  • Just Listen For Skip On Select Topics

    SportsIsland Club on YT I give a full review on why this show is not great with the questionable addition of Jay Gruden. It does have Skip Bayless which does make the show worth paying attention to only on select subjects. I heard someone compare it to Undisputed and I almost threw up in my mouth lol. That is a joke. Not a comparison. Skip in a debate format works
