Should Skip Bayless Hire Antonio Brown as 'Undisputed' Co-Host?

Those of us who know Skip Bayless personally can attest to something odd about the way his brain works: He is relentless in his lacking of conscience, a charlatan contrarian willing to say anything (no matter how outrageous and stupid) and willing to burn anybody (no matter how false and hurtful) in his pursuit of fortune and fame.

The New England Patriots, meanwhile, know Antonio Brown personally, and can attest to something odd about the way his brain works. And the way the troubled "AB's'' brain is working right now has him bidding to replace Shannon Sharpe on Undisputed the co-host to Skip Bayless.

Brown is tweeting in ways that imply he’s interested in the open seat on the Fox Sports 1 fake-debate program. The former All-Pro receiver, 35, writes, "Me (on my way) to take Shannon Sharpe's spot on "Undisputed.''

It seems fairly clear that this hookup is not going to happen, as Brown's baggage would be a burden even FS1 would refuse to carry ... even though, due to the unfortunate support from advertisers, the network continues to employ the dangerous-baggage-toting Bayless.

Of course, while Bayless is an habitual liar, Brown stands accused of being a criminal. He's been fingered for allegedly “sending explicit videos” to a girlfriend, he's been sued by the players on the arena league team he owns, he's got child-support problems, and he's stripped down to burn countless bridges with people (like Tom Brady) who have befriended him. ... which by the way is a trait he shares with the chronically irresponsible Bayless. (Bayless making fun of Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott's admitting to suffering from depression after Dak's brother's suicide is among the many low points.)

Would people watch "Skip and AB''? The naive and the rubber-neckers and the poor folks stuck in nursing-home beds who can't reach the remote control would ... at least for that very first show, at which time Bayless and Brown would combine to oversee a live TV train wreck.

So, yes, Antonio, go for it. The Bayless we know deserves you. And the AB that the NFL knows deserves Skip.
