I was a fan of skip bayless mainly because he is one of the few cats who has been calling out lebron prior to going to the heat. He was one of the few media members not on Lebron's nuts. Now back to the Jalen incident, Jalen put skip in his place, I think it was a bitch move that Skip took up an entire show and needed Stepehen A to come to his aid just to explain a tweet. He got caught lying and lost a lot of credibility with his followers, not that it means much to most people but clearly it did to skip. Jalen touched on so many valid points, like Skip using his bias views on a national platform to shit on a lot of athletes. At the end of the day Skip is the boss of First Take and clearly everyone on their are his puppets. You can tell he has become that popular on ESPN, so of course none of his colleagues are going to step up to him unless they want to get black balled from Bristol. IMO skip has to much control of that show but i guess he's earned it due to the audience he draws. First Take used to be a dope show with good discussions, now it's become the Skip "The Troll" Bayless show.
