Writing in the New York Daily News, Bob Raissman has compiled his list of candidates to fill Bayless’ spot, which consists of Michelle Beadle, Christopher (Mad Dog) Russo, Max Kellerman, Pablo S. Torre, Dan Le Batard, Will Cain, Brandon Tierney, Wallace Matthews and Frank Isola.

  1. BAYLESS MADE HIMSELF SOUND FOOLISH MOST OFTEN AND STEVEN A’S PUPPET WHICH MAKES ME ENJOY THE SERIES. I KNOW THAT THESE TOPICS ARE REHEARSED AND I HOPE YOU CAN FIND AN INTELLIGENT SPORTS REPORTER WITH A WELL KNOWN BACKGROUND THAT IS WILLING TO ABSORB STEVEN A’S HILARIOUS OFFENSIVE SPORTS STATEMENTS. THESE KEEP ME INFORMED WITH SPORTS AND ENTERTAINED.

  2. Shannon Sharpe. Pay that man
