Skip Bayless Claps Back At Stephen A for "LYING" about First Take Ratings 

He did respond tho. It was literally the last part of this video lol. Secondly skip aint light nobody up. All he said was SAS never topped Monday night football ratings. Tf does that mean, if the FT ratings went up? Skip is the king of cherry picking misleading stats.

@@CRETRofdaNITE all that is cool..but I’m saying I don’t think he lying about the facts..and I didn’t hear a response

agreed

Yea that’s how it came across to me as well

How so? He basically said the show was struggling until he got there..then he made the show #1..

@@warriorscholar6633 ESPN wasn’t happy with the ratings and revenue it was generating and Skip asked Stephen A to come on the show. I remember in 2011-2012 that Stephen A was on the show on Wednesdays and people was anticipating the show every Wednesday. Stephen A and Skip's chemistry took the show to new heights. Stephen A was basically doing Skip a solid and it worked out great. He’s basically saying thank you to Skip without saying thank you.

@@icetray2727 LOL That's the narrative SAS was trying to sell..which is not accurate. The show saw drastic increase when it changed its format.. which just happened months before SAS joined full time.. it was already on the upswing because of the nee debate style..Then you say SAS did Skip a solid by joining the show when he wasn't working and wasn't going to be giving his own show?? More like Skip did SAS a solid by giving him a platform or opportunity he wouldn't otherwise have had.. Giving someone their flowers is not an indirect thing that is happenstance.. it's stopping and being very direct about your praise, appreciation and gratefulness.. SAS by no means did that in the clip

Nah. This is what Skip lives for, he created and was the catalyst for all of this. What SAS said discredited Skip.

He's saying that when Stephen A came onto the show, their ratings dropped when it came to MNF. Stephen A is changing his story. He basically insinuated that Skip begged him to join the show because it needed help and Skip just wasn't cutting it. Then. when confronted by Skip, said that Skip just wanted another permanent host, and chose him. It had nothing to do with ESPN not liking the numbers the show was getting. The statement he released is very different than the words he said in the interview.

Come on now 😂😂

Hell no

You smoking bbc if you think that

Hell no I’ll listen to Stephen any day before listening to Skip hate on Lebron and curry and favoritism to Jordan and Brady he don’t know how to be objective

Agree

no he didnt... stephen a is taking all the credit... SAS was fun to watch when he wasn't so arrogant... he's hard to watch now... skip built TWO hot take shows.. first take is pretty much unwatchable now

@@chriskim214 He didn’t? You lack comprehension skills then
