[@daveyellick6685]

Honestly the thing that bothered me the most about Skip wasn’t his debate tactics or overly confrontational approach, it was that he never changed his takes on anything even after being demonstrably proven wrong. He would say something obviously wrong, have his guests prove him wrong, have his team/player prove him wrong, and then come back the next day and make some excuse for why he was still technically correct. It’s ok to be wrong, you just can’t keep being wrong about the same topic forever.

[@ХорхеГарсия-э5е]

No, no he did change some of them... when they contradicted each other. As in, he hates LeBron (that's well documented), he hated Kawhi when he left the Spurs, going as far as to go an entire season mostly calling him by his number and not his name. Now, when Kawhi went to the Clippers and Lebron to the Lakers so they would be direct rivals nor only in Conference but city he immediately backtracked and started to gargle Leonard's ballsack almost more than when he was a Spur.

People talking about things they don't know anything about. Yelling, overreacting for no reason, etc. That is not Mike and the Maddog. That's Stephen A, Skip, Turrico, Shannon, Kellerman, Wright, Wilbon, Kornheiser, etc

One of my favorite quotes about change comes from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, when Shaun talks about the study of history. "History is the study of change, change means life. When everything's static...that means it's dead."

The end of your video... You are absolutely correct. The National media is not worth watching/listening. Its always NY/LA/CHI. They dont credit the other markets and want them to fail. I'd much rather watch a YT creator because they actually care, and are much more entertaining. Go Browns! (It's okay you make fun of our QB. We do too, but if we win, we win!) Shout Out to our own Browns supporters Quincy Carter, Joey Ricotone!

I liked "Sports Shouting" on 30 Rock much more than anything with Skip

God... Sports media is worse than financial media. And that's saying something.

The Brendon Pernas of the KZbin world is where all the interesting sports commentary is happening now because they provide diverse, genuine content that goes beyond the sensationalism pioneered by figures like Skip Bayless. Bayless, once a respected journalist, shifted to creating polarizing hot takes that prioritized controversy over substance, transforming sports media into a spectacle of contrived debates. His departure is more a symptom of the bigger sports media companies failing to adapt to changing audience preferences. However, the decline of his show and the rise of independent creators highlight a shift towards more authentic and varied perspectives. People like Perna cater to a niche audience hungry for insightful and entertaining analysis, marking the end of an era dominated by personalities like Bayless and signaling a different future for sports media.

I'd just like to say, First things first with kevin Wildes, Chris Broussard, and Nick Wright, is truly a top teir show between friends and a great production team. They actually have good analysis about the sports they talk about. And the proof lies in that their KZbin channel is growing and their TV time just got increased from 1.5 hours to 2 starting Monday

The timing of this video couldn’t possibly be better.

[@bballc1211]

Skip is not a Cowboys fan. Skips character is that of a “typical Cowboys fan”.

[@howyoudurrinhunneh]

I've never been able to stand anyone mentioned in this video

[@timothykatch1855]

Outstanding coverage as usual. Thank you Sir

[@rosschirstopher]

I cannot listen to Skip, he is simply contrarian to be contrarian.

[@oldgregghomie5]

Finally a shot from something I worked on made it in a video career moment right there.

[@cmorris9494]

That is indeed good sports if he was fired.

[@mikecurry213]

I wonder if Skip ever realized what a negative impact he had on Tebow's career.

[@leonconnelly5303]

He did he just didn't care
