| Wow skip...
His comment when asked what he thought about Eli being on SNL:
"I wonder if they are going to do a Rainman skit." |

| ESPN won't fire him. Skip Bayless is probably the only thing keeping that show on the air. | |

| Regarding Skip, once it was proved by Jalen Rose that he lied to make a point, he should have been fired or at least suspended. I can't believe ESPN didn't take that more seriously. | |

| He's just there to cause controversy and stir the pot a bit (whether the reasons be logical or not)
Not sure why this would get him fired above other things | |

| Lying on the air on any channel that holds itself out as a news outlet should be viewed as grounds for termination. | |

| Only problem is those are opinion shows, not news programs.
It's like Glenn Beck's old show on Fox. Since it wasn't an actual news program (despite many viewers thinking it was) he could lie and make outlandish claims all he wanted and be safe. Skip does his job very well.
Make people hate me and watch. Lose occasionally so people watch.
Why fire someone who makes your network money when he's just playing a character to begin with? Let's fire Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for making jokes basically. (even though their news is actually... fairly accurate and reaches a massive audience, but still my point.) | |
