Skip Useless is a complete embarrassment and fraud as a sports media talking head. I absolutely refuse to watch anything he broadcasts because he has proven time and again to be completely unserious about reporting or commenting. He is the walking definition of a sports troll. It’s his entire gig now.
Skip lost all credibility in Dallas when he wrote for the old Dallas Times Herald newspaper back in the 80s and later in the 90s for the Dallas MN. He wrote a book about Tom Landry called “God’s Coach” which the Landry family and many former Cowboys players called “full of half-truths” and exaggerated insinuations.
In the mid-90s Skip was no longer welcome in the Cowboys locker room after his unsubstantiated insinuations about Troy Aikman being gay. He reported it as “a rumor” he heard from “some players”. Skip often used the “rumor” moniker to report all kinds of garbage to get readers for his column. To this day, Troy will not even utter Skip’s name. And if Skip had walked into the Cowboys locker room by the late 90s, he would have probably been punched out by numerous players.
I have great respect for real journalists and the job they do. I have known several real sports journalists over the years and they have integrity and let the truth speak for itself.
Skip Bayless is the lowest of the low in sports broadcasting. He exists to troll, exaggerate and use rumors and hearsay as truth. He gives every honest sports journalist a bad name.
