Skip Bayless leaving ESPN

[ArbitraryWater]

:biggums:

That was his perfect outlet, have all the sheep listen to his stuff..

apparently ESPN wanted him to stay, but he wanted to go in another direction... will be going to Fox Sports.

[ArbitraryWater]

Not that I watch this dude or ESPN anyway, but its still news.

Most likely.

[StephHamann]

Put him on Cowherd's show. Would be epic.

[Meticode]

Should be interesting if they keep First Take or not since he was basically the show itself.

you mean, one half? Since, it were 2 people and all?

[HurricaneKid]

Good riddance.

[Dray n Klay]

Lol ESPN offered him $4M, he still left.



Can you imagine? Getting paid more than many NBA players ($4M) just to sit on a chair and troll all day? :yaohappy:



You can't find a better job than that

[Lebron23]

Lebron can hire him as one of his PR. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

Finally someone who gets it. He's a master troll:oldlol:
Gets more attention than everyone else.
You could spot him almost breaking into a smile at times after he says something infinitely stupid and gets his guests riled up and furious:oldlol:

Won't be the same without skip. Hope he goes on cowherds program.

[FreezingTsmoove]

First take died after Lebron won a title

Before that it was absolutely must watch comedy

Lebrons first year with the Heat was Skip Bayless at his PEAK

Agree with this. He piped down after 2012 and wasn't the same. Humble skip isn't as funny as the troll who preceded him. That skip would made fun of everything from Lebron's game to Lebron's dance moves. He was hillarios:oldlol:

"Didn't I say? He is prince James. Prince James cuz he can't get it DONE. Ok Steven a? ":roll:

[Nikola_]

didnt know he wakes up in 3am and runs 8 miles a day

[I know you are]

Can't say this bothers me. The dude is a walking meme at best.

[Klay 3D]

Skip Legend. Deserves a retirement tour. :cry: :violin:

And people care even less about what Mark Cuban has to say, especially when it comes to running a basketball team.

[HoopologyPhD]

Good riddance.

Amen, it is bad enough having to deal with whiny, obnoxious people IRL, why would I want to watch someone like that in my free time?

[Castor Troy]

First Tirrico, now Bayless... what's happening at ESPN?

[senelcoolidge]

I would leave espn. espn is owned by a lefty organization. these guys don't have any freedom..they just have to spew what the upper management tells them to say. there's no room for free speech when it comes to the left. people get fired and massively fined for going off script.

Skip talked shit about Goodell, Simmons did too.

Both are gone now

[Bobcats2013]

the greatest sports troll of our generation.

sips up for my nikka skip. Will be forever missed, his pre-ring lebron and tebow trolls were the goat.

Skip is a legend.

Will miss this dude.

[RoseCity07]

I never watched ESPN when skip was on the air. He was terrible in every way.

[Magic 32]

And instead.....

dam Skip ended up being the leader of all sports journalists, who would of ever thought.

I'd say it's more about ESPN cost cutting.

More people getting rid of cable/satellite TV and using other methods to stream live TV.

[Cold soul]

Skip Bayless has became stale and old his material is lacking now. He was good troll in his hay day I'll give him that.

Going to miss this dude

He plays the villain so we can tolerate Stephen A

He's the engine of First Take

It's over now

[Prime_Shaq]

He was great before LeBron got a ring.

[BIZARRO]

First Take (years ago) used to be very good television.....

It went WAY downhill however when Skip and Stephen A. changed the format from conversation based discussion to monologue based lack of discussion.....

They both made an agreement about 4 years ago to have the format be to let the other talk for like 5 minutes at a time.......Without interruption.....Stephen A. was always much worse offender of this.......Always going on and on and on and on......Came off so self important.....Long winded...And the biggest crime of all, it was boring.....

You could tell it always frustrated Skip to have to sit there and just be silent fo Stephen A.'s seemingly neverending "pretentious filled with his usual I'm always right even though I have usually lame, obviously non-objective opinions that I state as fact".....

Just unbearable to watch the last few years......Never liked Skip.....But it seems like a good move, if just to get away from Stephen A...(I used to be a Stephen A. fan years ago).......But anyway, Stephen A. has become so brutal, how could one choose to stay with him......Wish Skip the best of luck in his new gig....

[Round Mound]

One of the Biggest MJ Stans Ever
Discredits Pippen as a Top 50 Player
Only Talks About "His Spurs"
Hates on Lebron All Day

Steven A Smith Actually Knows The Game. Skip is Just an Act.

That's the point fatboy

You can't have two guys saying the same things

That'd be boring

Skip played the villain to make Stephen A look good

I understand that sometimes there has to be a debate or disagreement between them two to make it more fun and interesting (Marketing reasons) but Steven A knows the game much more than Skip. Just on the Pippen thing alone he should have been banned from commenting NBA. :confusedshrug:

[SexSymbol]

Good analyst, a lot of his predictions came true and he manned up and admitted when he was wrong.
A healthy sense of humor too, I'll never forget the joke when he said that a commercial should give lebron a clutch gene, because he doesn't have one, one of the better jokes I've heard all time

This. Also way too much focus on non-sports issues. The show has gotten way too unnecessarily serious over the years.

[D-Wait]

:cry: The show will never be the same...

[Im Still Ballin]

The problem is if they try to replace Skip with another villain character

The dummies will catch on and actually might realize it's an act

There's only one Skip Bayless

[Captvic]

Yeah the show got boring once Lebron won a ring and once ESPN told stephen a smith to turn down his shenanigans

[ArbitraryWater]

Why you riding the man that ****ed your fellow countryman out of more chips?

:biggums:

Im not in a basketball sense.. but hes still a cool guy. He cares as much as anyone, at least he tried.

[stalkerforlife]

Skip was always right about Tebow.

Just never given an opportunity.

[Kawhi]

Skip was always right about Tebow.

Just like Johnny Manziel and Jimmer Fredette, huh?

[WayOfWad3]

I saw him there today, when is he quitting?

[scuzzy]

I saw him there today, when is he quitting?


When the NBA finals conclude



How much you wanna bet they give SAS Skips job, he hires a black journalist , fires Molly and rehires Cari?

[ImKobe]

I saw him there today, when is he quitting?

After they recap the NBA Finals in June.

Skip is the GOAT when it comes to trolling...Can't imagine anyone replacing him on the show, it's unwatchable without him.

Goes out like Kobe.

[aarondk88]
