Skip Bayless will return to ESPN's 'First Take' every Friday.

He is stepping into a part-time role at the network.

He is not going to be in a full-time role.

That is what Stephen A. Smith confirmed.

Michael Irvin will be joining the show each Monday for this football season.

Smith also said the same.

In a separate matter, Bayless criticised Kara Lawson and others.

He blasted them over Caitlin Clark's role in the FIBA World Cup Final.

His comments added to the debate about Clark's playing time in the championship game.
