Fox Sports is shaking up its content for the 2025 NFL season, there's no question about it.

Last week, The Athletic reported that FS1 is getting rid of "Breakfast Ball" and "The Facility." The network has also cut ties with "Speak," which was hosted by Joy Taylor, former NFL player Keyshawn Johnson and former NBA star Paul Pierce. According to The Athletic, these shows were canceled because they "struggled to find a huge audience."

After FS1 canceled these three TV shows, "The Facility" host Emmanuel Acho released a statement on social media. He was understandably devastated by the news.

"In sports, when you’re not good enough, you get cut," Acho wrote. "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."

As for "Breakfast Ball," neither Craig Carton nor Danny Parkins commented on FS1's massive shakeup. One of them, however, is about to join a prominent show for the fall.

Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports reported that Parkins is joining "First Things First" for the 2025 NFL season. He'll be a regular on the show, which is expanding to three hours.

"Parkins joins Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes as fixtures on the program, and Eric Mangini and Greg Jennings will also remain regular contributors. First Things First will now air from 3:00 pm through 6:00 pm ET, and Parkins’s role will be on the new third hour," Glasspiegel wrote. "It is the final domino in a revamped lineup after Breakfast Ball, The Facility, and Speak were all canceled last week."

There's no doubt Nick Wright is fired up about this move. He's been close friends with Parkings for many years.
