This Fox Sports sex scandal is hilarious. Hairdresser, Noushin Faraji, aired out all of Fox Sports with a lawsuit with extremely funny allegations.
I mean, it sucks for the victims and all that but this is a big event for all of sports media and if Deadseriousness wants to become one of the big dogs, we have to talk about the big events too.
AND LIKE ALL BIG EVENTS….there are winners and losers.
Let’s talk about the biggest winners and losers of the Fox Sports sex scandal.
First, the winner(s)
1. Colin Cowherd
Hard to come up with a rich list of winners for a sexual misconduct lawsuit but quick shout out to Colin Cowherd who was only mentioned briefly and it was nothing but love.
Noushin Faraji moved to The Herd when Joy Taylor earned the position as co-host and unlike Skip Bayless, Colin Cowherd got his haircut, shut his mouth, and kept it moving.
Nothing but respect for the guy who clocks in, gets his takes off, clocks out, and doesn’t get blackout drunk with entry-level employees while his family waits at home.
Colin Cowherd won’t even hang out with Ryen Russilo. I can’t imagine he wanted this hairdresser in his hair.
Salute.
And now onto the Losers….
1. Joy Taylor
Let’s talk about Joy Taylor’s master plan real quick.
Okay, Joy Taylor gets her foot in the door at Fox Sports and starts dressing provocatively in the office to get the attention of a higher-up.
It works.
She starts sleeping with Charlie Dixon, the Fox Sports executive vice president.
It destroys her marriage but it’s worth it because she gets to moderate Undisputed—a show in which Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe argue, almost to the point of tears—as Joy sits library quiet waiting for the producer in her ear to alert her when it’s time for a commercial break.
Ruined her family for the chance to say “ha ha okay, settle down boys. Next, is Dwayne Haskins the next Tom Brady??. We’ll be right back” and then she has to sleep with a strange man who always looks like he’s sneaking the last pudding out of the family fridge so she can wake up early as hell the next morning and do it all again.
But she grows greater ambitions.
Even sitting at a desk 100 yards away from Colin Cowherd—reporting outdated news once every hour, before again sitting quietly for the next 55 minutes as Colin Cowherd explains how being an NFL quarterback is kind of like running a hedge fund.
She strikes up a relationship with Emmanuel Acho in hopes of becoming a co-host on his show and it works.
Again.
Wow.
Enough chess pieces move and Joy Taylor ends up hosting her own show on Fox Sports where she gets to debate whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the GOAT.
She finally reached the pinnacle.
Joy Taylor gets to talk about the Dallas Cowboys for 2 straight hours. Mission accomplished. Let’s gooooooooooooo.
Uh, all she had to do was present herself as the final rotisserie chicken rotating in the grocery store mini oven that you grab last minute to feed your family after a long shift at work and you don’t really feel like cooking anything.
I truly do not recommend turning yourself into a sex slave for the chance to talk about the NFL MVP race on TV.
You don’t have to live that way.
2. Jason Taylor
On February 4th, 2017, Jason Taylor was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
On January 5th, 2025, Jason Taylor found out his sister was humping for cash.
3. Charles Dixon
Charlie Dixon looks like the last kid to find out Santa Claus isn’t real.
This man was given power and money and protection from a company that runs like Sterling Cooper Advertising Agencies—saw Joy Taylor looking like a busty caveman walking down the Fox Sports hallway and his eyes popped out of his head like the MGM cartoon wolf howling at a sexy redhead.
He looks like he still breastfeeds.
But what makes Charlie Dixon a loser—more so than allowing Joy Taylor to suck promotions out of his odd-shaped body or the fact that he looks like he leaves the bathroom uninhabitable for hours after he leaves it—is the fact that he shared Joy Taylor with Emmanuel Acho—an awkward geek whose desperation to be perceived as intelligent or important, radiates off the TV.
Joy Taylor was getting tossed back and forth by two guys who seem like they leave comments under porn videos.
4. Earl Watson
Earl Watson was a decent NBA player and a far worse head coach.
While married to Joy Taylor, she left Miami to make things happen in Los Angeles.
The lawsuit alleges Earl and Joy went out to dinner with Charlie Dixon and his wife when Earl quickly realized his wife was humping her boss. They filed for divorce shortly after this alleged dinner.
We all want to date people we admire—ambitious people who want more from their lives.
I reckon we don’t expect their ambition to be pursued without guardrails or boundaries. Not many guys tell their wives as they rush out the front door in the morning, “Hey, don’t forget to lie about how big he is. We’re so close to buying that villa in Ibiza.”
5. Skip Bayless
If you offer a woman one and a half million dollars to have sex with you and she declines without even considering how life-changing that money is, you should just go ahead and drive to a cabin in the middle of nowhere and spend the rest of your days in exile.
Like, Faraji wasn’t even considering the morality and ethics of sleeping with her superior.
She instantly reacted to the idea of Skip Bayless’s weird little wee wee and rejected without a single thought about paying off her credit card debt or her child’s college fund.
I had a feeling Skip Bayless was a perv.
It wasn’t a coincidence suddenly his wife Ernestine became a main character in all of his commentary. I didn’t even know the man was married then all of a sudden, all of his thoughts were centered around conversations he had juuuust had with his sweet, beautiful, talented, forgiving wife Ernestine.
Skip’s out of the game so I won’t pretend to care too much about what happens next in his life but Noushin Faraji deserves a national holiday for making Skip Bayless’s name toxic—saving us all from Amazon or one of these new networks being cute and bringing in this man who looks like the meat hot dogs are made out of back into our lives so he can scream about the clutch gene.
6. Fox
Fox News was rocked with a ton of creepy sex scandals a few years back so it should shock no one that their sports branch is also running like Apple TV’s The Morning Show.
I don’t have much to say here. You don’t need me to tell you that sexual harassment is bad.
The fact that Joy Taylor and Emmanuel Acho were on the air Monday less than 24 hours after this lawsuit leaked is the exact problem.
Those two special needs narcissists get to act like nothing bad is happening—even though they are breaking social media meme records—because nothing bad is happening.
Fox doesn’t care.
They’ll quietly cut that hairdresser a check and like, maybe not renew Emmanuel Acho’s contract or something but they’ll throw Skip Bayless under the bus and face zero consequences despite the VICE PRESIDENT begging women to take shots with him anytime he’s arm’s length from a bottle.
Actually, the more I describe Charlie Dixon, the more he’s guaranteed to have a White House cabinet position by the end of the year.
Not Joy, though.
She’ll have to stick to her podcast where she frequently talks about how she’s too good for most men and how expensive she is and yea no, she was so obviously banging for cash. She was telling us this whole time.
7. Noushin Faraji
I know it looks crazy to say the woman filing the lawsuit against this disgusting company is a loser but she was a loser in that over the course of all those years working for Fox, she lost so many good days.
It sounded like working for these people was hell.
She details how her direct supervisor constantly shit on her.
How one coworker freaked out at dinner and called her a “Persian bitch” before smashing a glass on the floor.
Faraji explains how a microphone guy was sexually harassing her and bragging about how he’ll never get fired.
Faraji worked at a salon where an old lady who happened to be a Fox exec frequented and was offered a job at the network.
She didn’t aspire to be a sports broadcaster or a TV personality.
It was probably an exciting, cool job. She thought she was working on a big TV network which I’m sure was cool as hell to tell friends and family. And then every day a new weirdo would manifest to terrorize her or plead for a crumb of pussy.
And worst of all, this will all lead to like, 3 more Nick Wright shows.
