The feud between Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless seems to be reigniting as both have taken jabs at each other recently. While both are busy with their own shows, it's clear that there is still some rivalry between them. It all started when Bayless discussed the time he and Sherman appeared on "First Take" and how Smith couldn't confront Sherman due to contractual obligations. Smith disagreed with Bayless' recollection of the events and went on his podcast to set the record straight.

Smith claimed that the probationary period they were on had more to do with the network's dissatisfaction with the constant Tim Tebow coverage rather than just him and Rob Parker. Smith insisted that Bayless was wrong about the network being proud of the Tebow coverage and that it didn't align with what ESPN wanted to represent. While Smith denies throwing shade at Bayless, it seems there is still some tension between the two.
