Although this is pretty true, Skip is a talented writer. Maybe the will have him writing some for the website as well.

Just makes me wonder how much these other sports personality types are making.

Skip's brother is also one of the world's best chefs.

I guess he got all the talent.

Witlock, Cowherd, Clay Travis and Bayless; good god why would anyone watch that network?


I honestly don't get the Clay Travis hate. Yeah he trolls occasionally, but it is stuff like you would see on tRant.

He's also written some very smart stuff since going to Fox.

He did periscopes during last season's CFB season that were way more entertaining than any of the actual TV coverage. He's a funny guy. He told a story about his wife's free fake tits on the radio in Memphis a couple of weeks ago that was hilarious.

He's just way too much into the "pop culture" side of sports for me. Hardly any of these guys should even be called sports commentators, journalists, etc. There shows/acts seem more appropriate for E! Network or MTV than a sports channel.

Good for Skip. I remember reading something that he is a sad/weird guy with like zero friends and orders the same five sandwiches and chinese meals for the upcoming week.

Hendo, you usually take a pretty liberal approach to things...I'm surprised to see this reaction

No he's not sad, everyone reading that story about him taking First Take extremely seriously and eating the same Chinese chicken and broccoli with white rice everyday thought it was sad.

Remember when everyone thought FS1 was going to be the ESPN killer by showing "real" sporting news and analysis.

I tried to tell people they'd just copy the industry leader but I didn't think it'd be this bad. The only original program they have that gives them any kind of positive recognition is Katie Nolan and she comes on at midnight once a week.

Answered your own question. I've seen multiple Travis pieces that literally looked copy/pasted from a message board.

Everyone was so excited about FS1, so excited that they forgot to watch.

And if those pieces actually upset you then you should probably do a bit of self evaluation.
