The NFL greats talked about being partnered before the concept became mainstream
Could you ever Imagine a sports show built around Boomer Esiason versus Deion Sanders? While such a concept never came to fruition, and likely never will, the idea certainly sparks intrigue. The topic emerged from a conversation between Esiason and his WFAN co-host Gregg Giannotti. They were discussing Stephen A. Smith’s contract negotiations with ESPN when Esiason recalled a proposal from earlier in his media career.
Esiason revealed that a producer once pitched a show idea to him, which he then presented to Deion Sanders during their time together at CBS. The concept, intriguingly titled “In Black and White,” was rooted in the contrasting perspectives and backgrounds of Esiason and Sanders. This divergence of viewpoints is what has historically fueled the success of shows like First Take, particularly during the Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless era.
In the sports media landscape, successful debate shows thrive on the chemistry and dynamic between the hosts. The combination of Esiason and Sanders, with their history of spirited debates and contrasting viewpoints, could have created a unique viewing experience. Their differing backgrounds and opinions would have provided a rich source of content, with each episode likely featuring passionate exchanges on various sports topics.
While the show with Esiason and Sanders never materialized, the concept remains an intriguing “what if” in the realm of sports media. Their on-air chemistry and history of disagreements suggest that, had circumstances been different, they might have created a memorable and potentially iconic show.
