Stephen A. & Mad Dog get heated debating Aaron Judge vs. Barry Bonds | First Take 

It was so funny listening to SAS’s monologue and then just outta nowhere “HE CHEATED!!!”

Bruh the way Maddog said “IT EXPANDED!” Has me in tears😂😂😂😂

It warms my heart to see a heated baseball discussion.

“I SAW HIS HEAD, It Expanded!!!!” Mad Dog Got Me Crying Right Now LMAO

Only Mad Dog can out yell Stephen A

Mad Dog sounds like the late Gilbert Gottfried with extra sugar rush. 😆

The look on Molly's face, when Maddog's rant started, is funny. 😆😆😆

We're ignoring the fact that Bonds was intentionally treated at the plate with such a level of fear, the amount of times he was walked and the type of pitches they threw him.

Bonds was on pace to hit over 50 HRs in 1994 when the strike happened. The same strike that took MJ back to basketball lol.

"No, he did not give me a hug, I gave him a hug".... Out of nowhere, "WHY!!!". HAD ME ROLLING!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Man they have me rolling mad dog screaming and Stephen A stuttering trying to get a word out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I lived thru the sosa and McGwire hr race. And having the last name Sosa at that time automatically made me known in school 😂 then they found out he wasn't my relative and they didn't care anymore 🤣😭

Molly sitting there acting all serious acting like they’re saying something profound has me cracking up

1:15 This is pure gold! I love it!🤣😂and Stephen A. knew Mad Dog Russo would explode over Barry Bonds cheating. He is trying to hold back laughing🤣

They pretend Bonds Sosa and McGuire didn't exist. I remember those times. Money was made. A lot of money was made.

It puts a smile on my face to know that baseball is finally getting the recognition and the love that is deserves

The way SA says “time out” and “hol up” is 😂😭😂😭

Mad Dog’s “I’m sorry I Cheated” was pretty funny.

These two together is gold for ESPN

The sad part is they're both right

Been loving these two when they talk baseball recently! Keep it going thru the playoffs pls

I’ve been waiting on this conversation to happen since forever

Russo was pure gold 😂😂😂

They walked Bonds with the bases loaded bruh😂😂

Bonds was BOX OFFICE !! he had every network watch his every at bat. He never got pitched to at all. They intentional walked him every time. He’s a goat 🐐. Top 5 all time

People should go back and look at the year Arizona D’Backs win the World Series. Go look at Luis Gonzales numbers that season. He went from 31 HRs to 57 in 2001. People want to pretend that Bonds was the only one using steroids.

4:33 The way Mad Dog ramps it mid sentence. Pure gold!😂😂😂

Molly might as well be sitting on SAS lap she so close trying to get away from mad dog yelling 😂😂😂😂

Dont care if Bonds did roids or not. he would get one pitch to hit a game and he would hit it over the fence. he walked more than teams got walked he was intentionally walked with bases loaded. he is the most complete player to ever play the game.

I love when Steven A and Maddog go at it this is the best.

2:06-2:20 is the funniest most immature type of conversation and I’m here for it😂

Here is the problem with all this. Bonds was a multiple time mvp and widely considered the best player in baseball before the home runs. MLB was hurting after the strike and turned a blind eye to sosa, MCguire, and a list far to long to ignore because it brought fans back. A good portion of the league was using and I don't fault Bonds for trying to even the field. Regardless if you use or not the skill level has to be there to begin with

I know they get kicked out of libraries 😂😂😂😂

Molly CONSISTENTLY adds absolutely nothing to any conversations she interrupts in, ever.

Good stuff guys.

2:20, I went up and gave him a hug. WHY!!!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Judge is baseball home run king 🤴..

I love him yelling !!!😂❤

If y’all give Bond asterisk for cheating then have the same energy for Tom Brady who has been found guilty multiple times and got suspended for cheating.

Lol Molly's face is priceless

Doing it 73 times is better than 62 simple Bonds is just the king he still needed the skills to hit the ball

The fact that Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in 151 games in 1927 is insane and the most impressive home run season IMO. With that said, Aaron judge is a monster and I love watching him play baseball.

Barry ultimately did it but he was never officially guilty

Barry Bonds is the GOAT. Baseball was once American’s most popular sport because of these guys.

Stephen A: (laughing) it's true, I agree 😂 still didn't give a you know what 🤣🤣

Roger maris hit 61 homers one year.. he didnt come close before or after

Easy. Both are HR Kings. Judge - highest HR record Bonds - highest HR record* *With PED Just create two categories. No need to debate.

Well said!!!!!

Barry Bonds would’ve hit over 100 home runs if they would’ve pitched to him

SAS set Doggie up for the lay Up...I'm crying laughing 😭 🤣 💀 😂

HIS HEAD EXPANDED!!! lmfao

I lost it when Stephen A put up the timeout sign 2:25 😂😂

Everytime I hear Mad dog yelling it takes me back to RC getting triggered lol 😂😂

There was no evidence of bonds cheating

"Mom, I want to watch Skip Bayless!" Mom: "We have Skip Bayless at home."

GREAT SEGMENT STEVEN THANKS FOR RISING THE IDEA

Mad dog seems like the type of guy that was probably mad when Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth record

As a person who never took a steroid barely medicine, my head has expanded also. I use to wear a 6 7/8 fitted in high school 😂 now if was to cut my hair I’d be lucky to fit a 7 1/2. I can still wear my high school gear outside of hats

6:26 the way Stephen A said “1998” 😂

Sosa hit 60 plus three times… wow.

If Barry never tested positive for steroids then speculation is not valid. Much respect to Bonds and Judge. No matter if any of them power hitters did take steroids they still had to make solid contact to hit all those home runs. Just my observation.

Bonds never tested positive and how many times did they walk him that season?

You wouldn't think by this clip that Mad Dog is a SF Giants fan and SAS is Yankee fan 🤣🤣🤣

Stephen A's coach once told him: "If you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin'"

Bonds still holds the record point blank

Bonds Sosa McGuire, some of the best years in baseball. All these guys take juice, still need skill, talent and hard work to hit those bombs.

First Take made a great move making Mad Dog and Michael Irvin regular guests

Imagine Judge on steroids. He’d hit the ball to Westchester. He’s the new home run king.

Is it really cheating if the pitcher throwing to you is on the same stuff as well?

"HE CHEATED!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

WOW....ESPN found someone louder than Stephen A....didn't think that was possible.

"Hey everyone, want to see me sock a few dingers?" - Mark Mcguire

Finally Stephen A with a great take!❤

Barry Bonds was a monster

LOUD NOISES!!!!!

Stephen does not even mean it... look how he is about to burst out laughing! 🙂

I see Chris Russo is trying to decrease ESPN’s ratings just like he does on MLB Network. These guys like Chris Russo, Greg Amsinger at MLB Network, Harold Reynolds at MLB Network, Dan Plesac at MLB Network, and all the rest can appoint Aaron Judge as the single season homerun king all they want. The fact of the matter is, Barry Bonds is the Major League Baseball single season homerun king. That record is valid, and it still stands!! I wonder if Bonds had broke the record in 1998 would we be having this conversation. Stats and records don't revolve around personal opinions and feelings. If we’re going to abolish records in the steroid era why don’t we do it with pitchers as well so STFU. Barry Bonds is one of the top 3 players to ever play Major League Baseball. Bonds was a 1st ballot Hall of Famer by 1999. He already had 9 years of dominance offensively and defensively. Just check his peak years. From 1990-1999, he had 8 star appearances, 3 MVP awards, should've had 4; who voted for Terry Pendleton in 1991? Smh. 7 silver slugger awards, 5 30/30 seasons, a career 70 WAR, 400 homeruns, 1188 RBis, and 460 stolen bases. Remember, there was a MLB strike in 1994. He could've had way more career stats by 1999 if it wasn't for the strike. He could've retired by the new millennium and got in on the 1st ballot. As far as Roger Maris Jr goes. He needs to go away and never show his face in public again. He doesn't have the luxury to say who's the true homerun king. Dude, you've played ZERO innings in Major League Baseball. Your father's homerun numbers prior to the year he obtained the record were mediocre. So he needs to ask himself how did his father's number inflate that quickly.

73 is the record. Not 62. The MLB and networks are failing in their mission.

These two are gold together. It really was brilliant of Stephen A to get Mad Dog on for a weekly spot.

They should do a skit on SAS and Mad Dog on Saturday Night Live

A lot of Gen Z never saw Barry Bonds in his prime or at all. I live in NJ, so I've gotten to see a lot of Judge, including last night's game, and I did see a lot of Bonds outside of SportsCenter highlights. Bonds was much more respected than Judge, hence all the intentional walks, even as he was entering his 40s. Judge has become a well-rounded hitter, but anyone who throws close to 100 isn't afraid of coming at him. Any pitcher who didn't have a Clemens or Randy Johnson type fastball or a Barry Zito curve was extremely cautious while pitching to Bonds because he didn't even need to make great contact to hit HRs.

No roids, no PEDs = The Real 62 home runs! Aaron Judge is the true home run single season king

Omg I can't with the guy's yelling. lol

I love how the host is inquisitively listening to them “debate” like the yelling is just a normal day at the office.

This was awesome. Mad Dog actually came out of his seat at one point. Then calms down and speaks calmly a couple of minutes later.

This was the funniest clip I’ve ever seen on First Take

I have never heard a 6 min MLB debate until today

Preach Stephen A!!!!

I don’t understand how bonds cheating is distinguishable from other mlb players that have cheated. Or how his character is more faulty than the hordes of other immoral players

I thought that said JUDGE-MEAT DAY 😂😂

Pitchers were using PEDs the same time Bonds was. I believe the record stands, but I believe Judge's achievement is more impressive for being clean and for the analytics not favoring hitters now more than ever before!

Two Karens screaming

Judge is the only guy not to get in trouble for cheating

Love it!

a great argument. I mostly watch FS1 but First Take does it right

I love Mad Dog so much. He’s right there with Francesca as the best ever.

I want Mad Dog to come to my Church and my family reunion and just go in on everybody bullsh***, while I have cup poured up and laugh my a$$ off

@ 5:25 did Stephen A just say n***a? hahahah

Bonds is the 🐐🐐 plain and simple. This guy mentioned babe Ruth who was drunk half the time 🤣🤣🤣

Did bonds fail a test I don’t know about? Was his name in the mitchell report?
