‘You Are the Man!!!’ Skip Bayless Appears to Compliment Himself During Facebook Live Chat
Skip Bayless likes Skip Bayless — a lot, in fact.
If there was any doubt about this, it should probably now be vanquished after a Sunday Facebook Live chat which Bayless hosted in advance of the Cowboys-Bucs Sunday Night Football showdown.
In a screengrab captured by Ollie Connolly of Cox Media, Bayless appears to have written a compliment to himself:
“Skip you are the man!!! Love the new show on FS1!!!!”

The comment disappeared and no other outlet has yet confirmed the authenticity of the screengrab. But Connolly insists it is not fake, and a fan whose comment appeared directly under Bayless’s named Dylan Goodin also says the Undisputed host did indeed leave the comment.
@Scarby_Darbs @OllieConnolly I commented on that so I think it’s real

If nothing else, Bayless’s apparent love of exclamation points was confirmed in a series of tweets Sunday night after his beloved Cowboys won last night’s game.
