ESPN Analyst Seemed to Take a Shot at Skip Bayless While Praising Stephen A. Smith

He went there.

Skip Bayless and his new-look morning yelling sports show, Undisputed, returned to FS1 on Monday and it was, well, a total mess. It started with the cringiest rant by Bayless and then later it ran into a good problem for viewers—Bayless couldn’t get a word in because there were too many co-hosts on the show. 

The other morning yelling sports show, ESPN’s First Take, seemed to notice that Bayless’s new show looked very similar to theirs, as Ryan Clark appeared to take a subtle shot at Stephen A. Smith’s former sparring partner. 

Clark said: “This is what we do know. As Stephen A. is doing things, pulling from other shows, other shows are also taking pages out of Stephen A.’s book. But we’re not gonna talk about that today. Maybe that’s a topic for a podcast conversation.”

That moment is at the end of this clip: 

Yeah, maybe that wasn’t so subtle.
