Controversial television personality Skip Bayless is leaving ESPN after 12 years with the network for Fox Sports after his contract expires in August.
Bayless is best known for his time on the popular sports debate show, First Take, where he partakes in heated discussions with Stephen A. Smith. His final appearance on the show will be the day after the conclusion of the NBA Finals.
Over the years, Bayless has made his fair share of friends and his fair share of enemies including Richard Sherman and Mark Cuban to name a few. Common criticisms of Bayless are that he doesn’t use facts, he thinks too much with his heart instead of his head, and he refuses to change his seemingly ridiculous positions on most issues.
