Fox Sports is reportedly kicking around a whacked-out idea involving Skip Bayless.
Bayless recently agreed to a massive $32 million extension with Fox Sports, and the ideas are already flowing. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
The network is considering “creating a faux courtroom show” for Bayless, according to Front Office Sports. While the idea is far from finalized, it’d feature other FS1 talent debating in front of the legendary pundit.
The sight of Skip Bayless in powdered English judge wig could produce either most unintentionally hilarious sight in sports TV — or TV hit similar to ‘Judge Judy.” FS1 Sports has discussed new courtroom show where ‘Judge Skip’ would settle sports debates. https://t.co/vIogFj7VHH

Why does this stuff have to be so complicated? A courtroom show? Is that really necessary? The answer is no. I’m all for interesting ideas and proposals, but give me a break. We don’t need this nonsense.

Bayless is at his best when he’s just looking at someone from across a table yelling at them. Keep it simple. There’s no need for things to get complicated.
Go back to the drawing board, Fox Sports. This isn’t the answer! That much I know for sure!
