Battle Of The Jocks

Skip Bayless is known for being outspoken, loud, and an instigator – in fewer words, he’s a ‘shock jock’. He spread a particularly salacious rumor about Hall of Famer Troy Aikman, insinuating that the QB was gay. With this gossip, he made himself a real enemy, and Aikman and Bayless have been at each other’s throats ever since.

Jason Whitlock Kicked To The Curb

ESPN may have a lot of scandals, but it has no tolerance for in-fighting. So when Jason Whitlock harshly criticized two coworkers publicly, he was fired almost immediately. After calling Mike Lupica ‘insecure and mean-spirited’ and Scoop Jackson a ‘clown’, there was no way Whitlock was sticking around.
