and watched by more than anyone else. He is a homerun for ESPN. I wonder how much they pay him. He's gotta be worth $20 million a year. He carries the morning hours for ESPN. Not because people like him but because he gets people to watch ESPN just to watch his debates.

but I like Skip Bayless. He is paid to be the devil's advocate and he argues points that I dont even think he agrees with. He is paid to be a jackass. If you look at Skip like I do, purely entertainment, him being a dumbass is ok. I use to crack up every time he would freak out about TO or "team obliterater" as he called him. And yes I thought Jalen calling his dumb *** out was funny as well

he hates Stephen A. Smith and he gets under Stephen's skin more than anyone else can.

if you can call it that is because he says such outlandish things that he makes the sports fan that really isn't that smart of a sports fan feel smart.

I think he's a sell out, and I would hate to stoop to that level. Because it wouldn't be my true thoughts. It would almost be like me acting.

He first made his name by claiming that Troy Aikman was gay without any proof whatsoever. That pretty much says it all right there.

He talks like he knows every damn thing when I actually think your average sports an knows more than he does. And they are both paid sinful amounts of jack to do what they do

I love watching skip. Like dawg 61 said, my main reason for liking him is his rivalry with Smith. I can't stand that sob

...but he's extremely interesting. He can shoehorn 5 different topics into a 15 minute segment and also give you a side dish of social opinion. He is a master at what he does.

The one guy that makes me turn the channel on ESPN radio is Mark Schlereth. He absolutely despises fans. Listen to him talk about people who approach him want to talk about his playing days. His loathing for general fandom is shocking.

i've been working from home a couple months now, and usually have espn on in the background. skip bayless amkes me appreciate steven a smith. at least smith brings some rationale to his arguments if you can get past his annoying voice/yelling thing (skip does the same thing though, so tomato/tomahto). if there was anything else on for a little background noise, i'd take it, but there isn't another option really during their time slot. dan patrick at 11, but that's still an hour of first take. i just hate hate hate someone selling out their credibility on some stupid viewpoint just to play devil's advocate. it's dumbing **** down to the lowest commond enominator instead of engaging in a legit debate or discussion.skip's unbearable when it comes to tebow and pretty much the sole reason i can't wait for tebow to completely fail.
