Katie Nolan will be the first big talent to jump ship to ESPN. Especially now with their whole feminist movement

That man single handedly made me quit watching ESPN back in 2011 (Tebowmania).
Good luck FS1

At $5.5 million per year (plus that signing bonus), Bayless earns more money per year than, according to Spotrac, all but: 

49 NHL players 
112 NBA players 
197 NFL players 
198 MLB players


I get that it is a ton of money, but am I supposed to be appalled at the fact nearly 200 baseball and football players make more than $5.5M per year?



I mean that doesn't exactly put it into perspective. I'm actually surprised that many in each league make more. I'm sure I could have guessed that if I thought about it (salary cap and amount of teams, etc.), but at first glance it actually seems high.

It just makes no sense to me. In a few years we'll get all these stories about how fs1 was a huge financial disaster for Fox and everyone will act appalled that they weren't able to challenge ESPN.

I think a lot Skip's "fans" are just people who like sports and don't have jobs during the day. I don't think that demographic travels to fs1

Damn, what a beast

I'm not a fan by any means, but anyone who just calls him an idiot with no talent and actually takes him seriously on First Take

Dude is laughing all the way to the bank by not giving a crap if people think he's an idiot

You could tell he legitimately felt an idiot that time Jalen Rose clowned him so bad they don't let Jalen on First Take anymore.

Skip is very smart... Getting great coin now... The only problem I ever had with him was when he would suck StevenA's arse when it came to Steven A's race issues. He would Suck his arse instead of REALLY debating him on a race topic... He would always fold....

He's very smart. His writing is very articulate and structured. Just a top notch troll ala Ole Yeller

The only reason I watch Espn is because they own the SEC network and more often than not LSU plays on one of their channels. Frick espn though, they should keep their nose out of political shite

Deitsch thinks she ends up with Simmons at the ringer/HBO and I agree.

Horowitz wants fs1 to be the Fox News of sports. A lot of people think ESPN is too liberal.

Good point. I remember a few months ago Steven A hosted a sports center by himself and everyone was blown away with how good he was.

Serious question, Does anybody watch fox sports content? Or listen to them on radio? I don't and it's been amazing. Cowturd has just completely disappeared to me, as will bayless. It's fantastic. Next up, go hire Danny kannel and jamele hill.
