Fans React On FS1 Analyst Skip Bayless 1982 Interview That Went Viral

As one of the most contentious television personalities, Skip Bayless rarely goes without making news because of his propensity for outrageous opinions. The majority of them offend several different groups of people.

Skip Bayless has made disparaging LeBron James a tenet of his brand in recent years. Due to his propensity to pursue the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, he has quite literally turned into the punchline of jokes. The FS1 analyst has made it a point to trash the 38-year-old whether he plays well or poorly.

Therefore, it would seem that the 71-year-old has a lifetime’s worth of experience in being a pain in the butt.

Fans Ridicule FS1 Analyst Skip Bayless For A 1982 Interview That Went Viral

Rare footage of a young and cocky Skip from 1982 has surfaced online which shows him being interviewed after leaving the Dallas Morning News to go work for their rivals, the Dallas Times Herald.

Back then, Bayless worked as a print journalist and was fast working his way up to becoming one of the most recognisable figures in his industry. The former ESPN analyst was chosen as the Texas journalist of the year three times after being hired by the Morning News at the age of 26 to write the newspaper’s major sports column. Three years after getting the huge job at the Morning News, Bayless left for the Times Herald, which of course upset some people.

He was so afraid of physical assault that he couldn’t even go back to his old job to recover his belongings, as you can hear from the interview up top.

It has been more than 40 years since that interview. Nothing has changed about Skip.

He’s actually become worse.
