Is Bayless right this time?
Outspoken hot-take sports personality Skip Bayless found himself on the losing end with New England Patriots fans with his latest on Bill Belichick’s future with the franchise.
Bayless took to X, formerly known as Twitter, claiming Patriots owner Robert Kraft owes the fans following New England’s abysmal 4-13 season.
“Bill Belichick has been exposed as nothing more than a very good defensive coach,” Bayless wrote. “As long as he had (Tom) Brady … Kraft owes it to his fans to move on.”

Fans flocked to social media to not only react to the possibility it’s the end of an era but also to call out Bayless for the assumption Kraft must move on.

Some fans even spouted that Fox Sports 1 owed it to its fans to move on from Bayless and brought up Shannon Sharpe departing from him and their show “Undisputed.”
