Fifteen Years Later, Troy Aikman (Rightfully) Still Hates that Clown Skip Bayless

"After saying — rather gratuitously — “I’m not so sure Skip’s not gay,” Aikman made it clear that he still bears a grudge. “When a guy like that comes out and, whether it’s intimated or stated, and there’s no substance to that claim, and he’s doing it purely to gain interest in a book, that’s a problem.,” he said. Aikman then added: “I will tell you this. I’ve not seen — I’ve not physically seen Skip Bayless since that time. That was in ’95. And I still kind of wonder what I might do to him when I do see him.”"

Why ESPN still employs this carnival barker is anyone’s guess. If they want to know why nobody respects First and Ten Take, they needn’t look any further than Bayless, who has been reduced to a credibility-eroding stooge since joining the network in 2004. [The Scoop, Dallas News]
