The one thing I really liked about FOX's coverage last year was the ever present tiny leaderboard in the bottom right corner. Let you know the scores of the leaders at all times.

So news has it Skip Bayless is coming to Fox as well. Seems FOX is content to simply steal ESPN talent/content. Personally, I am okay with this. Its better than no investment at all (similar to CBSSN and NBCSSN). I just don't see the endgame. ESPN is losing money because they overpaid for live sports and their personalities. Now it seems like FOX is trying the same thing.

The only person more annoying than Skip Bayless is Stephen A. Smith.....I guess this is good news if it helps ratings .

I hope people continue trying to underestimate Fox and their pursuit of becoming a legitimate competitor to ESPN. They have added a ton of legitimate and well-respected on-air commentators in the past few years, not to mention content.
