News about Skip Bayless

OJ Simpson was mourned by the official Heisman Trophy X account following his death from cancer, leading college football fans to slam the 'crazy' and 'embarrassing' social media post. Simpson, who won the award recognizing the nation's best college player in 1968 while at USC, was later found civilly liable for the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. However, that didn't stop the official Heisman account from memorializing Simpson, posting a graphic that said the following: 'The Heisman Trophy Trust mourns the passing of 1968 Heisman Trophy Winner OJ Simpson. We extend our sympathy to his family.'

Skip Bayless has paid tribute to OJ Simpson in the wake of the ex-football star's death, claiming he 'could be the greatest running back ever' and remembering him as the 'most charismatic athlete I ever knew.' Simpson, who died Wednesday at 76 years old following a short battle with cancer, was an astounding talent in the NFL, earning six All-Pro selections en route to a Hall of Fame induction. Of course, he was also found civilly liable for the deaths of his ex-wife and her friend, and Bayless cautioned fans 'not to discount anything that happened after [Simpson's playing career.]'

On Monday's Undisputed, Keyshawn Johnson resurfaced as the Chiefs Super Bowl champion is accused by Dallas police of racing his Corvette before crashing it and fleeing the scene. Cops have been searching for Rice, 23, since the Corvette has been registered to him, and Dallas News announced on Sunday that they suspect the Kansas City star was driving. Johnson, a 2003 Super Bowl champion who played with the Buccaneers, didn't hold back when discussing the incident with Skip Bayless on Monday morning.

Keyshawn Johnson, a FOX Sports contributor and former NFL quarterback, lauded LSU basketball player Hailey Van Lith for speaking out against an LA Times op-ed. The Tigers were referred to as college basketball's 'villains' and its "dirty debutantes' in the essay, while still presenting a squeaky clean picture of the UCLA Bruins (who lost to LSU in the Sweet 16). That line has since been edited out of the story. Johnson appeared on 'Undisputed,' with host Skip Bayless and praised Van Lith for being involved.

Jordan admitted to seeing flashes of himself in Minnesota's franchise player, despite the 22-year-old Edwards continually drawing comparisons to the player widely regarded as the GOAT. On Wednesday, FS1's Chris Broussard relayed a message from Jordan on an episode of First Things First. Michael Jordan, a basketball player, said, 'I went to the GOAT today.' 'Jordan said there are similarities in their games,' he confirmed. If Jordan said there are similarities, there are surely are links.'

Skip Bayless, a FOX Sports 1 analyst, knows where to put a comma in a super-short tweet. Although he was dissatisfie with the Dallas Cowboys' lack of progress, Bayless' wrote his March 12 post on X (formerly Twitter). An X user commenter wrote yesterday, 'Thank god for the comma.' The four-word tweet came just two months after the Dallas Cowboys suffered a 'blowout loss' to the Green Bay Packers during the playoffs.

Russell Wilson and his partner Ciara were 'humiliated' by the Denver Broncos last season, according to Skip Bayless, who believes his move to the Pittsburgh Steelers was 'an all-time theft of a contract.' The nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback has agreed to a one-year contract with the Steelers. The veteran's minimum of $1.21 million will be paid by the Broncos, who will cover the remainder of his $39 million salary. After a horrific spell in Denver, Wilson is moving to a free agency, and it will be one of the worst trades in NFL history.

This week, Fox Sports 1's Undisputed reached a new low in viewing figures, with 50,000 viewers tuned in for Skip Bayless's episode on Tuesday. Shannon Sharpe's career-making departure to ESPN's First Take was a downswing in recent months, with Bayless now accompanied by a rotating cast including the likes of Keyshawn Johnson, Michael Irvin, and Richard Sherman. But that doesn't appear to be exciting the viewers anymore, with Tuesday's show drawing in 50,000 viewers - according to data from Sports Media Watch - ranking it lower in the TV charts than an ESPN2 re-airing of 'Get Up!' On the Tennis Channel, there is a first-round Dubai Open tennis match.

Earlier this week, Skip Bayless and Keyshawn Johnson wrangled over Dak Prescott, with some commentators claiming that Johnson had the better of his TV coworker. Stephen Jones, the Cowboys' CEO/director of player relations, announced that the team wanted to extend Prescott's deal. The quarterback had a good regular season, but Dallas was disappointed in the playoffs after losing to the Packers in the first round. When the pair clashed on 'Undisputed,' Johnson took the lead, with Bayless arguing that Dallas' postseason woes were largely [Prescott's] fault."

Kelce, the Chiefs' tight end, sparked backlash after he screamed at his head coach on the sidelines during the second quarter of the Super Bowl, shoved Reid, and yelled in his face. Kelce seemed to face no punishment for his debuting behavior, with both he and Reid dismissing his outburst after the game. In addition, the NFL superstar was picked up for the Super Bowl, implying that his brisk moment of madness was captured, but that his blushes were not spared when Inside the NFL, which was released the day after the big game, did not feature the snippet. Bayless, a FS1 analyst, said he was not surprised that the franchise might have continued to discourage Kelce's outburst from reaching the public.

Barkley made a remark made by Bayless during an interview on Friday 'The Dan Patrick Show', in which the FS1 analyst said, 'Bill [Belichick] only won championships because of Tom Brady.' Former NFL star-turned-broadcaster Jay Lewis blasted Bayless for the 'asinine's remark, alleging that the former Patriots coach's smear on him was inaccurate because Brady did not play on defense or special teams. Andy Reid, the Kansas City Chiefs' head coach who has won three Super Bowls, was later to wonder if without Patrick Mahomes.

Since he departed from Bayless'Undisputed' on Fox Sports in October of last year, the three-time Super Bowl champion discussed what had been 12 months of change for him. Since then, he's founded Club Shay-Shay and has collaborated with Smith on ESPN's 'First Take,' which Bayless appeared on for nine years before retiring from Fox Sports in 2016. The main discussion was between the kid and me.' Sharpe said, Stephen A. and I have more talk.'

After a whole career of opposite conduct, FOX Sports analyst Skip Bayless thought Bill Belichick's decision to send a letter of thanks to New England Patriots fans was surprising. In this Sunday's Boston Globe ad, Belichick ran a full page to thank supporters of the team he coached for 23 years. Bayless' gratitude displayed a different way from his previous appearances.

After he said that nemesis Stephen A. Smith is attempting to portray him as being at war with the black media group, Jason Whitlock revealed his top 30 rivalries with members of the media. Whitlock and Smith have been embroiled in a tumultuous debate over the past month after the former penned a column accusing his ex-colleague of lying in his newly published memoir. Whitlock had been suspected of singled out black members of the media, but the columnist denied that. The host introduced a picture of 30 members of the media with whom they have feuded in the past. Pat McAfee, Mina Kimes, and Dave Portnoy were among Whitlock's victims, and he went on to explain the source of his beef with Shannon Sharpe, who appears on Smith's First Take following his departure from Skip Bayless and Undisputed last year.

The Chiefs may have won the battle of the quarterbacks at Highmark Stadium, but Skip Bayless is confident it was Bill Allen who won the battle of the quarterbacks. After boosting the Super Bowl champions to a 27-24 win on their first ever postseason road trip to Buffalo, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes extending his winning streak over Allen in the NFL playoffs to 3-0 on Sunday night. It was another epic match between the two teams before Tyler Bass' late field-goal loss cost the Bills dearly, as the visitors maintained their three-point advantage.

Skip Bayless has slammed Mike McCarthy as a 'pup' for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones after the team decided to fire him after the team's shocking playoff loss to the Packers. McCarthy has coached Dallas to an impressive 42-25 record in four seasons, but his team has only won one playoff game in that time, after being defeated 48-32 by a visiting Green Bay squad last weekend. Bayless challenged the owner's motives for keeping McCarthy after Jones revealed that he'd been sticking with the underfire coach on Wednesday night.

At halftime of the team's Wild Card matchup, Dak Prescott threw two interceptions in the first half and led a mostly ineffective Dallas Cowboys offense to a 20-point deficit to the Green Bay Packers. On X, 'Playoff Dak' is in fashion, with Prescott's reputation of not showing up in the team's biggest games continuing. This was Green Bay's first postseason game without Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers on the roster since 1982.

The Kansas City Chiefs and visiting Miami Dolphins will play in dangerously cold weather on Saturday night, and the National Weather Service is urging fans to take precautions. The NWS warns "most extremities, including your head and face." For Saturday's 8 p.m. kickoff at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, temperatures are predicted to be below zero with a 23-wind chill. And there will be wind gusts potentially reaching 30mph with a -30 wind chill, making it one of the coldest venues for a NFL playoff game in history. Despite this, the NFL has not considered changing the schedule, according to FOX Sports.

The Anti-Hero hitmaker, 34, has attended several of the games this season, sparking a lot of hype and admiration, with the show often focusing on her in the stands. However, NFL followers have been left dissatisfied with the amount of attention the singers were getting from the league and the media as the Chiefs' slumped in recent weeks. Following their loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day, Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless chipped in, saying it was time to call Swift a distraction to Kelce and the reigning Super Bowl champions. However, Bayless' ESPN rival Smith retaliated against Swift's detractors, arguing that it was not her fault that the cameras weren't on her.

Weather forecasts for Kansas City may have spelled doom for the Miami Dolphins ahead of their Wild Card playoff match against the Chiefs on Saturday night at Arrowhead Stadium, where temperatures are forecast to plummet to -5 degrees. It's a big problem for a South Florida team that has never played in anything below 10 degrees (-12.2 degrees Celsius). And it doesn't help that Hawaiian-born quarterback Tua Tagovailoa played his college ball in sunny Alabama. In fact, the Dolphins have dropped 10 straight games by an average of 17 points when playing in anything below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, which would be almost tropical compared to what Miami will see on Saturday night at Arrowhead. 'I see the Dolphins in -5 below zero temperatures, I see it as a tragedy, a nighttime tragedy,' Fox Sports' Skip Bayless predicted on Wednesday's episode of Undisputed.

After the Oklahoma City Thunder star helped his team beat the Boston Celtics, Skip Bayless praised Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as his nominee for the NBA's MVP award on Tuesday night. The Thunder beat the NBA-leading Celtics 127-123 for their fifth straight victory. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 36 points. With 2.8 seconds remaining, Gilgeous-Alexander was fouled. With the crowd chanting 'M-V-P!' To put the game away, he made both free throws.

The pop sensation, 34, spent Christmas Day cheering on the Chiefs and his partner Travis Kelce once more, but she didn't get her holiday wish granted when Kansas City lost by 20-14 to the Las Vegas Raiders. To great fervor and admiration, the Anti-Hero hitman has attended several of the tight end's games this season. And, Christmas Day was no different as the show remained a focus on Swift, with Kelce's jersey number on display on several occasions. And, following their most recent loss, analyst Skip Bayless said it was time to start calling Swift a distraction to Kelce and the reigning Super Bowl champions. Duncan, 40, a producer for ESPN, denied those charges as she attacked feminists who have long accused women of being the source of athletes's on-field struggles.

Fans of football and Taylor Swift's own huge fanbase have united as one to strongly deny NFL analysts' arguments that the musician is partially to blame for the Chiefs' recent woes. Travis Kelce's boyfriend and his Kansas City team have struggled to recover the form that saw them win the Super Bowl last year, with their woes compounded by a disappointing 20-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day. The Chiefs surrendered two touchdowns in seven seconds, with the Raiders chastising on a mix-up between Isiah Pacheco and quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the first time until Jack Jones intercepted a Mahomes throw moments later.

As she watched the Chiefs' Christmas Day game against the Las Vegas Raiders with her family, the 34-year-old superstar cheered on her NFL beau Kelce, who was also 34 years old. The Oaklands robbed Christmas and the Anti-Hero hitmaker's festive spirits suffered as she watched her tight end boyfriend, a second in the last three games she has attended, fall to a sad death. The Chiefs, who are now 9-6 and have yet to lock down their playoff berth, must rely on the songstress to blame for their latest form, according to Bayless, the show host of Fox's 'Undisputed.'
