We don’t know how much fun FS1, Colin Cowherd, Jason Whitlock and Jason McIntyre are having with their new show Speak For Yourself during its initial launch. (Recent reports of poor early ratings aren’t likely to improve any moods.)

But at least someone is having fun with FS1’s newest addition to the sports debate show landscape. Namely, FS1 colleagues and hosts of Fox Sports Live, Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole. If one of the complaints is that Speak For Yourself doesn’t seem much different from the other debate shows already on TV, Onrait and O’Toole have an idea that could make FS1’s new show stand out. If you’re willing to look, that is.

Everyone’s looking good, guys! All of that hard prep work before Speak For Yourself debuted is clearly paying off.

Maybe this isn’t the first question that should have come to mind after watching that promo, but can Cowherd and Whitlock truly be debating naked if Big Sexy insists on keeping the fedora on? I mean, I get it. Leave something to the imagination. Don’t give the people absolutely everything. Save a little taste. But there’s something to be said for showing some commitment and going all in, right?

Whitlock certainly took the poke from his colleagues in good spirit. Especially when he was made to look so good on screen.

This isn’t the only upgrade Whitlock has received recently. He also got the action hero treatment in this animated promo depicting him and Cowherd as SWAT officers possibly thwarting a bank robbery.

Very dapper. Who knew bulletproof vests could be such a nice accessory to a finely tailored suit? Probably slimming, as well! Hopefully, a live-action adaptation of that promo is forthcoming. Especially if Cowherd and Whitlock can emulate the expressions of their animated incarnations. Maybe Onrait and O’Toole can develop it.
