Fox Sports 1/Fox Sports 2 chief Jamie Horowitz wants to bring in more star "opinionists" like ESPN's Skip Bayless who can drive debate on the network's studio shows. He and his new management team in Los Angeles better have a lot of Pepto-Bismol in their desks.
Yes, these bad boys and girls drive TV ratings with their hot takes, but they're also fiercely independent and hard to manage, noted Neal Pilson, former president of CBS Sports. Over the past year, FS1 has added Colin Cowherd and Jason Whitlock from ESPN while developing Katie Nolan into a homegrown star.
