I can't believe Skip Bayless has lasted this long. It's not like he develops good relationships with athletes.

[–] MitchLGC@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He doesn't need to. He generates big numbers. As long as people continue to care about Skip he will have a job.

I remember they dedicated a whole segment the next episode on what Jalen said. Jalen was on for the next episode and then never seen again

bayless as a 1970s journalist was supposedly good but man the dude went full troll when he went into television lol

That is Skip's MO.

For those who weren’t around when this happened, there is context missing from a lot of the comments here about misinterpretation—Jalen going after him was in response to many things the preceded this interview, which is why he was ready to pounce. It wasn’t just about that comment and what Skip did or did not actually mean. It’s more

If anything they should’ve had him on more

Bomani Jones was also banned because he completely murdered him. Bomani kept taking it easy on him and at one point he was like, “I’m way more smarter than this monkey. Let me just squish him” apparently Skip didn’t like it and that was that.
