he bandwagons and trolls more than oohla...
this is the only guy kno who pics against his favorite team for 2 and a half rounds jus 2 hop back on @ the end... and his reason is "i didnt want 2 jinx the spurs"
the only guy who says he lost respect 4 durant cuz he had 1 bad series...and says "he is not a clutch player"
Powerful is one thing.
Quality reporter is a whole nother.
Skip IS still who people tune in to see at the end of the end of the day. Stephen A is there to actually make sense. -

Most of the time I would agree with this but what the ? was Stephen A on when he reported the Clippers were offering Griffin, Jordan, Bledsoe and Butler for Doc River, Pierce and KG? -

He says ? just to provoke people. He's also the person I least respect on ESPN at this point. He literally just spews nonsense trolling now for ratings, I hate what he has become.
lol he is good @ trolling i will admit.... this dude had me HEATED when he was saying he lost respect in Durant and said he isnt clutch... -
Bill SimmonsBayless is the ultimate troll....
Steven A could be if he was so wishy-washy....
Grantland>>>>>>>ALL. -

Numbers Never Lie is a great show. michael Smith, Hugh Douglass anf Jalen Rose are a great combo. To answer the thread Skip Bayless is the most powerful. How can someone whose opionion is supposedly so worthless garner so much reaction?

its cuz he trolls/and flip flops so much...
its like anybody with any relative sports sense will be like " this dude is a professional casual fan" -
My list would go something like this:
1) Skip Bayless - Love him or hate him, he gets buzz like no one else... Everyone, even other people in the Sports Media, Hang on his every word.... He was a big part of creating the Tebow Phenomenon...
2) Stephen A Smith - Saturday Night live, McDonalds and Star Trek Commercials, 48% of first take (I'll give skip 52%)...
3) Mike Greeney - They have a syndicated radio show, and 4 hour tv show... So these ? got 2 streams of revenue from TV and Radio ads...
If you look up everyone's salaries (though I'm sure some are incorrect), you'd be suprised....
They say Greeney makes $2million a year...
Colin Cowherd 2 million a year (seriously?)
Skip Bayless $500k a year ( i know this can't be right... He probably got a massive raise over the last 2 years)
Stephen A like $400k a year (I know this can't be right either)
Mike Wilbon - $1.5 million a year... This was suprising to me... I guess PTI is doing big things.
It's been doing big things from day one. It's the father to every show on ESPN besides outside the lines -
Bill SimmonsAs much as I dislike him it HAS to be Bill Simmons.
He's getting money off the top from Grantland and 30 for 30. Goodnight folks. Party over.
That money alone>>>>ESPN personality money. And he's the ONLY one who's doing it big on that level not once but twice.
Then factor in he's surpassed just ESPN, he's now on NBA countdown.
(think to yourself, PERHAPS ya'll are a lil shortsided-all yall are mentioning is ESPN personalities) -
Bill SimmonsYall have no clue what power is.
Power is John Hollinger going from ESPN stat guru to VP of basketball Ops for the Grizzlies.
The Skip Baylesses of the worlds get tv shows then die out
The Bill Simmonses will be heads of marketing/programming/etc. at ESPN in a few years -
Colin CowherdSkip is the reason im coming close to not ? with first take anymore. He's a ? idiot, and his arguments are constantly based on woulda..coulda...shoulda instead of the present the time. Risky, but It might not be a bad idea to replace him on the show. I can't take the show serious anymore. I like Stephen A tho... he keeps it solid for the most part.
