Skip Bayless is leaving ESPN. After years running amok in Bristol and building his own little fiefdom over at First Take, Bayless is moving on to a new opportunity. It doesn’t take a lot of mental gymnastics to realize that Fox Sports is his next likely destination, to link back up with Embrace Debate Czar Jamie Horowitz and the hot take revolution getting underway at FS1.
So what happens when Bayless joins FS1? First of all, the apocalypse… probably. Second of all, there might be an awkward moment or two with his potential new co-workers.
The excellent Twitter account @OldTakesExposed has a roundup of tweets sent by Bayless’ possible future colleagues at Fox Sports and, well, it could make for some interesting “how do you do’s” whenever Bayless is likely unveiled at FS1.

Want some more? Here you go…
The worst thing about the Cowboys winning is that now Skip Bayless thinks he's doing it right.

Is there anything funnier than Skip Bayless, Pat Forde and other sportswriters who are now relationship experts?

Glad to see CFB authority Skip Bayless has chimed in, telling us Bob Stoops should be fired (seriously). This is ESPN's BCS analyst.

So now I guess we just have to wait and see what “parade of attention-starved puppets” get to debate Bayless at Fox, right?
