First Take Live Blog December 17, 2014

11:58 Brian Cashman: I can't expect [A-Rod] to be anything.

11:50 Stephen A.: I would be far more worried were it Wiggins (like if it were LeBron), but because he's a good shooter like Melo, he'll be fine.

11:47 Topic 8: How will Jabari's injury affect his future?

11:42 Stephen A.: Woody Johnson has been a bane in the existence of the New York market for years.

11:40 Stephen A.: The Cowboys are an accident waiting to happen, and the Jets are an accident that has already happened.

11:37 Topic 7: Did Woody Johnson accidentally favorite the tweet saying he should fire John Idzik?

11:30 Skip says Durant needs to learn to step back and play behind Westbrook.

11:27 Skip is reserving judgment due to their upcoming tough schedule. If you force him in this moment to say right now, he says OKC are the best team in the West.

11:24 Topic 6: OKC 9-1 in last 10 games but not in the playoff standings yet

11:23 First take on the road at Dallas January 5-13 (doors open 7:30 AM CT)

11:13 Stephen A.: The Cowboys are an accident waiting to happen, and the fact that this DeMarco Murray issue is an issue at all, and that they're talking about it almost as a preemptive excuse for a potential loss, shows that they are too scared!

11:08 The Colts have only won two games against teams over .500, and so they will lose to the Cowboys.

11:05 Topic 5: How will Murray's injury affect his game?
Murray says he talked to Emmitt Smith about it.

10:59 Skip says when he's rooting against Peyton he wants him to be throwing the ball less not more!

10:54 Stephen A.: C.J. Anderson has been bad the past two games (less than 3 yards per carry). Unless something's wrong with Peyton, they wouldn't be running the ball this much.

10:52 Jeff Saturday says he thinks Peyton Manning is old and getting sick, but the building of the run game with C.J. Anderson is good for a potential AFC Championship rematch at New England.

10:50 Topic 4: What has happened to Peyton Manning? In the last 3 games, he has thrown for under 20 completions, only the 2nd time in his career for three straight games.

10:42 Skip says when Steph Curry's 3 is not going, they're going to lose, and so it's not a "exposed".
Nick Young: "I knew it was cash money."

10:39 Z-Bo will just lean on you for no reason, and it wears on you by the 4th quarter. Other teams can't do this. Only Spurs and MEM can beat Warriors under these current strategies of the "exposed"

10:38 MEM: 20-0 run to open 2nd quarter (Curry on bench)

10:37 "I thought I was your partner in crime."
"When it come to the NBA!"

10:36 Stephen A. is calling Andrew Bogut bogus, and says Bogut called him a wonker, and says he has been on a New Zealand radio show frequently.

10:34 Avery Johnson says yes, Tim Legler says that unless the personnel like Z-Bo is available for a Warrior opponent, the Warriors weren't exposed last night.

10:33 Topic 3: Did the Warriors get exposed last night?

Wow, that was a long A Block.

10:26 Wow, why is Skip making fun of Stephen A.'s accent?

10:25 After this draft, the Redskins have to decide whether to pick up the option on RGIII's contract after 2015 for $18,000,000.

10:23 Cari: I don't think Jay is equal opportunity blamer. There is something extremely dismissive when he talks about RGIII.
Stephen A.: I don't get that vibe, Cari. He's dismissive to everybody.

10:23 Stephen A.: "What is there for YOU to talk about off of a 3-13 season!"

10:22 Who are you doing favors by signing off social media with two weeks left!

10:21 Jon Gruden signed through 2021!

10:20 I agree with Stephen A. that Jay is not being prejudiced against RGIII on purpose. Jay admitted Colt stunk up the joint against Indianapolis.

10:16 Skip thinks RGIII is doing this to concede to Jay Gruden. He also thinks that when the sack went down with 1:24 left this past game, Jay Gruden should have called a timeout and was disrespecting RGIII.

10:15 RGIII is leaving social media.

10:11 Stephen A.: When Washington State battered Mariota and that's why they lost to Arizona, that's going to happen to Mariota everyday in the NFL.

10:09 Skip keeps correcting Stephen A.'s pronunciation of "Mario"-ta.

10:08 "He's got the Floyd Mayweather record."

10:08 The clutch factor does exist.

10:07 Marcus Mariota: 2-3 in games decided by less than 7 points
Jameis: undefeated

10:07 I agree with Skip that Oregon's being a 9-point favorite over Florida State is too much.

10:04 Stephen A. would take Jameis over Mariota
