Fox Sports' attempts to emulate ESPN's "embrace debate" format, symbolized by Bristol's ratings winners "First Take" and "Pardon the Interruption", is in the capable hands of Colin Cowherd and Jason Whitlock. As the hosts of Speak for Yourself with Cowherd and Whitlock, the polarizing personalities steer the weeknight show by presenting uniquely differing sports viewpoints. Friends and colleagues for several years, the always outspoken duo covers the biggest news and headlines each day, while additional segments include one-on-one interviews with guest athletes or newsmakers. Multimedia journalist Jason McIntyre, the creator and editor-in-chief of sports media blog The Big Lead, is a contributor on the show.
