I would be more than fine if I never saw Skip anywhere on TV, the Internet, or heard him on any radio.
Skip's YT channel is going to pop-up on your YT feed now, you just jinxed yourself.😁
I Agree but take stephen Ass with you drip!
Drip doesn't care when he calls for a team to get rid of an athlete, I don't feel bad he loses his job. He's got millions.
Lebron and cowboys trolling aside, Skip has a pretty good perspective on sports. He’s been covering sports for over 40 years in the trenches reporting and on TV. He’s no scrub, and understands sports more than most.
@@samueljackson3920 It is very difficult to trust what Skip says because most of his outlandish claims cannot be verified due to the age of story and no proof, no records.
Personally never liked Skip's gimmick. It was overinflate everyone he liked, disparage everyone he didn't like. Zero objectivity, and it routinely turned disrespectful and personal. Thankfully people finally got sick of it.
Skip was using the term "Hall of Fame" as an insult towards Shannon's knowledge and opinions. Shannon asked Skip to stop multiple times on-air, Skip never stopped of course, a HUGE character flaw of Bayless.
What’s next? Cage match with Chuck
I still remembered when Skip Bayless went on to KNBR during the Cowboys‘ rise during the early 1990s, and he was beyond obnoxius, subjective, and disrespectful to anyone and EVERYONE who refuses to abandon the 49ers root for Dallas, and his disparages has ruffled so many people that they have no respect for Skip, myself included.
Back in the early days of cold pizza 🍕 the gimmick was interesting.. but it ran its course a decade ago
@@jcngokai-76 Did you see the interview when Skip said Troy was the G-word, Deion and the interviewer checked Bayless.
Skip can't transition into online only because to do that you have to have relationships with interesting people. Skip spent decades trashing everyone interesting. It's sweet karma
Clown
Fox gave Skip $52 million for the last eights years he'll be fine
Facts
It's not about the money. Skip was always going to be fine financially he was fine even before he left ESPN.
That amount of money is just insane
@@nr30199true story , skip squeegee every drop out of that lemon , he’s 110 years old
Not if he stays in Cali
I’ll miss Skip.
Said nobody ever!
Baker Mayfield and Tim Tebow are in mourning.
Tom Brady probably is not, since he threw Shannon under the bus for Tom. But Tom probably says "what a weird F...King guy."
Skips schtick ran its course , everyone is sick of it .
sas is hopefully the next to fall
Waiting for everyone to get sick of rob Parker now 😂
Paul Finebaum also
So you guys just want guys on these shows that only agree with you
@@Hydepop19 no we want people that actually use logic and reasoning in their explanations not glorified haters
If you thought Skip was bad, SAS is going to be 10x worse. His ego is/will be out of control especially if SAS gets his big contract.
Nobody knows what's going on with Stephen A and ESPN, one minute Stephen A claiming everything comes through him first on First Take, the next minute Stephen A claims the bosses make all First Take decisions.
@@GooniesNeverSayDie1980I think before he signed his current deal they gave him EP credits for first take that's why I think he has a huge say on the topics and more importantly the rotating panelists who appear on the show....obviously espn chooses who to give a contract to or pay appearance fees for but I guess Stephen A can invite anyone he want to "his" show
Still it's unbelievable that ESPN would pay a Stephen A type talent if you can call what he does talent 18mil and up....makes you wonder what they agreed with shannon sharpe contract wise
Yup.
People dont want to admit it, especially in my community, how similar to Skip Stephen A really is... They have almost identical personalities with different deliveries. I cant stand watching Skip but its undeniable how much hes done for the black community behind the scenes, even Prime acknowledged it on live TV when he gave props and a hug to Skip and told him he loved him. Stephen A tries SO hard to preach about how much he has done and is doing for the black community, but you never hear it from anyone elses mouth. Brother knows hes in the 1% living in a gated community but he is so insecure about his blackness he finna lie about the impact he has behind the scenes, its nauseating. When Max started getting more respect as a man more in tune with the streets than Stephen A, he couldnt handle it. You could literally see the hate in his face all the time.
@TRDarnell man I got sick of Stephen A and the weed stick
He’s 73, had a great career run. He’s good either way I’m sure
The Stephen A ozempic shot is hilarious lol
You can only play the heel for so long. Eventually, the heel will hit the ground.
Huh ?
So youre saying skip's face turn is coming at summerslam next week?
@@williamboyle8918 if you truly didn’t get that I can explain. I’m not a troll, unlike Skip. 😂
@@hrs1414 that would be hilarious 😂
He did it for like 30 years wtf are yal saying dude is 73 years old, all of these talking heads killing skip would kill their mother to have a career as long and successful as his
This must be Dan's favorite day ever he gets to talk politics and sports media
I care about this info. I like seeing an insider give their take from a different network
I don't think Skip Bayless is humble enough to go back to ESPN
I’ve not heard one word mentioned of him wanting to go back to ESPN, so I don’t even know why this is an issue??
Same. All I hear is people telling him he's not welcome at ESPN when he never even asked and most likely never would have. It feels kinda petty
Why would they want to bring him back anyways
They don't want him back.
No one wants him back because they are afraid of him.
Bron outlasted his biggest hater. What a GOAT.
Skip should grab a spot on one of these summer league teams. He was a cold as PG in HS. Ask Jalen Rose he’ll tell you.
Water pistol peet 😅😂
It is funny how Jalen Rose did not do First Take after that show until Skip was gone from there. Skip is a big baby who can dish out but can`t take it.
I stopped watching anything skip in on a long time ago
I would be happy if all those shows went away for good no one wants to hear about the Lakers and Cowboys 365 days a year.
Putting a skip with three young black former players made him look really white and really old
Yeah, relying on Keyshawn Johnson or Richard Sherman to replace Shannon was a fool's errand. I guess Skip thought he was the STAR!🌟
this is why i love dan as a journalist his sports media talk gets annoying but he’s the only who’s said for years the game is passing skip by and that’s what’s happening
The game will miss skip, when people get tired of sports media figures getting glazed by and placating to whiny athletes.
Skip’s been on tv for 20 years has made millions. Dan wasn’t right. Everyone’s run ends eventually
The history of sports media will not be kind to Skip Bayless
i disagree. if anything, i think the as more time passes and Skip is out of the spotlight history will look favorably upon him. He is a true OG of the sports media space, if not THE founding father. What he was able to establish and maintain for nearly 3 decades, across multiple generations of sports fans cannot be denied. Yes most of us couldnt bare to listen to his takes by the end but he truly set the platform that all of our favorite shows and sports personalities now sit on. When he passes on you'll see the overwhelming support poor in from literally everyone in the space - including Stephen A and Shannon. He will be more remembered as a pioneer and visionary than an obnoxious, loud mouth buffoon.
He’s literally the pioneer of sports debate tv 😂
He founded this era he’s doing just fine
He literally created a genre, he's a bit of a trailblazer like it or not
For people saying he's a pioneer of this genre, that's not something to raise him up for. It's the worst thing to happen to sports & why most players hate these fickle, tabloid headline & click chasers.
Skip was the Morton Downey Jr of sports talk.
Max Kellerman to Undisputed
I have the same thoughts
@@Vichinsky-ox8px Bring back Max and Marcellus! We ride again at dawn!
Max has gone dark
I wouldn't want to watch Marty either.loll😅
I wonder if Wayne is still going to be on Undisputed on Fridays when Skip is gone, or is his contract tied into Skip's.🤔
Skip is a legend and if he doesn't get any praise going out then it shows how low other analysts go to get ahead and fail to recognize greatness. Stephen a is on skips show without skip and skips former analyst shannon. He showed them the ways and ESPN of talk tv. Its not coincidence. People want to diminish him so they can feel like they master minded something they didnt.
Skip is a despicable human being,
Skip is great
You don’t know him as a human being
Ask Mike Fisher he'll tell u all u need to know about skip@@christianrapper5
"despicable"?? Wow! Easy there bud! You mofos are something else lmao
OK, his actions are despicable. is that any better Look up his history. I’m sorry it’s the way I feel I understand. It’s not everybody’s opinion.
LeBatard is thrilled about this.
He was never going back to begin with ....Skip hasnt said a word about any of this stuff its all just Stephen A yapping and talking about his #1 ratings vs literally no competition
He's a 70 year old man. He has been in the business for 40+ years. Him retiring is no shame.
Don't feel sorry for Skip. He has enough money to retire well.
When skip openly admitted he hired paul Pierce just because he hates goat james i knew he wasn't going to last😂😂😂
When he say that?
@@DavidWilliams-wr9xv do your research 🤣😭 then you'll find out kid
Shannon told Stephen A and the rest of Earth that he wanted to put his hands on Skip multiple times while on Undisputed.
So I have no interest in seeing Skip and Shannon in the same room together, it's deeper than Stephen A and Skip's "beef".
Shannon is just an emotional baby.
5:45 correct First things First has sky rocketed and they just got extended for an extra 1 hr. FS1 know who is the new cash cow
Skip was a star in the 70s. Before most were born. He doesn't need young folks approval.
That dude has been employed in sports media since 1976. He won't go hungry.
Cant Wait to see Skip Bayless on Club Shay Shay
First Take's reruns on youtube had more viewers than Undisputed's live show. It wasn't even close as to which show was more watched.
Part of Skip's shtick was to be a troll and now it has run its course
Bayless exemplifies the Fox news business model of hateful journalism.
I grew up reading the Skip Bayless column in the Dallas Morning News sports section. Its been hard to grasp him as a video star with all this drama. He was an enjoyable read. Looked forward to his articles.
Gross…
Skip Bayless and Max Kellerman should start "The Outcasts Podcast" and invite sports personalities/atheletes as guests that have been shunned and/or were controversial and rip "the system".
I love how Lebron outlasted him and Lebron never mentioned his name not even once. It must hurt.
Exactly. 😂😂Tom Brady never mentioned him either despite Skip meat riding him all these years.😂😂😂
Skip now realizes he's been Norma Desmond all along....
Skip is a trend setter and a legend. Forever a sports icon!
About time! Hopefully this will be the end of Skip's career. Hopefully Smith is next.
Skip will now have the time needed to do Ernestine doggy on his granite counter top while Hazel watches.
Jerry Jones got him fired for throwing away the Cowboys jersey
😂
It's remarkable to think Rick Bayless, the chef, is his brother.
Great comment, and a really interesting point. I have his brother’s cookbook - and it’s terrific!
Skipp being gone is a W for everybody. Now get rid of race-baiting Stephen A. Smith and just let sportscenter run on loop and we'll be in business
Skip is 72 yrs old. Needs to retire. Live the rest of his life in peace. He has worked long hours @ a lot of strain work & wife. Without work, he can actually enjoy his wife.
I'm not a Skip Bayless fan but is there any indication that he wanted to go to ESPN? I think people are making a story where there isn't one. He has his own platform so I just figured he'll dive into that 100%.
I was always surprised that Skip didn’t get them hands sometimes when he did his personal attacks
Now I hope they Get rid of Stephen A. It’s his time his heads got way to big and he just yells way to much for no reason.
Since Fox is throwing out the garbage can they can Alexi Lalas now as well?
He's part of the good ole boy system over there plus he wears his racism on his sleeves,the higher ups at FOX Corp do love that in their pundits cos at the very least they are lightning rods...they've also deluded themselves to believe that when the casual US futbol fan watches their channel they look for Alexis Lalas to give their pre and post game credibility
Skip ceased be relevant 5 years ago. He needs to wander off into retirement.
Skip is and always was a bum! Fox backed the wrong man!!!!!
Angel court side in London last night, I am thinking someone on Team USA has been given a game to prove their fitness, but Angel told to stay close.
Can someone be called into Olympic squad as injury replacement still?
He will show up on Netflix or something like that to do a live debate show
I never knew that people sounding worse than glass breaking were worth watching or listening to.
I would drink a "8" beer to not having him around anywhere
Troy ..we salute you
Love ur show
If ESPN does not want Skip, it means that they will overpay for SAS. Sucks for ESPN.
Yall keep saying that, but they’re still #1 by every tv metric. Clearly someone is watching lol
@@Los150There are only two national sports debate shows in that time slot though.😁
Skip going with Cam and Mase is the move…. That would be hella entertaining and they will have great chemistry…
Nah
@@mattreyes1026 sorry it’s a yea bro.. relax
Skip literally ruined sports talk he was the first to build a career trolling an athlete and now you see so many do the same thing
Dan, phase 1 complete.. Now, Steven A. Don't feel sorry now. The enemy's downfall is never funny but very necessary 👏🏾
I miss the old Skip. If not for Cold Pizza with Dana, that other guy, Woody and Skip, I wouldn't bother with anything like this. I miss those days.
Skip did not make Steven A. and Shannon. He gave each an opportunity to showcase their talent. Had to correct you, Dan...
He definitely made Shannon post football. SA at least had a journalism background but Shannon would not be on tv without Skip. He definitely jump started his post football career in media.
@@IllbeontopShannon was on CBS before he joined Skip.
@@scrapcrumbs nobody cared about Shannon once a week on Sunday. How many of the athletes you see on CBS turn up anywhere outside of Sunday football?
@Illbeontop ok so make another sas and Shannon?
@@ShawnReed-ny1hd okay Jay Z, I can see you didn’t even read my comment cause I said nothing about Skip making SAS. Reading comprehension is underrated and we should comprehend before speaking IMO. 🤷🏾♂️
You gotta love these nobody's on Twitter getting chesty on a guy that's been in the media spotlight over 50 years..
Settle down sons, settle down...
Black people do not care about Skip Bayless. Very happy, leave already. It’s about time.
No need to be all racist Rodney
@@timothysztaba437 love how people dont know what racism means. It's so hilarious. hahahahaha, whatever you guys think youre doing, youre not.
is that so? because you can literally watch a clip of Prime on national TV thanking Skip for all he's done for the BLACK community, giving him a hug and telling him he loves him in front of numerous cheering black fans. You can hate on Skip all you want but the reality is he was raised by a black woman and has done more for the black community in the sports media space than any other person in the industry, and this is a well known fact. I cant stand Skip or his takes but he has been great to the black community. Just because people finna glaze Shannon, even though the brother can at times be equally as disrespectful and obnoxious, it doesnt mean Skip is vilified by our entire community. That's just for you and the ignorant. Now get up and wipe Unc off your lips.
He tried to get us by bringing on lil wayne but that didn't work
Relying on Keyshawn Johnson or Richard Sherman to replace Shannon was a fool's errand. I guess Skip thought he was the STAR!
I disagree. Skip does a nice podcast without bull sheet co-panelists and just talks sports. If does that he should be fine.
Skip has a podcast and it’s awful
Go look at the views on that podcast, no one watches it.
Nah… he’s still Skip. It would be awful.
If they got rid of Stephen A and Scott Bayless it would be all for the best best. Bayless is a racist and everyone saw it when he shouted and screamed at Shannon Sharp. Skip's show was down the drain when he showed his colors with his nasty attitude towards Shannon.
These polarizing sports talk characters are essential for the health and development of sports in general. They get eyes on the sports and interest in the stars, etc. If there was nothing but straightforward monotone sportscasting in news report format, sports would have half the attention it does today. I don't know why so many people forget, this isnt about whos got the most popular opinion, whos right or wrong, who is the most likeable, or anything else like that. Its about getting asses in the seats and eyes on the screen. Thats it. Literally nothing more. The fact that we're here listening and commenting on it is all part of it. People take this stuff way too seriously.
"Its only entertainment" - Greg Graffin
The viewers rejected Skip. Tired of his shtick.
Sports media doesn’t need Skip. Not for nothing, it doesn’t need Stephen A either. Also, Skip didn’t “make” anyone, he shared his platform.
Skip destroyed Undisputed with what he did to Shannon because he wanted to prove a point. He sacrificed the good thing he had going for his pride and need to always win an argument to feed his schtick and getting clicks. His ego always outweighs true freindships. He did it to himself.
Just stop. The man is in his 70s and did more than most will ever do in his profession. Great job, Skip.
With all these contracts expiring Fox or espn should just put skip and Charles Barkley together and call the show heat of the moment or hate in your blood and call it a day
Ok.Got respect for Skip.Somewhere he needs to not blame shift for what has happened. It's important that he understands his role in all this.When we are at fault, thats it.Nothing to talk about
They did, Dan. That’s a great call out. I can’t stand to hard;y watch “sports talk” anymore because of the culture they have created.
Trolling lebron & Rodgers got old quick
Two of the biggest whiners.
Not quick enough
It literally lasted for 2 decades
He was right about Rodgers on many things though. Lebron hating was just sad.
People like Skip Bayless career is over. Bro he is 72 not in his 40's he's been on radio and television for decades. He is a mult millionare so I think he will be fine.
Yeah skip will be back on espn before the super bowl. Remember this comment
Remember espn got rid of max and wanted Stephen a & skip back then skip stayed at fox
Skip will be back once his contract is up
There will be no
Reunion. Everyone was tired of Skip’s act and are kicking his back in.
Skip never said he wanted to go back to Espn. How u gonna reject me when i never inquired about u
Somebody who hates Skip just driving that narrative
Skip is worth 17 million he had a long great career. He is 72 years old and he is going to UA-cam like the rest of people so he can choose his own content.
Skip Bayless just reminds me of a younger Mad Dog on First Take.
Preachy,dry humor and behind the times of the atmosphere today.
Throwing insults at his co hosts made them move on. Skip always acts like he has a right to say the things he says. Co hosts do not have to be made by him. Skip owns No One.
Skip being done forever would be the best thing to happen in sports media in a long time. Also FS1 seems to have failed to rival ESPN outside of Shannon coming to relevance and oh wait he's at ESPN now lol Which is all wild because ESPN ain't what it use to be either
So I will say… for a time, skips gimmick was fantastic, I was a fan, while a little batshit crazy, it worked, and most importantly, it was different. With so many dry personalities in sports, he created a new format, and just offered something different. And different is usually good, but not forever. Even as a former fan, he got old, that format got old, and everything about it just wore out its welcome. It always had a shelf life on it, and now it has mold on it and needs to be thrown in the trash. He had a great run, great career… but it’s time to hang it up. If Skip was smart, he’d start something like the volume and run it behind the scenes. And make a very rare appearance.
He sometimes used personal attacks to vent his frustrations and was dishonest on several occasions concerning his own personal accomplishments. I’m surprised he lasted this long.
The bosses had enough of Skippy. They had enough. How much were they gonna take?
The Realest and most hardworking person i have ever seen...Skip "drip" Bayless
If Skip happens to find a fun and knowledgeable partner to talks sports and banter with, I will still watch his show. I just don't want him monologuing and he needs to find a nice producer so that he can expand the topics they can talk about. But since he didn't really make friends and maintained friendship with the athletes he has worked with, it will be a problem.
Also, I'd rather watch Skip than that show that took First Things First's original time slot.
I think it’s hilarious this video has nearly three times the views of the trio of “Hill takes on politics” clips
I think these guys are all terrible if you ask me. They all talk about Lebron, nba and nfl. They know nothing else. Get new talent man. These old heads speak the same way and their narrative never changes. Like I said it’s either Lebron, nba, or nfl.
Skip could do a show strictly about the cowboys and prevail.
Skip Bayless was to reserved on this version of Undisputed
I know Paul Pierce saved the Undisputed online views because I started watching the show again when he popped up, but did that not translate to TV ratings for the as well?
Fox regrets choosing Skip over Shannon & now they are paying the price. Bearly a year after it happened. Talk about eggs on their face.
Skip had his chance to return 4 years ago. He joined fox.
