There is a god.

My give a ****s about Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless are non-existent.

 

[Spartan Squad]

So will Bayless complete the ****-show at FS1 and join up with that crew?

 

[bigpern23]

I don't watch Fox Sports, so it seems like the perfect place for him to land.

Bayless can leave, and take LeBastard with him.
And then go drive a car off the pier.

Deadspin is reporting that he is in fact headed to Fox.

This is going to make him so, so easy to disregard. Love the move!

ESPN is becoming about as attractive to work for in CT as Subway.

 

[HanSenSE]

It's going to improve both networks.

Staff meetings will be fun!

Here are what Fox Sports personalities have tweeted about Skip Bayless

 

[LongTimeListener]

Bayless is at most 5 percent more of a ****head than any of those people tweeting. Less of a ****head in some cases (Whitlock, Travis).

People watch First Take. Skip Bayless is a star on that network.

Something seems afoot here. I've heard rumblings that the climate of ESPN is decidedly, heavily liberal at this point, and I could see some men with stubborn, conservative-leaning worldviews and opinions just saying no thanks. I thought it fueled Cowherd's departure, to be frank. Fox is a home for all that stuff, that's for sure.

Deadspin will be happy tho.

Can I just say I hate the term "hot take?"

I think it's what is used to be known as an ill-informed opinion, only louder.

No, as I understand it, a hot take is something different ... It's deliberately crafted to be contradictory or in some other way stand out from the pack, and may not be (probably isn't) the true opinion of the author.

Skip pioneered it.

So my take on hot takes was a hot take? Dammit!

With Stephen A in the trunk

Which is different than the Subway Fresh Take. Which apparently has something to do with novice alter boys
