Skip Bayless has decided to leave ESPN when his contract expires at the end of August.
His final appearance on First Take will be the day after the NBA Finals conclude.
We want to thank Skip for his many contributions to ESPN. His hard work and talent have benefited ESPN for 12 years.
According to Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch, ESPN was prepared to offer Bayless around $4 million annually.

See, I'm sure a lot of people will celebrate it, but I think they'll also miss him in a weird way. His more controversial and outlandish statements draw attention, and give people something to get riled up over.
On a side note, at 64, he's older than I thought he was.
