Uhh his "Club Shay Shay" has like 1.2 million subscribers, and is getting millions of views on the regular now from YouTube
It happened VERY fast and honestly it's showing that he doesn't need Skip any longer and will be a very trendy FA here soon. Might make that transition away from sports ala Strahan to a degree.
Honestly he was by far the highlight of the show for a couple years now. Skip tried to do the same lil podcast thing and it's not getting close to the same traction.
It's also become very apparent that the reason why they don't get guests like on First Take is probably due to Skip. Besides Lil Wayne, and Snoop, people don't like him

This. Misc logic..."I'm not interested in this very popular celebrity so no one else is". I don't think he's the most knowledgeable on sports outside of football but he's entertaining af. In the shows prime before the pandemic he was a meme factory. Skip isn't a one man show and needs someone entertaining to debate. Not sure who's gonna replace Shannon..Chris Broussard? Jfl. I think they stopped bringing guests on cause of the pandemic though because they had a lot of different people on prior to that.
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

I love Skip. How do people even hate on Skip?
Shannon is basically a black supremacist who only cares about his own people while he lusts after white women
They have good takes on play off match ups for football and basketball, other than that ya it’s nothing much unless you like to worship spots celebrities

people love to hate Skip. Mike Francesa had the same kind of reputation in the northeast. everyone swore they hated him and didn't listen and he'd be number one in the ratings all the time.
Skip made Shannon. he shoulders that show, the format, playing the bad-guy role, devil's advocate etc. he can do it again if he wants.
I think Broussard is the lead to get the spot right now and I'm not sure that's a good idea because he's great on 'Odd Couple' with Rob Parker, and has a role on 'First Things First' so you'd kill those two shows by moving him. You want the Shannon type again - an outspoken former athlete with a big personality that current players respect. Ray Lewis, Keyshawn Johnson, Kevin Garnett, Ryan Clark come to mind.

Shannon was vastly outshining him. His #'s and podcast basically speak to that. Skip doesn't command respect anymore, he isn't able to bring the celebrity/athlete guests anymore.. he talks about the same 4-5 topics and they are all starting to go away (LeBron, Brady, Cowboys, Rodgers.. inky one is gonna stay and that's Cowboys)
He needs someone that helps to create the funny viral moments, cause he can't do it anymore. SAS did it cause he's great, Shannon did it cause he's great.. those type of people aren't found anywhere else. You gotta find a character who's loud, funny, whitty, and can take the BS that comes with Skip
Agreed that none of those guys are any good. Broussard isn't gonna be on that show, I've heard Acho, Shady McCoy, Brandon Marshall, and Joy Taylor maybe as replacements and those all sound terrible

you're not wrong and i think skip's one-man show stinks. i don't know who told him it was a good idea to basically type his thoughts out and read them from a piece of paper. i find zero joy in that show and quit on it pretty quickly.
but a few years ago if someone suggested shannon sharpe we'd probably be as skeptical of that pick as we are of ryan clark, lesean mccoy etc. i think Skip made Shannon good at this. Shannon has a huge personality but he obviously learned the format and got daily reps with an all-time veteran who knows how to take sports topics and chew on them for hours.
having a former athlete is key here. another loudmouth sports reporter will just feel like every other show. sleeper pick for me is TJ Houshmandzadeh

I agree with this to an extent.. I remember they did a lil test run with Shannon and Skip during First Take when Stephen A took a vacation and it was instantly great. Shannon was magic right away and he was pretty decent when he was on that CBS NFL show before getting let go.
I just feel like we already have seen a lot of the candidates already in their shows and they arent great TV.. why would they be with Skip? I hope you're right tho, but I worry they're just gonna try and find a LeBron fan and be Shannon 2.0 but just worse
Maybe a Ryan Clark would be good, but he'd have to leave his contract with ESPN

i think the hot take / debate format is really (REALLY) over-saturated but if we're talking strictly Skip Bayless, he has a couple years left in him. He has a built in audience. He's the perfect heel, the easiest guy to hate in the business. There's a reason Fox paid him $32 million to stay in 2021.
Even without Brady and Lebron there's always something to get worked up about in sports. The Cowboys are a constant for Skip (and, like him, people love to hate them), Ja Morant and his guns/gangster life, Zion's ladies, the PGA with Saudi Arabia. All that's just in the last week!

Imagine giving this guy anything over the money in my wallet rn which is... 32 dollars.
Dude is the butt of all jokes in talking sports and I love how much he will debate a sport he never played (football) against someone who played the sport (Shannon) and people somehow will side with Skip over Shannon on football takes? WildMisc Photography Crew
