lebron gifted Shannon Sharpe with numerous gifts, information and a personal relationship not to mention courtside tickets on occasion.. guess why? that's acknowledgement
He makes some WILD TAKES by going out on a limb. A lot of the times he is wrong, but when he is right he looks like a profit. Personally I think Skip is a cool dude. He does job well. Going after Lebron was the smartest thing he's ever done.
you're right.. skip is a smart dude 💯 attached himself to a generational talent, hated on him for two decades, made millions of dollars and has his own show which he completely controls.. I'm not a fan of skip, most ppl aren't 😂 but dude is very smart
I'm sure he halfway believes his takes, but the selling is what makes him so successful. Many people may think Lebron isn't the goat, many are obnoxious Cowboys fans, but he the character is where the genius comes.
If you think of Skip Bayless as a sports analyst, he's a dime a dozen. If you think of Skip Bayless as an entertainer who talks about sports, he's truly one of the greats.
Honestly most of sports journalism in the USA is entertainment rather than real journalism. Stephen A and Skip are the best examples of that. They know sports really well, but unfortunately everything in the US has to be entertainment for some reason, even politics. So they make really smart people doing clown shit and stupid hot takes to make it entertaining.
Lmao make fun of Tom Brady and skip will cry. He's not thick skinned. Just listen to him scream "MY TURN" on his show when he's not getting his way. Thin skinned is what he's the literal definition of (:
I dont respect him. I personally cannot respect a man that steps in the toes of actual analytics and makes his entire living by that. If end goal is your result, if money is the thing that drives you sure, he is succesful. By my values hes nothing more than a failure, and how he gets his "success" disgusts me. I wouldnt want that kind of success at the cost of doing it so i am free to find it repelling.
@@othisdede8027 Lol by values? Has a committed any crime? Has he ruined anybody's life? Your "disgust" is merely overblown and your reasons are merely self righteous and exaggerated.
Dude he’s not a journalist , he’s an entertainer. Once you realize that it makes sense . You watch him just to hear wtf stupid stuff he’s gonna say cause it’s hilarous . And I don’t even watch this dude but I understand why. What country are you from , you guys only have news on your tvs ? No entertainment? Fun shows? Must be boring buddy
It’s the older crowd that pays attention to him. His like the older generations Gilbert arenas. Says a bunch of stupid shit and ppl pay attention. I don’t think either of them are dumb. They know what they’re doing. I don’t give them no mind
I love skip for who he is, you gotta accept the fact that he’s never gonna change. He’s in his 70s and the only person to bring him down to a decimal is Ernestine 😂😂😂😂.
Actually, the show was called Cold Pizza not 1st and 10, 1st and 10 was the segment for Cold Pizza and later First Take. It's funny that Richard Sherman is now a co-host with Skip Bayless
By not being a klutch client and being partnered with a man who was a massive client. I swear how ppl don’t get this story or understand the nuance involved is beyond me. If you hate Skip then you don’t understand how sports management works or which analysts are represented by who
Patrick Mahomes has played 14 playoff games and is 11-3. Bayless only ever "predicted" a Chiefs win (because he doesn't do traditional pick segments) against Indy in 2018. That is some next-level trolling.
While Skip may say he doesn’t care what people think of him, you have to imagine he is very jealous of his brother, Rick. That said, dude built a career off of it, so you have to respect that.
He's just a product of our times. Keyboard warriors are a dime a dozen, but those same men would never utter those words if they had to breathe the same air as the people they were disrespectful towards. Skip gives me those vibes. Just an old guy yelling things to see what sticks as the audience slowly begins to cringe whenever his voice sounds
I’m an Eagles fan and I love Skip. Just as I believe every sport needs its bad guy I think the way Skip used this concept on TV was almost revolutionary. Dude is always pushing the limit of what’s acceptable, of what will get him cancelled or punched in the face. As much as people hate him I think they would miss his lunacy when he retires.
Nah, I wouldn’t miss him. Too many people lack critical thinking these days and believe everything he says. Even the dumb shit like Troy being gay: He’s negatively influenced the way people think on basketball among other things just for clout
I 1st heard of Skip Bayless when he was a writer for the San Francisco Chronicle.. He would write a piece, and sometimes people was able to leave comments under it.. I remember the Chronicle, abd the Oakland Tribune used to allow comments on sports pages
Bron going to Undisputed is going to be Legendary. Honestly Skip is a the OG of this and he really is about that life. I cant knock on the man for being successful, especially since he has made so many other careers. When he eventually does retire, the sports world will give him all his props.
For those who have watched Skip long enough, he has always been really good when it comes to the deep topics (non-sports related). That made me realize he was mainly just playing a bad guy. Sure, the Damar Hamlin thing was a little out of line, at least the timing of it, but he had a point & didn’t mean any harm by it. Plus, a lot of the people who killed him over that, are the same ones who constantly ridiculed any type of Hamlin coverage after, which proves they only used it as an opportunity to attack Skip, so at the end of the day.. he’s probably a better human than most of his haters. I’ll always respect what he brought to sports media & his story will be told for generations. We’ll miss him when he retires
I feel like the argument that if they weren’t a great athlete, they can’t critique someone’s game is just not right. You think most coaches were HOF players? No, some never even played but they know the game more than a lot of players. Anyone can know the game only some can succeed at it
I stumbled across First Take right after Stephen came on in 2012. Watched it everyday for a while and always loved Skip. He knows what he's doing, its an act, a shtick.
The sad thing is Skip actually thinks he’s right with all of his takes. Stephen A and Shannon have said Skip really does believe what he says. He’s not saying it just to start controversy
Skip is a goat as an outsider new nba fan I love skip and love his analysis, fun fact skips brother is Rick bayless who is a world famous and renowned chef in Mexican food. I challenge anybody to respond to this comment and tell me another name in Mexican food that’s as popular or renowned as Rick bayless, you won’t. Un biased un popular takes and speaking truth is a gene that the bayless possess and nothing will take that away from skip or Rick, that family has winning genes built in deep down. Don’t keep underestimating it 😅
he didn't make Shannon anything 😂 he did give Shannon the platform on undisputed, he hand picked Shannon, I'll give you that... but by no means did skip make Shannon what he is today.. he was a hall of famer long before he did undisputed with skip
He is definitely not the most hated man in sports lol he definitely has some crush takes, but he’s been very successful for a long time, and his longevity shows it
Whats crazy is that the networks that he worked for never put a spotlight on him like you just did. This was the tribute he deserved and I hope he sees this and can appreciate it.
That closing line is exactly why I completely stopped watching him. Funny how the dude legally changed his name to further distance himself from his abusive father just to become a representation of an abusive father to so many young athletes that found themselves in his cross hairs for no good reason. What a shameful human being
You reaching far as a mf my boy, a guy on tv talking shit about a game you get paid to play isn’t a representation of an abusive father in no shape form or fashion, think before typing is what I usually tell people
When you take a step back, you have to appreciate his greatness as a sports entertainer and manipulator. But if everyone took a step back, then he wouldn't have a single viewer
14 years later and Bron still hasn’t acknowledged Skips existence
It really is beautiful and I bet that pisses Skip off.
The day after he retires, he is going to publish a 3,000 page book on why he hates Skip.
@Zack_410 it must eat away at him so much
he responded to a tweet talking about skip about 12 years ago
lebron gifted Shannon Sharpe with numerous gifts, information and a personal relationship not to mention courtside tickets on occasion.. guess why? that's acknowledgement
For a hated man like Skip, he does have an interesting life story.
I like Skip .. I think he’s funny I think he’s great at what he does ..
@@OldManClutch yeah if you accept the fact that his TV personality is just that, a character he plays, it gets funny and you can respect the hustle
What was interesting about it??
Villain origin story
@@raczgabor659 exactly 💯
He's one of the most successful trolls in documented history, honestly aspirational
Indeed. He is laughing all the way to the bank.
Lol
*inspirational
He is not a troll he believes the things he says
@@digontozahidno, he trolls. He might believe half truths but he trolls
"Heel" is the most apt word to describe him. Reminds me of Paul Heyman
That's a great comparison. For older wrestling fans, I'd say he's more like Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan
@@iloveprowrestlingHeenan is a horrible person, skip is actually a decent person.
@@solodolo4098 Really? I didn't know that. How is Bobby Heenan a "horrible person"?
@@iloveprowrestlingoh wait my bad it wasnt Bobby, it was someone else in that era and until the 90s that pulled a Sandusky.
Solodolo.
I think Terry Garvin, or Mel Phillips, or Grizzly Smith is who you’re thinking of.
The Jalen Rose-Skip “1.4ppg” argument lives rent free in my head 😂
"I'm an athlete, not a journalist..."
easily the best argument someone has had vs skip because its an undeniable fact.
i still call him pistol pete
@@laureanouberalles5391not the only one, all you need to do is bring any failure in his life which is 90% of his existence.
@@isnotworthithave you seen his net worth? His character is basically to be a troll and he’s very successful at it.
Skip: I’m an athlete, not a writer!
Teacher: trust me on this kid, you’re no athlete
😂
Crazy how him and Richard are now co-hosts 😂😂😂😂 but Skip predicting Warriors 73-9 is insane
😂
He makes some WILD TAKES by going out on a limb. A lot of the times he is wrong, but when he is right he looks like a profit. Personally I think Skip is a cool dude. He does job well.
Going after Lebron was the smartest thing he's ever done.
Skip Bayless is a genius
He makes dumb takes to get people mad
you're right.. skip is a smart dude 💯 attached himself to a generational talent, hated on him for two decades, made millions of dollars and has his own show which he completely controls.. I'm not a fan of skip, most ppl aren't 😂 but dude is very smart
Rage bait ain't new
I'm sure he halfway believes his takes, but the selling is what makes him so successful. Many people may think Lebron isn't the goat, many are obnoxious Cowboys fans, but he the character is where the genius comes.
Because Skeep was a journalist and columnist before entering TV media. So Skeep knows how to get people's attention (otherwise known as TV ratings)
@@DynastyIcongotta respect it, found a niche and made a career
Skip was one of the OG trolls, back in the day of paper print, and basically just rose up to troll level 100.
The issue is though that millions of people don’t know he’s a troll and think he absolutely means what he says and it’s facts
If you think of Skip Bayless as a sports analyst, he's a dime a dozen.
If you think of Skip Bayless as an entertainer who talks about sports, he's truly one of the greats.
if you think about Skip as an Troll who talks abouts sports, than you are right.
GRHATES😆

Skip is hated in a television villain sort of way.
His work ethic on and off the air is quite admirable
That Max take on Iguodala taking a shot to save the universe got me dying😂
Ice in his veins....
Skip is the literal definition of thick skin.
Lmao make fun of Tom Brady and skip will cry. He's not thick skinned. Just listen to him scream "MY TURN" on his show when he's not getting his way. Thin skinned is what he's the literal definition of (:
How is he thick skin 😭
He enjoys being a villain
@@taylorgordon2696 the things people say about him on Twitter. You need thick skin to keep going
@@MikeBNumba6 I guess thats fair, yeah ok. Because on tv his emotional over everything, wouldn’t say thick skin
I respect skip man. He is the definition of give the people what they want.
Not really. I'd much rather have intelligent journalism backed up by facts and knowledge, that Skip's midless, nonsensical ranting.
cool he's talking about generally not specifically about people like you
@@konzza If that was popular, Max Kellerman would have a long running prime time sports show right now but he doesn't.
I dont respect him. I personally cannot respect a man that steps in the toes of actual analytics and makes his entire living by that. If end goal is your result, if money is the thing that drives you sure, he is succesful. By my values hes nothing more than a failure, and how he gets his "success" disgusts me.

@@othisdede8027 Lol by values? Has a committed any crime? Has he ruined anybody's life? Your "disgust" is merely overblown and your reasons are merely self righteous and exaggerated.
This shows more about the quality of audience than skip himself. People care failure and success rather the whole process of it. It is what it is
Well said
That "Habitual line-stepper" description got me going "I'm Rick James B*tch!" 😂
You left out the Tebow era, that was peak first take
remember Skip talking about Manziel In Cleveland
I remember that. Skip argues that Tim Tebow is more box office than Kobe and Lebron.
@@JakeStevysonHe's going to Pro...Bowls.
He is the ultimate troll.
And that's it nothing more
Skip is a legend. I respect him
SERIOUSLY
he's a jealous hater
His viewership says a lot about the American public 😅
Right!
yepp, stupidity is real in the usa
Dude he’s not a journalist , he’s an entertainer. Once you realize that it makes sense . You watch him just to hear wtf stupid stuff he’s gonna say cause it’s hilarous . And I don’t even watch this dude but I understand why.
What country are you from , you guys only have news on your tvs ? No entertainment? Fun shows? Must be boring buddy
If you need a clown spouting nonsense to enjoy a sport, maybe you aren't really a fan of that sport@@JoeRogansForehead
It’s the older crowd that pays attention to him. His like the older generations Gilbert arenas. Says a bunch of stupid shit and ppl pay attention. I don’t think either of them are dumb. They know what they’re doing. I don’t give them no mind

That’s exactly why I never watch any of those analysts lol there are far better analysts on UA-cam if you find the right ones.
Agreed but Stephen A. Smith does entertain me and I like Get Up with Mike Greenburg
Only good ones are on inside the nba watch those boys every Tuesday and Thursday
If you need someone to analyze the sport for you then you’re not a fan of the sport, you’re a fan of the bullshit around sports.
They are TV personalities. Don’t have to take them seriously
@@vernonleewarren280Stephen A is phony and a fraud
*"I WANT IGUODALA!"* Is a timeless classic
That "habitual line stepper" reference is goated lol
Actually, the show was called Cold Pizza not 1st and 10, 1st and 10 was the segment for Cold Pizza and later First Take. It's funny that Richard Sherman is now a co-host with Skip Bayless
I have respect for him for somehow escape his abusive dad. And, he's a good entertainer. But he didn't know shit😂
Impeccable editing and storytelling
By not being a klutch client and being partnered with a man who was a massive client. I swear how ppl don’t get this story or understand the nuance involved is beyond me. If you hate Skip then you don’t understand how sports management works or which analysts are represented by who
I remember 2011 Lebron and the Heat made Skip look like a God when they lost to Dallas
Greatest sports troll of all time
Bruh took sports trolling to another level
Patrick Mahomes has played 14 playoff games and is 11-3. Bayless only ever "predicted" a Chiefs win (because he doesn't do traditional pick segments) against Indy in 2018.
That is some next-level trolling.
Skip is a complicated man I can say🤷🏾♂️
Skip Bayless is Skip Bayless🤷🏿♂️
While Skip may say he doesn’t care what people think of him, you have to imagine he is very jealous of his brother, Rick.
That said, dude built a career off of it, so you have to respect that.
I kinda like him being around
Nahh he tries to ruin people careers with his nonsense
One of the best guilty pleasures to watch in sports TV.
Keep up the good work Sir!!!
Hate him or love him...fact is, he's a beast at his profession👌
He is a clown
Please
@@hollmoore1227he is tho

Stuart Scott is just as light loved and respected, and he didn’t have to become a circus clown to receive those flowers.
Skip is the Stone Cold Steve Austin of sports talk 😂
Not quite, I’d say that he’s more like a late 90s Shawn Michaels. Stone Cold was an antihero that people loved, people straight up HATE Skip.
Habitual line stepper 😂 Chapelle show reference I love it
Well said
11:48 that has to be the wildest take I ever heard 😂🤦🏾♂️
I remember this: even the biggest Johnny Football fans were like “Uh,… he’s pretty good, but i don’t know if he’ll be LeBron good…”

He would write a piece, and sometimes people was able to leave comments under it..
I remember the Chronicle, abd the Oakland Tribune used to allow comments on sports pages
In all fairness to Skip he made the careers of Shannon and SAS that being said I will never forgive him for slandering my glorious king.
Fans don't like it, but you're right about the former. That's why Stephen A and Shannon thank him for giving them a chance
Your glorious king?
Tell us you’re gay without saying you’re gay
Who is the glorious king? Jesus?

I enjoy watching him upset people lol he makes me laugh sometimes
The sad thing is he is laughing all the way to the bank.

Skip is definitely an entertainer whom took 1 for the team and be the villain

I don't need to be a pro Chef to say a dish sucks nor a pro movie critic to say movie a sucks. Yea I agree
Skip actually had an amazing life story and it shows he was a genuine natural at journalism. wasn’t expecting that at all
I stumbled across First Take right after Stephen came on in 2012. Watched it everyday for a while and always loved Skip. He knows what he's doing, its an act, a shtick.
I like this new content. I hope that you can do about Rajon Rondo
