Kay Adams lined up for stunning move to replace Joy Taylor at Fox Sports after controversial host's exit

Kay Adams is a leading contender to join Fox Sports in the wake of Joy Taylor’s shock departure from the network, according to reports.

Earlier this week it was revealed that Taylor, who had co-hosted FS1 sports talk show ‘Speak’ since September 2022, is out at Fox Sports after nearly a decade as part of a major shake-up that will see three programs cancelled.

As well as Speak, FS1 is also said to be bringing morning shows ‘Breakfast Ball’ and ‘The Facility’ to an abrupt end.

Taylor, 38, had worked on a number of different shows in her nine-year stint with Fox, yet the company has decided not to renew her expiring contract this summer – just months after she was accused of sleeping with colleagues to further her career and ignoring a co-worker’s Sєxual harᴀssment complaints in a bombshell lawsuit.

Now FS1 will be on the hunt for new on-air talent, and Front Office Sports claims Adams, 39, is being lined up for new shows on the network’s cable arm.

The popular sportscaster and TV personality, who currently presents her own daily sports show ‘Up & Adams’ on FanDuel TV, is reportedly in the running to join Fox on the back of Taylor’s exit.

She has a wealth of experience after previously hosting NFL Network’s Good Morning Football and special events for the Chicago Bears, while she has also worked on DAZN’s broadcasting team for boxing events in the past.

As well as Adams, male sports personalities Tony Reali and Max Kellerman are also believed to be on Fox’s radar, with the network also in need of replacements for the likes of Emmanuel Acho, Keyshawn Johnson and LeSean McCoy – who are also out along with Taylor.

Reali, the longtime host of canceled ESPN program ‘Around the Horn’, is quoted as saying by FOS that he’s interested in ‘absolutely everything.’

Despite planning to be ‘discerning’ about his future, the 47-year-old reportedly has ambitions to work ‘in both the TV and digital spaces at the same time.’

‘I’m open to talking to anybody and everybody at all times,’ Reali said, according to the report.

Kellerman, meanwhile, has had a long and successful career in broadcasting most notably as a co-host on ESPN’s First Take and as a boxing analyst and commentator for HBO.

Taylor is taking her mind off of her Fox departure by soaking up the sun on a family vacation in The Bahamas this week.

The former presenter took several racy snaps from the trup to the Exuma Islands, posing on a swing wearing just a blue ʙικιɴι in one of the pH๏τos and enjoying a boat day with her sister-in-law, Monica, in another.

Monica is married to Taylor’s brother, Jason, the former NFL player.

A ʙικιɴι-clad Taylor left little to the imagination in a third snap as she stood in the crystal clear ocean.

Later that day she shared a video on Instagram of herself in a тιԍнт-fitting blue workout set performing a series of exercises.  

Taylor could be seen jumping rope and carrying out arm workouts with a resistance band on an outdoor deck overlooking clear blue sea.
