Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless have linked up again, with the timing coming across as suspect.
The ‘First Take’ star has been through a whirlwind lately, having finally ended contract negotiations with ESPN and securing a reported $100 million contract. He’s also had to deal with the embarrassment of being dressed down by LeBron James while courtside at the Knicks-Lakers game on Thursday night.
According to Front Office Sports, Smith and Bayless reunited for a podcast episode this Friday following his confrontation with LBJ. A source told the outlet the former co-hosts recorded an episode of ‘The Skip Bayless Show,’ which is set to drop early next week.
It marked the first time they did something like this since Bayless left ESPN in 2019.

Smith and Bayless worked together on ‘First Take’ for four years and had certain gripes with each other. However, they worked things out in a face-to-face discussion back in 2022.
While Stephen A. is staying at ESPN, Skip is now focusing on his own podcast, after leaving FS1 last year..
He has since been named in a lawsuit filed by former FOX hairstylist Noushin Faraji, who claims the veteran journalist sexually harassed her and offered her a whopping $1.5 million to sleep with him.
Smith defended his old partner in crime after the suit dropped, claiming it’s highly unlikely Skip would be willing to part ways with that amount of money as he’s the cheapest man he knows.

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.
GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.
GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.
Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.
For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.
As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.
