Fox Sports host and reporter Jenny Taft didn’t hide her frustration with colleague Skip Bayless on Wednesday afternoon.
Taft, who also works with FOX’s college football coverage, took exception to something Bayless said toward the end of a segment during “Undisputed.” Bayless had just taken a shot at Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy for his weight.
Here’s the clip:

Bayless called it a “personal preference” that he wouldn’t want someone like McCarthy to be his head coach. He seemed frustrated with Taft after she continued criticizing his remarks.
“And I’m allowed to have an opinion Skip!” Taft said. “I’m allowed to say whatever I want to say on on this show as you do too.”
A former Fox Sports public relations executive put in his two cents after the incident:
