Official Skip Bayless last show on ESPN Appreciation or Unappreciation Thread

[Frump]

Listened to a few clips on YouTube from 1st and 10 and then early first take shows from around 2007 and while it's only few minute clips Skip doesn't sound anything like the schtick machine he turned into.

For people who listened since the beginning when did Skip take on this character? Was it when sas became a permanent co host?

What time in the day is FS1 playing on using Bayless if they paying all this money is he gonna go head to head in the mornings with FT or do more of an evening slot where FS1 needs as many eyeballs as they can get?

Good question. Does FS1 even have an app like ESPN Radio??

If it wasn't for that Tebow shyt, dude wouldn't have been relevant at all.

Players played in the NBA before Jordan, the league is what it is today because of him tho.

Just take the L and move on bruh, you said there would be no debate shows and ESPN been had them. First take did nothing for PTI or ATH and they were popular way before FT was. Before SAS came back FT was teetering on cancellation which is why Skip begged ESPN to bring him back.

fukk skip. went out like a scorned hoe. I would respect him 100 times more if he give LeBron credit when credit was due.

whos replacing skip?

As the hourglass in Skip Bayless’s tenure at First Take dwindles to its final specs of sand, The Big Lead has learned that ESPN has whittled its succession plan down to three names: Max Kellerman, Jorge Sedano, and Will Cain. An ESPN spokesperson declined to comment.

Kellerman appears to be management’s first choice and the job is therefore his to turn down. However, Kellerman has good gigs – SportsNation with Michelle Beadle and Marcellus Wiley, a local radio show with Wiley, and HBO boxing (which is usually a quick to commute to Vegas) – in Los Angeles. Though he grew up on the East Coast, it goes without saying that the weather is nicer where he is now.

Breh, Skip had a debate show with Wilbon back in the 90's on ESPN. Before ATH and PTI.

Jamel hill (feminist) vs Stephen A (believes in gender roles more than most these days) would be good for a little while.

Max & Stephen A has potential as well. Max would probably clown Stephen A a little too hard though...Stephen A would meltdown.

It's like a Skip Bayless trolling greatest hits clip.

Lebron Shade
Tebow nut-hugging
Pacquio would've beaten Mayweather without the torn rotator cuff
Can't WAIT to hear his 15 minute soliloquy on The Spurs

what about Cowboys delusion? and Brady ass licking?

I will give Skip this, he seems to be genuinely die-hard about basketball and football. Dude will tweet about games going til midnight-1:00 AM on the east coast when he probably has to get up at 5:00 - 6:00 AM the next day.

There would be no debate shows on ESPN if it wasn't for Skip.

Except The Sports Reporters started in 1996 & PTI, the highest rated show on ESPN started in 2001

You're acting like 5:30 PM is some type of great time slot.

This isn't a primetime vs daytime debate. There's more shows charting and charting higher in the daily (and the Live +7, for that matter) top 150 for cable airing 10 to 3, for example, than 3 to 6.

Son stop being stupid you get millions of kids who are in junior high school and high school and cats who are working that first take will never get in their ratings and since you have all this data post the top rated ESPN shows in the last quarter

Nah it was the moment Woodrow Paige bounced back to Denver and Skip started getting high ratings with any black muthafukka(2 live Stews, Jemele Hill, Michael Smith, Broussard) they could find it started with Barry Bonds and Mike Vick case, and T.O.

hopefully his show at FS flops and we don't hear from him again.
