So Fox Sports is basically turning into ESPN


Fox Sports will be the WCW of the mid 90s and ESPN the WWF.

We, the people of the msb, only watch ESPN during live games, so we don't care.

Skip was very good at his role there, I don't watch first take but knew about his "opinions" because someone would start a thread here about it GOAT Troll

One of these guys has no business being mentioned with the other two.


ESPN is going to be fine and rolling and ruling Sports Programming. People predicted the downfall when the original crew left, when the 3rd crew left, and now.

@richarddeitsch
Good source at ESPN tells me Bayless is looking at $5 million or so per year with Fox. (Related: Enjoy your day.)

Do you blame Disney for not paying that figure when they can find another writer to step in?

Nobody watches FS1. A mid-day block of Cowherd and Bayless/Whitlock debate show isn't helping them.

They also refuse to play ball with stuff like slingtv

One thing ESPN has done right is sign up with sling

But it took WCW over paying for WWF talent to get them on top. Once those bloated contracts ruined WCW, WWF was back on top.

People keep telling me FS1 is going to overtake ESPN. Meanwhile I can't even find them on the channel listing.

They may not play ball with sling. However, Fox Sport is on playstation vue. That is a much better product than sling.

Wherever Skip goes I will follow. Skip had to get away from that egomaniac Stephen A.

I love Skip because I know what his shtick is all about. He does that very well.
