Any news if Skip is going to have his own show? Or is he joining Cowherd/Whitlock on Speak for Yourself? (which I like so far)

Rumor is Skip will get his own show 10AM EST to NOON EST on FS1

Thanks for the link. Not sure how I feel about Kellerman on First Take. I don't know S.A. Smith's contract situation, but I have a hard time seeing him long term on that show without Skip.

That would be an interesting block of TV on FS1...right before Cowherd.

S A Smith is signed with ESPN thru 2019...so he is not going anywhere

ESPN and Bayless deserve each other.

 

Unfortunately, the sports fan deserves better. A step in the right direction though, unless his algae covered body surfaces somewhere else.

Yeah, I wish ESPN would go back to sports, like they used to. I remember when they had wood chopping contests, roller derby, rugby, bass fishing, everything. Then they had to get into opinion. I just want to watch the game!

They should bring back "Quite Frankly" with S.A.S. Anyone remember that gem? :LOL:

Skip teaming up with Shannon Sharpe? That's the rumor.

He's actually more of a dick than Stephen A. Smith, which is why CBS let him go.

It's more than a rumor, it's pretty much a done deal

I respect his sports knowledge, but he's a hot mess, follow his Twitter and it's scatterbrained like a mental patient

They should just blow up "First Take". It's (was) Skip's show. S.A.S came on board way down the line and adding Max K. bores me. I used to watch "Cold Pizza" back in the day.

Gruden is signed to single year contracts by ESPN thru 2021.

The network can end the contract at any point.

He is their highest paid announcer now at $6.8 million. Without Tirrico ..I don't see him staying beyond this year

Tirico is incredibly overrated and easily replaceable. But not by Chris Berman. If they have Berman on MNF, then Gruden should run away as fast as possible.

 

Yep thats dough burning a hole in my pocket. What does The Worldwide Leader of minor leagues (aka ncaa), mnf and nba suck out of cable subscribers a year... $80?? For those that dont watch those three things, its a money suck. More free market wizardry.

 

If you like three teams you gotta buy four sports networks at $75 a year each, $300 total, and its on a fairly low cable tier, thus mostly unavoidable, thanks to the other free market money suckers that sucessfully beat cable in court, the Yankees.

Skip is apparently going to War with ESPN when his new show debuts Sept. 6

This might be fun to watch just to see how far FS1 let's him push it

I find myself watching FS1 more and more these days. They must be growing their audience slow and steady. Bayless will help.

Cowherd's show is better, when he focuses on NFL and NCAA football...the basketball coverage makes me bail.

Bayless will do the same

But yes, FS1 has been getting better...

And ESPN worse. Too saccharine for my tastes. Edited by goose
