Skip Bayless, the well-known sports commentator and former Fox employee, has made a name for himself as a polarizing figure in the sports media landscape. His career has been defined by fiery opinions and controversial takes, especially regarding athletes like LeBron James and the Dallas Cowboys. Recently, after what many considered a long-overdue exit from Fox, he’s taken aim at the network’s newest analyst-none other than Tom Brady.
It’s hard not to laugh at this swap. The statement “We just traded you for Tom bleeping Brady” encapsulates the sentiment perfectly. This shift in talent is one of the most talked-about moves in sports media, and the accolades for the Fox GM are well-deserved.
In a recent episode of his podcast-one that seems to have garnered little attention-Bayless dismissed Brady as a “sixth-round broadcaster.” This critique raises eyebrows, especially given that Bayless’s commentary is often more about spectacle than substance. It’s safe to assume that Lil Wayne likely made an appearance, as Bayless has a penchant for bringing him on for seemingly no reason, leaving many wondering why this pairing exists.

Bayless tries to undermine Tom Brady
The real issue lies in Bayless’s longstanding reputation. For over a decade, he’s been an “impressively bad” commentator, often critiquing Brady with surprising fervor. Who didn’t see it coming when he voiced disapproval over Brady’s calls during a game where his cherished Cowboys were thoroughly outmatched? It’s classic Bayless behavior.
With Bayless no longer affiliated with Fox, there seems to be a collective sigh of relief in the sports community, allowing for unfiltered opinions. His track record-one riddled with incorrect assessments of prominent figures-makes it hard to take him seriously.
Calling Tom Brady “subpar” is not just absurd; it’s even more laughable coming from someone with such a dubious history. As Bayless embarks on his podcast journey, it will be entertaining to watch how he continues to navigate this new chapter, likely with Lil Wayne by his side-because his antics certainly keep the conversation going.
