Skip (the master troll) Bayless is leaving ESPN in August

[the butch]

I actually like Skip and think he is very wise. His job didn't demand his talent though. He gave the people what ESPN wanted to give them.

I realized after reading through this thread that I actually watch nothing on ESPN unless there's a game of some sort on. 

None of their topical shows, talk shows, yell-scream-bitch-complain shows, draft shows, talking head shows.... none of 'em. And I feel so much better for it. 

And now I have time to go back and again read some of the classics I haven't read in 40 years or so. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Hemingway is my current read.

Agreed. PTI and sometimes Around the Horn and Highly Questionable are the only decent shows. NFL Live is a bunch of has-beens bitterly criticizing players who were better than they ever were. I admit though I was glued to First Take the day after we smacked the Cowbitches on Thanksgiving just so I could watch the shitshow Skip was gonna put on

That show has grown on me.   I find them entertaining.   You just can't let your opinions fuel your contempt.

 

Few will understand that though.   I get it.

I like Mike & Mike often because I am crunching numbers at 6:00 a.m and they are good enough. Pretty fluff.

Skip is just doing a dumb Schtick. I switch to anything else at 10:00.

His and Her's is one of the best. They are both really knowledgeable.

I like Skip. I record First take daily and it's the first thing I watch when I get home. To me he believes everything he says even though his opinion seems to garner a lot of hate

Sad to see Fox Sports abandoned the whole being original thing after a few of their shows failed and now are settling on being a ESPN clone.

Hopefully he's leaving to resume his position as a re-animated corpse footman serving challaces of virgin blood to his undead overlord in some haunted estate. Will not miss.

Skip doesn't even believe the things he says. It's all an act. First Take is scripted.

Sweet, now I can completely ignore that FS1 channel.

You weren't already?

Hilarious that some take everything he says seriously, and can't grasp that he is just an entertainer.

These are great:
