Key NFL Games to Watch in 2024
As the 2024 NFL schedule unfolds, there are several must-see matchups that fans won’t want to miss. From thrilling rivalries to highly anticipated showdowns, USA TODAY Sports’ Mackenzie Salmon highlights some of the most exciting games on the horizon.
Skip Bayless Departs FOX Sports
Reports indicate that sports talk personality Skip Bayless will be leaving his role on FS1’s “Undisputed” later this summer. After an impressive eight-year tenure with FOX Sports, Bayless first joined the network in 2016 following a successful 12-year stint at ESPN. The news was initially reported by The New York Post, though FOX Sports has yet to formally comment on the matter.
Changes in the “Undisputed” Lineup
This upcoming departure marks the second consecutive summer that “Undisputed” has seen a key host exit the show. Last year, Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe bid farewell to the program after co-hosting with Bayless since its inception in 2016. Sharpe’s move to ESPN’s “First Take” alongside Stephen A. Smith was a significant shift in the sports talk landscape. In light of Sharpe’s departure, former NFL players Michael Irvin, Keyshawn Johnson, and Richard Sherman, as well as NBA legend Paul Pierce, have stepped in to join Bayless on “Undisputed.”
Bayless’s Illustrious Career
While bidding farewell to “Undisputed,” Bayless leaves behind an impressive media career that spans over four decades. Beginning in the mid-1970s, Bayless started his journey in sports journalism covering various teams and events for renowned publications such as the Miami Herald, Los Angeles Times, and Dallas Morning News.
Conclusion
As Skip Bayless transitions from his role on “Undisputed,” fans are eager to see how the show’s dynamic will evolve. With a new lineup of former athletes and sports icons, the program continues to deliver engaging sports commentary and analysis for viewers. Stay tuned for more updates as the 2024 NFL season unfolds.
