Veteran analyst Skip Bayless clarified that his professional life comes before his personal space, particularly in his relationship with his wife, Ernestine. However, on the opening night of the NBA, Bayless rarely chose to spend a moment with his wife, although he ensured his profession was still his top priority over her.
Skip Bayless is known for his reputation as a renowned analyst. Notably, he is also an avid critic of NBA superstar LeBron James. Bayless initially wanted to see James’ first game of this regular season. Still, it also came with an offer from Ernestine that the columnist chose for a moment.
Bayless shared his thoughts regarding his unusual choice in the “Pat Bev Podcast.” Despite choosing to hang out with his wife, the Vanderbilt University alumnus made it controversially clear that he would remain in his job in criticizing LeBron James‘ career.
“[I told my wife, Ernestine] if this relationship ever lifts off and goes any place you’re going to have to know from day one that you’ll be second in my life to my work. It’s because it’s not work to me. It’s my passion. It’s my life,” Bayless said. “It’s rare and you have to be a really close friend of mine that I’m going to sacrifice to go and miss a LeBron game so that I can go to your event…”
Skip Bayless has yet to be very active in his profession. However, he plans to make a debate show after he left Undisputed last August. It’s still unclear when he will have the first episode of his new show.

Skip Bayless is known to be an avid critic of LeBron James. However, on his X/Twitter account, the veteran columnist applauded the history-marking moment between the James duo. He even spoke highly of LeBron’s durability, a rare act he had never done before.
“Man, that was very cool,” Bayless said. “Odds trillions to one that LeBron James would defy injury and last this long in the National Basketball Association playing at this level. To see him and his son together on an NBA court in a real live NBA game was very special,” the 72-year-old analyst added.
