It seems that no matter what newsworthy topic is floating around the sports industry, Skip Bayless’s name is attached to in some way. His name is usually connected to sports news because he takes already extreme opinions to a whole new level. The reason for this, which may be more fact than simply my personal opinion, is that Skip Bayless is a fraud.
The fact that Skip Bayless is considered a sports journalist should be insulting to anybody who has any association to the field. In a time where journalism ethics are unclear at best, Bayless takes it a step further by blatantly lying. Don’t believe me? If you haven’t already seen it, check out Jalen Rose calling out Bayless for lying.

So what is Skip Bayless really? Basically, Skip Bayless is a glorified sports talk radio host (if you don’t know that a majority of sports talk radio hosts simply take the opposite opinion of the masses in an attempt to get angry rebuttals from callers, then you are living quite a sheltered life). He’s not an analyst. He’s on an ESPN morning television talk show. You know, sort of like The View, just sports instead.
Everything he says is in an effort to drive ratings, just like talk radio. The show is during a time when many people are at work or in school. So Bayless and his friends at ESPN have to make some noise somehow, which is exactly where Skip and his overly biased views come in. I think you could go as far to say that even ESPN notices this. How can you tell? When is Skip Bayless ever on during primetime? When guys are good on television, they get promoted to better times. Bayless has been in the same time slot for as far back as I can remember.
That reason is exactly why ESPN is losing respect in the eyes of many. ESPN is biased. ESPN is only looking out for their own interests, not the interest of looking out for the masses like they lead you to believe. Skip Bayless is essentially doing the same exact thing. Skip Bayless is a fraud.
Skip Bayless is truly a polarizing figure. What is your opinion about him? We want to know!
