. I don’t think the Kansas City Chiefs are a playoff team next year.”
As of now, McIntyre’s job at FS1 is pretty sure despite all the criticism on social media.
