  • Introduction to Video Content
  • Skip Bayless, a renowned sports commentator and television personality, recently reflected on his personal life and the choices he has made regarding marriage and having children. In a candid discussion, Bayless shared his reasons for not having children and how his dedication to his career took precedence over starting a family.
    Bayless revealed that in his twenties, as he was building his career in the media industry, he made a conscious decision not to have children. He acknowledged that his first marriage ended partly because he knew his wife wanted kids, but he realized that his deep commitment to his career would prevent him from being able to fulfill that desire.
    Expressing his unwavering dedication to his work, Bayless emphasized that his profession is not just a job but a true passion and calling. He described his obsession with his current role as a television commentator and expressed his desire to continue doing it for as long as his personal circumstances allow.
    Following his first marriage, Bayless entered into another long-term relationship, but once again, the issue of having children became a critical point of contention. He confessed that despite efforts to change his mindset, he ultimately realized that his career required him to make sacrifices that would make him an inadequate father. Refusing to subject children to what he experienced with his own father, Bayless chose not to pursue fatherhood.
    It was after this experience that Bayless met his current wife, Ernestine, in New York City seventeen years ago. Right from their first date, Bayless made it clear that his job would always take priority in his life and that Ernestine would play a secondary role. Although initially caught off guard by his honesty, Ernestine accepted his declaration and has since come to terms with her position as the second priority to Bayless's all-consuming passion for his work.
    Drawing parallels between his own life and that of Tom Brady, the legendary football quarterback, Bayless praised Brady's relentless dedication to his career. Acknowledging that Brady did not possess the same natural athletic ability as some of his peers, Bayless commended him for his perseverance and his commitment to improving his skills.
    Bayless pointed out that Brady has worked extensively with renowned throwing guru Tom House and trainer Alex Guerrero to enhance his arm strength, speed, and overall performance on the field. Despite not being a naturally gifted athlete, Brady's remarkable work ethic and determination have propelled him to achieve greatness in the world of football.
    In conclusion, Skip Bayless's personal journey sheds light on the sacrifices and choices he has made in pursuit of his career. His decision to prioritize his work over starting a family has been met with both understanding and acceptance from his wife. Similarly, Bayless admires Tom Brady's unwavering dedication to his craft, highlighting the quarterback's extraordinary achievements despite not being blessed with exceptional athletic prowess. Through their stories, Bayless underscores the importance of passion, hard work, and a commitment to personal pursuits in the pursuit of success.
  • Subtitles section
  • Now allow me to go deep.
  • The reason I have so appreciated Tom Brady operates on several personal levels for me.
  • A family level and an age level.
  • If you'll excuse the digression, I chose in my 20s as I was coming up in this business to not have children.
  • I married not my high school sweetheart but my junior high sweetheart and one reason we didn't make it was I knew she wanted kids and I knew the deeper I got into my career I just couldn't have kids.
  • I am obsessed to this moment with what I'm doing right here right now with you.
  • I live for this.
  • It's my whole life.
  • It's my calling.
  • It's not a job.
  • It's my passion.
  • It's what I was born to do and what I want to continue to do as long as my personal situation will allow it.
  • Then after that relationship ended, my first marriage, I had a longer-term relationship with another woman and in the end she just had to have children.
  • I said I can't.
  • I tried to get there and I couldn't get there.
  • I just knew I was going to have to move to move up.
  • That's how this business works and I just knew that if I continued to work nights and weekends the way I do obsessively that I'd be a horrible father.
  • I'd be as horrible a father as my father was for other reasons.
  • I wasn't going to inflict that upon kids.
  • Not fair.
  • Not worth it.
  • No. I'm married to this.
  • Then I met my wife Ernestine 17 years ago in New York City.
  • On our first date, as she will attest, I said hey if this happens to go anywhere I'm sorry but I'm declaring myself upfront you'll always be number two to my job which is my life which is my passion.
  • She was taken aback but she said okay I got it.
  • She'd like to say now she's become 1A but only 1A to my obsession.
  • Brady has been obsessed with football.
  • In many ways he's the greatest overachiever ever because he wasn't born with the greatest amount of an athletic ability.
  • It's better than a lot of people give him credit for but still it's got a nice arm and above average arm but he didn't have the Elway Marino cannon and obviously there's no Michael Vick operating.
  • There's no Lamar Jackson operating even though Brady has worked so hard with my friend Tom House the throwing guru out here in LA. Used to be the pitching coach back when I knew him first with the Texas Rangers.
  • He's worked so hard with Tom in the offseason to improve velocity and obviously accuracy and Tom has worked so hard with that trainer Alex Guerrero to improve his speed and I believe his arm strength and his speed as we speak are their greatest ever.
