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.

They should put Aikman and Buck in the booth with Collinsworth and Bayless.

Everyone i hear says they hate Bayless but he still has a job so apparently there are hundreds of thousands of people that continue to watch that dirtbag.

I don't get it.

I don't understand why people keep the Kardashians or all the rest of the reality trash on the air either.

In a perfect world nobody would be a fan of Skip Bayless.

He's a professional troll.

I was in high school when that season came on and we used to watch it as a family, particularly the auditions- those were always hilarious.

He's dated models and actresses and was married for 11 years while siring two daughters.

That said, I've heard from too many people "in the know" that say he's bisexual and far more attracted to men than women. (NTTATWWT)

I don't understand why he'd bring this shit up again.

Stephen A is a preachy thumb pointing chest pounding blow hard. Bayless is funny and has good takes. I'll watch Fox now.

You realize Bayless used to be a sports writer/journalist/columnist?

He moved into television once print media started to die.

I don't like him either, but his tv stuff is just schtick. He knows what pays the bills
