Skip Bayless abruptly leaves FS1

Not a fan of his, but he is clearly one of the more prominent names there.

FS1 feels like a network running on fumes.

DTE Energy paid $752 million in dividends to its shareholders last fiscal year. Remember that the next time they ask the MPSC to approve rate hikes.

Undisputed has steadily declined in the ratings for a few years now. The ratings declined even more when Shannon Sharpe left, and FS1 was unable to get a great partner for Skip, so Skip decided to leave.

He says he'll be back somewhere else soon.

I can’t see him returning to ESPN. Maybe he’ll go the podcast route, but if I had to venture a guess, based on nothing but wild speculation, maybe he ends up on Amazon Prime. Amazon has the NFL, getting the NBA, maybe they want to start up a sports commentary show.

FS1 didn't renew Skip's contract, seems that they let Skip hire the athletes for Undisputed Kayshawn Johnson and Richard Sherman. I was surprised about it as I thought Sherman and Skip Baseless/Clueless had major beef when he was in the NFL and ripped Skip a new one on Yelling Take oh, I mean First Take. I read about Skip leaving FS1 a few weeks ago.
