LeSean McCoy’s Reaction to Emmanuel Acho’s ‘Take the Top Off’ Comment Is Everything

Emmanuel Acho, former NFL linebacker and current FS1 analyst, returned to the network on Monday following a tumultuous weekend marked by serious allegations involving his colleagues. A lawsuit filed by former Fox Sports hairstylist Noushin Faraji accuses FS1 personalities, including Skip Bayless, Joy Taylor, and executive Charlie Dixon, of workplace misconduct. While Acho is not accused of wrongdoing, the lawsuit alleges he had a consensual relationship with Taylor that purportedly advanced her career.

During Monday’s broadcast of ‘The Facility,’ Acho discussed the Detroit Lions’ offensive strategies, using the phrase “take the top off” to describe deep passing plays. This comment elicited a noticeable reaction from co-host LeSean McCoy, who responded with a conspicuous cough and an “Ahem,” suggesting an awareness of the recent allegations.

The timing of Acho’s comment, given the lawsuit’s claims, did not go unnoticed by viewers and quickly became a topic of discussion on social media. Despite the swirling controversy, neither Acho nor Taylor addressed the allegations on-air. Notably, Acho has deleted previous social media posts featuring videos promoting Taylor, further fueling speculation.

The lawsuit has prompted reactions from other former FS1 personalities. Marcellus Wiley, who co-hosted ‘Speak for Yourself’ with Acho, revealed he is considering legal action, stating that recent revelations have led him to reassess his departure from the network.

Fox Sports has acknowledged the lawsuit, stating, “We take these allegations seriously and have no further comment at this time given this pending litigation.”

As the situation develops, the network and its personalities are under increased scrutiny. Viewers and industry insiders alike are closely monitoring how FS1 addresses the allegations and the potential impact on its programming and talent.
