One thing that I did NOT know is that his older brother is Skip Bayless! That is wild. Never much of a Skip Bayless fan, but that connection is pretty cool. I guess Rick got all the niceness and Skip got the meanness.

Thu Sep 03 18:44:00 -0700 2009 5003699 277493 DallasDude 1 5003917 Nice bio - I have an old Time-Life cookbook from the 80s on Mexican cuisine, and remember Rick being one of the contributors. I've always enjoyed his shows for their well-rounded approach to the innumerable foods and drinks in Mexican cuisine. I guess I'm lucky that I neither care much for most sports anymore as well as not having cable or sat. I had no idea who this Skip-guy is but he is obviously living proof that every family has "one of those."
