Troy Aiken is not a fan of Skip Bayless.
Media Circus: Troy Aikman sounds off on Fox Sports signing Skip Bayless

Richard Deitsch
RICHARD DEITSCH
Tuesday September 6th, 2016

Troy Aikman has worked for Fox Sports for 15 years and has been the network’s lead NFL analyst since 2002. His reputation among staffers—especially those on his NFL production crew—is excellent. He is also known among sports media writers as being a particularly honest interview, and that was the case last week when Sports Illustrated contacted him about his network’s hiring of Skip Bayless.

“To say I’m disappointed in the hiring of Skip Bayless would be an enormous understatement,” Aikman said. “Clearly, [Fox Sports president of national networks] Jamie Horowitz and I have a difference of opinion when it comes to building a successful organization. I believe success is achieved by acquiring and developing talented, respected and credible individuals, none of which applies to Skip Bayless."

Aikman has specific reasons to be unhappy with the Bayless hire, which was made by Horowitz but ultimately approved by Fox Sports president Eric Shanks. In a book (Hell Bent) on the Dallas Cowboys in the 1990s, Bayless made an unsubstantiated claim that Aikman was gay. The former Dallas Morning News sports editor Dave Smith told author Jeff Pearlman for his 2009 book on the Cowboys (Boys Will Be Boys) that Bayless’s “gay take on Aikman was the most unfair thing in my 45 years of journalism.”

Two years ago Aikman addressed his feelings on Bayless (Bayless covered Aikman as a columnist for the Morning News) in a long interview with this column. “I’m upset about it because it was made up and there was nothing accurate about anything that was insinuated,” Aikman said at the time. “And he did it, as he does everything, just for attention.”

Bayless has previously responded to Aikman’s ire, most notably in a very long interview with TheStartingFive.com in 2009. Media in Dallas have long covered this topic.

Fox Sports declined comment when contacted Monday about Aikman’s interview with SI.

As a Fox Sports loyalist and the network’s longtime top NFL analyst—Aikman will call his fifth Super Bowl for Fox on Feb. 5, 2017, in Houston—you can understand why Aikman feels personally aggrieved by the Bayless hire. Aikman has a number of years left on his Fox Sports contract (and he opted to stay with Fox after Bayless was signed, which is a point Bayless loyalists would make) so it bears watching how Shanks (who is well liked by on-air talent) navigates any intersection between Aikman and Bayless, as well as those Fox Sports staffers (and Aikman has supporters all over the company) upset by what they see as a public slap in the face of one of Fox’s best talents.

Aikman really went for the unvarnished burn in that statement.

Skip is a non objective douche. Has his favorites and has incredibly stupid opinions on others that he doesn't like.

Reporters are suppose to be impartial and report facts but people like Skip don't. It's the same thing you see from all the idiotic former Patriot players when it comes to their former team. No matter what they defend.

I'm often torn about the worst game announcers I've ever seen. It's easy to pick Randy Cross because he was so stupid, or John Madden because he was so inane, or Sterling Sharpe because of his worship of certain players, but I still wonder if Bill Walsh was the worst color guy I've ever seen. I think I only saw one game of his before he was fired, but that guy was so full of himself that he made the entire game about how good he was and how good his teams were. That game was years ago and I still remember how openly annoying he was. I figure he was probably the type of guy who would tell waitresses and cab drivers and random passersby how good he was.

I had no idea if he was married or not, so I looked him up. Here are the first three pictures in an image search. I apologize if this is mean, but it's just rather surprising.



Whoa, you can't be gay and be with that gal.

Then there's the second picture. Troy's not changing much.



The we move to the third picture, which I presumed was Troy with a former elementary school teacher or something. But no, that's still the wife.
