Skip Bayless might have “saved” Stephen A. Smith ’s career, but those days — and the two working together — are a “far cry away,” according to the “First Take” personality, who addressed the topic on Friday. Smith, on his eponymous podcast, shut down any notion that he would work with Bayless again at ESPN — or anywhere, for that matter.

“This is not the first time I’ve said it. There’s no negativity or shade being shown at Skip Bayless. I have moved on.”“I’m past all of that,” Smith said. “And me connecting and reigniting things with Skip Bayless is not what I want my future to be. That is a past that I’ll always celebrate and be appreciative of, but that ain’t where I’m at now. I got bigger plans for myself that don’t include him nor anybody else as a partner.

Before Smith provided his take on the situation, an ESPN spokesperson had already closed the “First Take” door on Bayless. Smith claimed he was not made aware of ESPN’s statement before it went public, but at the same time, he said his answer would have been the same.
