Leaving First Take to make a show with Shannon was the best decision Skip ever made. Skip and Shannon have legendary chemistry and Shannon is just such a good dude.

@alipepys4174 Год назад

I agree--but I recently rewatched some of the earlier Undisputed episodes, and honestly, Shannon's game is on a whole different level now.

@mattgarcia2519 Год назад

Skip was the only man smart enough to realize that Shannon needed to be unleashed on the world. He turned him into a sports TV icon within a few years.

Although, to be fair. His comment to Shannon was arguably more self reverential than anything. Saying the best compliment you can give to someone is that they can hold their own against you is like saying to somebody. "The best thing I can say about you is that on a good day, you remind me of me."

He finds people who are interesting and gives them a voice. He doesn't shy away from confrontation and tells athletes to their face how he really feels. (See: T.O. or Ochocinco's appearances on undisputed) Even his podcast has a different feel than his network shows and it is obvious how much effort he is putting into making it successful.

The reason I stared watching First Take is because of Skip now I watch Undisputed and not First Take

@SC-zn8lp Год назад

I love Skip bc he is a TRUE fan. He blindly loves the teams and the guys that he's a fan of, and he bashes all the rest- even the greatest. Isn't that exactly what a crazy sports obsessed fan does ??? But Shannon Sharpe is truly a great debater and analyst bc he's a true athlete and professional player that appreciates the greatness in every team and player across all the major sports . Great balance for each other. I see myself in Skip but I learn so much from Shannon who is also very funny ! Their show is something I never, ever miss. Skip, you're the best. Don't ever stop

@tronik229 Год назад

I always thought this day would come! And yes I always thought that Stephen would be the one to trigger it because of his narcissistic persona! Now here we are! Can't wait till 6/20/22 to see where this goes. But I think Stephen is not humble enough to take it anywhere but up!

@4:20." As Ernestine would testify, I am all about loyalty. I LEFT Stephen A because I needed a challenge." These two sentences back to back sums up Skip Bayless.

@xxMagicMike Год назад

When I listened to Steven A say that to be fair. He’s also seemed like a classic story liar and exaggerator who inserts himself into every story he tells, we all have them in our lives. So I’ve always written off stories he tells about himself the same way I do with my similar friend 3 beers in telling a story , and never accepted that or any stories he tells as truth. I imagine the iverson story where he rolled up with his boys looking for iverson and iverson said “it hurt coming from you” is also a lie

@RoyaltyGotHits Год назад

I definitely know what u mean but I’m not sure Stephen A would completely fabricate that story about Allen Iverson on camera for the world to see knowing that it could and would likely get back to Iverson. Pretty sure him and AI are still cool so I don’t think he would lie about an altercation with his own friend whilst knowing he could be caught and exposed for lying if and when it got back to Iverson.

@sejuanisupportonly7385 Год назад

Stephen A is like a severe case of Kenny Smith, where as the years pass by, Kenny, in his mind, thinks that he was more important for the Rockets than he really was. Unlike Kenny though, who has Barkley and Shaq on the same panel to ground him to reality ( and two rings for his actual achievements ), Stephen A. "I know this man like a brother" Smith has no rings in anything and noone to immediately put him back to reality. Thus, every year, he gets worse and worse.

@lh1533 Год назад

I think we all heard Stephen A . Talk about skip but what he said on the jj show was a bit much ... skips character is what everyone tunes into.. his ridiculous takes, his passion for his favorite and least players , no one does it better .. never watched a full episode of first take and probly never will... undisputed I've never missed a day since 2019

@MeJamesah Год назад

This was so unnecessary on skip's part. I watched the interview with Stephen a Smith on JJ Reddick show, He had nothing but positive comments about skip. And the fact of the matter is the show before Stephen a Smith arrived was one sided because the debaters could not go back at skip the way Stephen a Smith did.

@sagemane5316 Год назад

Nah Stephen A definitely made it seem like he carried the show and is the reason why first take got successful when they were successful before Stephen A ever got on the show

@bennetharris972 Год назад

yeah agreed for the mostpart but rewatching the clips it definitely does sound like Stephen A implies that he made first take what it is and that skip "needed" him which he said quoted. they were definitely better off TOGETHER but skip deserves the credit for building the show up with Stephen A and before Stephen A. I bet skip just sees this as a close friend implying that he was the reason first take was and is what it is when skip plays a similar if not bigger part in that

@blackalphagaming8010 Год назад

You a plant from Steven A Smith aren't you?

@mscooldeadly Год назад

Clearly you missing the point. SAS basically was saying he made First Take what is today. How can a show be number one when there wasn't competition? SAS was fired from ESPN and Skip helped bringing him back. Skip sounds more hurt then anything but SAS gotten more big head since being handed the keys.

@MeJamesah Год назад

@@mscooldeadly In all honesty you're probably really young and don't remember the show before Stephen a Smith arrived. Skip bayliss and the show needed Stephen a Smith to go to the next level. It was an OK show before Steven a Smith but he truly did take it to the next level with providing skip a worthy debate partner. Steven a Smith is correct

He has no credibility left and Undisputed is losing viewers because it’s the same tired debate every single day. Skip’s career is over.

Both Skip and Stephen A clearly have two of the biggest egos around in sports media. I'd wager there's some truth to what both said, but that they're both skewing the picture some. And for Skip to say the best compliment he can give to Shannon is that Shannon holds his own against him is the most self reverential bs I've eve heard.
