Why does Skip Bayless always say something makes him "sick at his stomach"? Why?

This is the kind of "reporting" I really hate:
ESPN wrote:JOHNNY MANZIEL NAMED PERMANENT STARTER
The Browns will start Manziel at quarterback for the remainder of the season, according to ESPN's Adam Caplan and multiple reports. The move was first reported by Fox Sports.
No, not according to ESPN's Adam Caplan. According to Fox Sports, IT SAYS SO IN THE NEXT SENTENCE OF YOUR STORY.

Although they probably should have said "ESPN's Adam Caplan confirmed an earlier report by Fox Sports", the whole desire to claim that you broke something first is something that really needs to go away. In the age of Twitter, competing reporters can get the same scoop within seconds of each other, and it all comes down to who's quicker typing out the tweet. Jay Glazer in particular can get really whiny about this.

Chris Bermans death, devoid of mention of the thousands of sexual harassment lawsuits brought against him, will be great.

The best thing about Chris Berman's death will be that Chris Berman won't be around to eulogize him.

He is the absolute worst. His routine is just so tired and obnoxious. At least someone like Skip is obnoxious on purpose.

I agree, and I tend to think the people at ESPN probably feel the same way. But what are they gonna do, fire him?

Is he the only charter member of ESPN left, or is Bob Ley still around?
