It would be pretty funny if he goes to Fox and they team him with Stephen A's nemesis Jason Whitlock at 10:00am EST.

I can't believe we are at a time and place where that guy is being offered 5 million dollars to do anything.
Saying a bunch of outrageous shit keeps drawing eyeballs.
That there are eyeballs drawn to him astonishes me.

I blame Ruddo for this.

Edit: By "this" I mean Skip getting $5 million to be Skip.

You underestimate the numbers of the typical sports fan. But Bayless even drags in the atypical ones that demonstrate just how illogical his statements are. That's why the best way to deal with him is to just follow Paul Anka's guarantee (unless you live in Tennessee).

I have successfully avoided Skip Bayless for years. I guess that can continue with him at Fox. His popularity to me is on par with Trump's. I understand it, but it's not for me.

Wow, ESPN lost Mike Tirico and Brad Nessler.

Two of the more quality broadcasters that they've ever had.

Not a fan of Tirico after reading about all of his sexual harassment allegations.

It's really weird what happens to a lot of these guys that get semi-famous and were just nerdy journalists before that. Tirico's definitely one of many.
