In a post on X, LeSean McCoy acknowledged the cancellation of his program on FS1, and what fans and viewers can expect from him moving forward.
“Damn fired on my day off , WELL put me on the trading block,” he said on hispost. “Speak and Facility was a blast I got some announcements coming soon but one thing I do know from *American football emoji* is TALENT & DEDICATION always wins see u sooooon.”
FS1 recently announced the cancellation of three of its sports shows: “Speak,” “The Facility,” and Breakfast Ball.” The decision marked a significant shift in the network’s strategy, coming only at least a year after some of these shows started airing.
According to a report byFront Office Sports, sources have pointed to potential new shows to replace the canceled ones, with talents including Tony Reali, Max Kellerman, and Kay Adams. On social media, former FS1 host and sports critic Jason Whitlock also made a suggestion that the network should do a TV version of All the Smoke, with former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on the roster.

Although the cancellations have been stunning in effect, all three canceled programs were already struggling to attract viewership, particularly after hosts like Joy Taylotr got named i a controversial lawsuit.
Charlie Dixon, who departed the program in April this year, was also named as a major player in a lawsuit filed by one of the network’s former hairstylists.
LeSean McCoy FS1 Co-Host Speaks Up on Losing Program
Unlike LeSean McCoy, Emmanuel Acho admitted that while he understands how things work in TV, and that it’s similar to how things work in sports, he had no chance to come up with a plan and thus cannot promise his fans and viewers any major announcement soon.
“In sports, when you’re not good enough, you get cut,”he wrote on his post on X. “In TV, when you’re not good enough, you get cancelled. I’m not going to try and come to y’all with some ‘Big announcements soon. Stay tuned’ because I don’t actually know what’s coming. But what I do know is I trust God.”

Joy Taylor has been with Fox Sports 1 for nine years before the cancellation, with her show “Speak” being one of the most prominent discussion platforms.
Emannuel Acho and LeSean McCoy were also co-hosts on the program, and McCoy had his own stint on “The Facility,” which focused on NFL topics and highlights.
