Wow! And this is how these "types of individuals" handle stories from the past by rewriting history with lies. SAS understands that there wasn't any documentation or recordings from this interaction. Skip already had a show while SAS show was cancelled and he was fired. SAS wanted to be back on TV and did it with a low dollar amount contract. For SAS to say that Skip "needed" him and presented this one-sided story in 2022 as if Skip was on his knees "begging" him as SAS had left Skip hanging there for days would have my heated too! And SAS said this PUBLICLY that we never heard of this out of left field version of this story before.

Maybe they both needed each other, Stephen A. did not have many TV options and Bayless wanted a consistent cohost/debater to increase ratings (even if ratings were already good). It worked out for both and both went on to be even more successful, I think due to the success they had together.

Skip, you didnt dispute the event of how the show came together with the “real” version nor did you provide any data supporting your claim about the state of the show at that time. Just saying that those details and facts would put this to bed, now it will continue to be a high school he said vs he said.

I was a print journalist for an LA daily newspaper at the same Skip was making his bones as a sportswriter for the LA Times. He’s a talented and smart journalist, and much respect for his body of work and sustained stardom in the media. That said: 1) he’s tone deaf to spotlight this beef as something so agonizing given what the average person is dealing with as the economy is poised to slide further into disrepair, and 2) the Cowboys will ultimately be irrelevant next NFL season. Much success going forward, despite your current pain, Skip.

The way I remember the story is it was crazy Woody Paige that made 1st & 10 hot while Skip got his tv sea legs. After Paige went back to the Denver Post, Cold Pizza was cancelled and 1st & 10 became 1st take, it took a while, but Skip made that show gain traction. By the time Stephen A. Smith came along the show was already very popular.
