1st and 10 is a Sports Talk and debate television program spun off from ESPN2's ESPN First Take morning show.

It is both a segment during First Take, a two-hour program broadcast on the American cable television network ESPN2, each weekday at 10:00 AM and noon ET and a standalone program on ESPN at 2:30 PM each afternoon. This concept launched in October 2003 as part of Cold Pizza, which was the predecessor to First Take.

History

The program is hosted by Jay Crawford and features sports columnist Skip Bayless. Woody Paige, another columnist, was a founding co-host, but left the show before the move to Connecticut to return to his writing duties at the Denver Post. Dana Jacobson, First Take co-host, takes over the segments (and the spin-off show) when Crawford is away.

Guest hosts, in place of either Jacobson or Crawford, have included Josh Elliott, Tom Rinaldi, Michelle Bonner, Sage Steele and Bayless himself. (On the show Bayless hosted, the brothers who make up the 2 Live Stews, Doug and Ryan Stewart, were on either side of him.)

On May 7, 2007, the program moved to ESPN's headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut from its previous location in New York City. There have been occasional on-location segments as well.

During the show/segment, Bayless and another panelist discuss and debate ten items of significant sports news daily, with the full program ultimately divided into four segments, termed, as in American football, whence comes also the program's title, downs. Viewer e-mail is often read at the beginning of each segment and incorporated into discussion.

Crawford joined ESPN as co-host of Cold Pizza in 2003 having previously served as director of sports programming at WFTS-TV in Tampa, Florida. Paige, having frequently been a panelist on ESPN's Around the Horn whilst on the staff of the Denver Post, for which he had worked for more than thirty years, left the Post in 2004 to become a full-time employee of ESPN; however, he left the show on November 28, 2006 to return to the Post. Bayless, formerly a columnist for the Dallas Morning News, Miami Herald, and San Jose Mercury News, also left print journalism to join ESPN in 2004.

Since Paige left the show in December 2006 to return to Denver, Colorado, Bayless has been joined by a different guest panelist, whose run on the show has usually lasted for a week. The change affects both the main and spin-off programs. When the move to Bristol was originally announced, Bayless was no longer to be a regular on the show. Instead, he was to be part of a rotating group that will also include Patrick McEnroe, Stephen A. Smith, and Jemele Hill.[1] However, Bayless has continued to be on the show every day since the move (except for vacation periods), and the basic format has not changed.

ESPN plans to cancel this program on August 11, 2008, in favor of part of a daylong live SportsCenter that will air five days a week. However, ESPN First Take is expected to remain on ESPN2 with this segment.

Comparisons to other ESPN talk shows

The show is similar in format to ESPN's other afternoon sports talk programs Jim Rome Is Burning, Around the Horn, and Pardon the Interruption.

What makes this show different from the others is that there are two panelists who talk about topics without any scoring system (as on Horn) or set amount of time given to a topic (PTI). Also, there are no "theme" segments or interviews with athletes and celebrities (several of the other shows), nor do either of the panelists face "elimination" at the end of a segment (also a feature of Horn).
