Skip Bayless skipping out

[DanOregon]

I've never understood why what some detached journo thinks is any more insightful or meaningful than "Joe in Wichita on line 3."

Because it's sponsored. That will change once you get the Trojan "First Time/Long Time" Listener Line established.

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.

Are people specifically tuning in to see him and/or SAS or is it because they instinctively put the TV on ESPN?

I've ALWAYS thought that this was the case. Like, that you could put anything vaguely sports-related on in the morning, and it'll get some ratings. Loud Screaming Morning Show or Mike & Mike probably does better than the 15th airing of Sportscenter, but it's hard for me to believe that Skip and SAS actually have huge fan followings that watch them regularly.

Sports fans are stupid.

Staff meetings will be fun!

Here are what Fox Sports personalities have tweeted about Skip Bayless

Nolan made a name bc she paraded her tits around on YouTube before going to FoxSports to talk at midnight to drunken college kids, while Travis and Whitlock are the same level of ****-stirrer as Bayless. He'll be right at home. I have no idea where Fox 1 is in my cable guide, and doubt that the arrival of Bayless will point the way

"paraded her tits around"?

Bolt-ons? Removable? Avec wheels?

She couldn't have strapped them down. The nerve!

Pics or GTFO.

And they're hot taeks, folks.

Fishing with Roland Martin gets better ratings than Cowherds show on fs1.

All this is much ado about nothing

Nolan is great. You are a jackass

Not a big fan of Nolan, but agree on the jackass part.

Would Bayless have the "success" he's had if he was proven right more often? I realize he is a professional troll, but it takes a lot of - um, something - to be as egregious as he has, as frequently as he has. I'm guessing he's touting Connor Cook and Christian Hackenberg as qbs in this draft?

"paraded her tits around"?

 

[Alma]

Dumb ass take on Nolan. She has a good career ahead of her -probably more in the realm of comedy and celebrity than year after year sports takes.

I'd be curious to see her debate Bayless. I think he'd frustrate her real quick. He's a sophist of a rare kind.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

In any such debate, which will never happen, Nolan has one weapon Skip doesn't -- a sense of humor.
