Does Skip Bayless really have Sources?

[Red Money]

People clowned Chris Broussard for years with his "sources report blah blah blah"

But who the hell be talking to skip!??? I think he guesses based on his knowledge of sports organizations and the norms that indicate if everything is good or bad. Colin Cowherd guesses too....but we do know former coaches and players talk to cowherd so he does have credibility.

Skip's source for the Packers is inebriated Lil Wayne, lol.

Skip's Lamar Jackson source was vick...but turns out vick was exaggerating his communication with Lamar to stay relevant, lol.

Skip been a Sports Journalist since the 70s. Of course he has sources

I don’t think so.

He is loathed within the sports industry.

No one has a relationship with him.

 

[Street Knowledge]

Nah There’s like a literal handful of people that have legit sources and everyone else just dikk rides those guys.

My favorite tweets are the “I’m just confirming what insert guy XYZ broke 5 mins ago” lol

His brother Rick is a world famous chef

So at the very least, we know he has access to a lot of sauces

At best Skip may have secret communications with Tom Brady that Shannon Sharpe is not even Privy....And Maybe Skip told Ernestine.

I think Skip agreed to not acknowledge communication with Tom...can't imagine any other Tampa source and wouldn't surprise me if that leaks long after Tom retires.

You don't necessarily have to a relationship with someone in the sports industry for them to leak you information for their own agenda.

Remember the NFL themselves have used SAS on more than one occasion to leak information to the public in their favor and he doesn't have those NFL connections like that.

I was just about to say this he's been around forever. It's crazy to think he has no sources.

Not really. Skip and his brother don't get along.

I’m not saying this isn’t true, but people do not like skip Bayless.

When is the last time he has broken a story?

Having sources doesn't always have to require breaking a story. It can be literally just be passing along information or rumors that you heard through the grapevine.

Even then, Skip is more so a television personality these days rather than a journalist IMO and isn't in the trenches as he used, but doesn't mean that he still can't have sources.

this is all I said. He doesn’t have sources any more because he doesn’t need to.

Journalists have sources and check in to learn new things. Skip goes on TV and shares his crazy opinions.

Going by that logic, would you still consider someone like SAS still a journalist these days then?

 

[AJtheOne]

No one likes Skip in the sports industry. Plus all he does is go to work and go home. Watch the games etc.

So no he doesn’t have sources, he’s not a news breaking journalists so he doesn’t really need to have sources. His style is giving opinions and trolling

SAS is actually reporting and breaking stores once he leaves first take. He is also out making connections with people. Skip does none of that.

SAS ain’t what he was 10 years ago and is fringe at best, but he still a journalist. Skip has been done for 15 years.
