As a cowboy fan.. loved every minute of the dynamic and Skips delusional takes. Helped me get the delusional cowboy fan over to my friends. Skip should have never disrespected Unk tbh but this is where we live now not the past. Good riddance for the sour taste in our mouths! We can take a guess at what happened to First Take after seeing how Skip and Shan ended!

[@Hationor]

I remember when I first watched Skip and Stephen A in which I didn't care much for Stephen A because of his personality, so when Skip left ESPN and went to Undisputed and brought in Uncle Shay I loved listening to their NFL banter and was sad when Uncle Shay left I tried to watch the new Undisputed and couldn't for it wasn't the same. Couldn't watch Stephen A with Uncle Shay because of Stephen A's personality.

[@craigbeasley2959]

Being more pissed off at Stephan a than skip bayless is a wild take. Skip never achieved any form of athletic accomplishment. Skip literally told a hall of famer he never did anything in the league. Stephen a at least played in college.

[@Hationor]

@@craigbeasley2959 I never said I was pissed at Stephen A. I just said I don't like him because of his personality. See when Skip talks you can hear his passion and is able to tell right away that's how he truly feels unlike Stephen A who constantly sounds like he's reading a script

Undisputed was and still is my favorite sports debate show of all time. Never have I seen two men debate sports on television as they did. I’m a Steelers fan and I have been watching Steelers since the mid nineties and when ravens and Steelers became a rivalry it was awesome to watch two teams go blow for blow. That is what skip and Shannon were for me. I have tried watching skip and Shannon after Shannon left and I don’t think either one is the same. Now, if I do watch skip or Shannon, I only watch old clips from Shannon and skip.

[@LoreFinder92]

I’ll always appreciate Skip and especially watching him get trolled weekly for his Cowboys.

Whatever Skip does, let's just all hope, for once in his life, he decides to do it quietly.

That would be an interesting video to watch. Even the commentators called him out immediately after that play that encapsulated Cam's legacy.

Meanwhile, kobe has his failures like not getting to the playoffs, just like skip. In the long run, kobe had the better split...maybe skip can rebound and get became great again, like kobe did.
