He took the hot take and evolved it to a level never seen before, he is the MJ of this. Hot takes used to be used in headlines to get people to read a story. Skip was the first to create entire opinions that were hot takes. The rest of the media saw how he blew up and ran with his style. Now you have a bunch of sports writers trying to out hot take each other in every daily cycle. that's why everyday it's some ridiculous opinion being posted on the coli because this is the new game.

More like Fox News started it and others just followed suit. Skip did do it with sports though.

So you agree with the OP's post so why even try to refute it ur penis must be small

First of all, negged for meat watchin.

2nd, Fox News did start this nonsense.

Wasn't disagreeing with the homie @String Bell . he's right. Just saying that Faux news started this shyt overall.

Hot takes and also the fake arguments where two guys must take the opposite side in an argument.

The smart thing Skip did is sh1t on the best and/or most popular guys in each sport knowing it would get a reaction both ways

That’s why it’s always anti Lebron Mayweather and Rodgers

il tell you what th I when it was the wave to shyt on black athletes . skip was on the other side of c00n ass Stephen A. it was literally a white man defending black athletes to another black man. il give him credit he shut Stephen A up a few times and exposed his ass. I remember the day he let it be known Stephen A was goin easy on athletes just to get interviews . I still think him vs Woody Page was the goat show tho.

Skip and Bill Simmons fukked up the journalism game

Skip made the hot takes popular....and Bill made every dorky white dude think they could be a sports journalist without going to journalism school. So now u got dork after dork with no formal education typing up blogs saying dumbass shyt. Bill himself has provided some good stuff to the game though like 30 for 30.
