Kinda crazy when you put it into prospective, the show cold pizza that use to air on ESPN2 wasn't exactly a ratings bonanza. But then skip starts trollin' lebron & his gets a new set, new show name & eventually a show dedicated to his opinions. He's owes lebron atleast 85% of his pay, the rest can go to tebow, the spurs & manziel.
But let's not forget skip was always a high level troll... The always mild mannered even-keeled Troy Aikman has said even recently that if he ever ran into skip bayless, he will put hands on him. Skip made troy's life a living hell when he wrote for the papers & was on local radio in dallas. He(skip) just didn't just allude to, he flat out accused troy of being a down low, pillow biting homo.
He put it in his book & he talked about it on the radio all the time. The rumors got so hot that guys like nate newton, emmitt & irvin had to come out deny what skip was saying because so many people believed it & it was causing problems in the locker room because skip wouldn't back down that cowboy players told him off the record...
He got ran out out of dallas because of that BS he was spewing & resurfaced in bristol years later.
