He's gotta wake up every morning bewildered at his incredible resume and lack of respect.
He perfected the hot take talking head say outlandish shyt that is dominating sports talk. Put SAS on and now he's a multi-media star, face of ESPN.
Got the baton on Fox, helped them get on the map, they created 5 copy cat shows, he put Shay on and he also became a multi-media star.
And no one cares or even wants Skips lame ass.
It's incredible to see someone have such an effect and be so unlikable and not be able to capitalize.
That's exactly it. He's looking at all these streaming services that have sports non-stop
YouTube TV
Amazon
Peacock
Paramount
Netflix now
DAZN
Yes ESPN
Yes FS1 still
Whatever else I missed
And he can't get with any of them. Don't think he hasn't tried either. Heck he probably will ask for a side deal with All The Smoke and may even come hat in hand to Cam and Ma$e to get something like Mark Jackson.
It's not about the money for him it's seeing all these people do what he ultimately kind of started.
And it's killing him not being the center of attention. And the issue is because Shannon is so well-loved him burning that bridge effectively closed the door on him with a lot of people.
It's his feeling of not being needed that's killing him. Guys like Shannon, Ryan Clark, KG, Melo, Jeff Teague don't need his ass. And that's the part he's having a hard time dealing with.
