skip Bayless is gonna do what?

fox news may be evolving ...

Who or what the f*** is that?

Skip Bayless is an obnoxious, self-important jerk sportswriter. He also had a show on ESPN2 (I guess someone watched it; certainly not me). For some reason, FOX has hired him for something.

Nobody - NOBODY likes Skip. He's there for irritainment. Let's see how long it takes him to wear out his welcome.

The only reason to care about this is the possibility of him crossing paths with Troy Aikman in the hallway at Fox.

He might be the first media person that I hated. He was on some feature back in the eighties and Dale Hansen hosted it. I hated him then and it never stopped.

And yes, I hope he has to deal with Troy. In today's Morning News, Troy had this wonderful statement:

"I believe success is achieved by acquiring and developing talented, respected and credible individuals, none of which applies to Skip Bayless."

So awesome.

I like Skippy.

There's probably less chance of an encounter now that they are working for the same company. Troy likes his gig.

I get it.

The flaming liberals like him and the "right thinking" Conservatives don't.

Bubba is the first person I've ever heard say they like him, and that's going back 35 years.

I'm not a sports fan but I do know my husband hates him. Steve's a pretty reasonable man, but not in the case of Skip Bayless.

Bayless is intelligent, well-informed, courageous, and he tells the truth as he understands it to be.

IF you don't like him, do not watch him. Spending a minute hating Skip is a waste of time and
energy. Nobody cares.

PS Gee, are these the death throes of Fox? Seven women challenging its self concept of "we" report and Ailes shown the door. Only truly appeals to older white men. (I'm not one of them.)

Demographics show a continuing contraction for Fox's audience. Wonder if they are reaching out beyond the idiot wing to staunch the bleeding?

Ridiculous.

I started reading Skip Bayless when there was still a Dallas Times Herald. Skip was the first voice heard the day the Ticket went on the air.

Skip is a talented writer, but he is also a one trick pony. He looks for the opinion that will upset the most people and that's the position he takes.I'll put the over/under on how long he lasts at Fox at 365 1/2 days.

..and whoever he is..he's NOT going to Fox News.

..he's going to one of the Fox Sports networks..big difference.

Bayless caused me to turn of the radio when he worked at KLIF, same was true from day 1 at the Ticket, never paid attention to his coverage of the boys.
His writing about gossip mongering with a coach to dumb to leave his gun at home bothered me and I'm no fan of the boys.

I find this amusing.
Right away you had to label a sports writer.
Do weather reports fall into the categories also?
Lol

As mentioned, he is a self important ass.
Bubba and Mayhem are only 2 I have ever known who like him. He likes to just write crap to stir the pot.
I guess he might get ratings, IDK.

It's ok to have a sense of humor.

But it is also noteworthy that two liberal people chimed in with favorable comments..and every Conservative very much dislikes him.

I don't watch sports shows, but my friends that do continually tell me how politically far left their hosts are..so before we even get to Skip..sports divide us politically just like everything else.

That's because conservatives generally have anger issues.

That being said, I don't like him either.

the powerful may just be firming things up around at FOX , FOX already has left leaning 'oreily' leading FOX . Then there is lefty 'shep smith' so this lefty sports guy that i never heard of will fit right in with lefty 'juan williams' and the FOX crew . FOX just gave 'greta' the boot and i haven't seen that dark haired girl ' angela tantoros ' for the last couple of months . So it might just be that FOX is getting rid the kinda conservative hosts and is replacing them with lefties .

Funny you should mention that.

I have noticed all my life how Conservatives tend to be happier people.

I've never known a happy liberal..they're too busy wringing their hands about all that's wrong with the world..and of the evils of America.
