Skip Bayless is being called “nuts,“ a “complete psycho” and diagnosed with something known as “jinx demons.”

The person making the allegations about Skip Bayless is … Skip Bayless.

What Bayless is describing is how he watches games in his and his wife’s 5,000-square-foot condo that has three rooms, seven TVs — including two 70-inchers in his bedroom — and is located just two minutes from Fox Sports 1’s Los Angeles studios.

Bayless — American sports media’s most successful professional troll, as his $6.5 million salary attests — has a life centered around watching games. His wife, Ernestine Sclafani Bayless, has a life centered around making their marriage work. That sometimes means getting out of the way.

“She can’t be in my force field when I’m watching these games,” Skip said.

When they met 14 years ago, Skip cherished the fact that Ernestine knew nothing about sports. It could be argued they were on equal footing. There was a spark from the start. Skip quickly made it clear what would come first.

“I told her I’m married to my job,” Skip said. “I always have been. I had this weird feeling this could go somewhere. I told her, ‘If it ever does, you’ll always be 1A to my job.’ She hates me telling that story, but it is the God’s truth. At least I divulged myself up front, which I think she grudgingly appreciated.”

They met on the set of “Cold Pizza,” which was ESPN’s first take at “First Take.” She was a PR executive and had brought in “Entourage” actor Kevin Dillon, who portrayed Johnny “Drama” on the show, to the program’s Manhattan studios.

Skip and Ernestine would go on to date for 11 years before tying the knot three years ago. It was her first and his second marriage. He calls her a “firecracker,” which is an apt description. She is persuasive, and you could easily tell she was successful in PR.

For this story, she emailed The Post to promote her new quick-read book, titled, “Balls: How to Keep Your Relationship Alive When You Live with a Sports-Obsessed Guy.” In the book, Ernestine calls sports “the other woman.”

But the question was: What the heck is it like to be married to Skip Bayless? Are you always arguing? Ernestine is a quick draw with a one-liner.

“We don’t have a moderator who lives in the house,” Ernestine said.

She grew up near the Hamptons in Mastic Beach with a Jewish mother and an Italian father. She is a newspaper person, spending $400 a month on subscriptions. She has good taste as she is an avid Post reader.

Having moved west when Skip left ESPN for FS1, she sustains her New York roots by having bagels FedExed from Ess-a-Bagel and knishes from Yonah Schimmel.

She says they do not argue all the time, but she also fits her life around his games and his 2 a.m. weekday wake-up calls.

Though they sleep in separate rooms during the week, his treadmill workouts can be heard from her bed. She wrestles to fall back asleep, but always rises a little before 4 to see Skip to the door and wish him luck in his verbal TV battles with Shannon Sharpe.

She makes sure their afternoons are set up so Skip does not miss anything in sports.

“Sports in his veins,” Ernestine said. “If you cut him, little footballs and basketballs will come out. Skip is a sports guy. Skip doesn’t miss a game.”

When they started dating, Ernestine’s mother, Evelyn, told her she had to make a decision about these games.

“Is he worth it?” she said.

She decided yes. Fourteen years later, she wrote the book to try to help others deal with significant others who are addicted to sports, or as Skip puts it, “a bit nuts” about games.

“I lose it,” said Skip, 67. “I’m a psycho. I vent. I say words that I can’t repeat — that I’m ashamed I say.”

But it is jinxes where Skip is “completely psycho,” in his words. Everything has to be just right because he evidently has cosmic powers.

“I believe in God, but I also believe in jinxes,” said Bayless, answering a question that did not include God in it.

It turns out last year during the AFC Championship game when Tom Brady was intercepted in the end zone by the Chiefs’ Reggie Ragland, it was caused by Ernestine ruining Skip’s zen.

“[Brady] did that because she stuck her head in to ask me about something that was completely irrelevant,” Skip said of Ernestine asking about a letter he had received.

“Her fuse can be shorter than mine and we had a battle all night long. We kissed and made up at the end of the night. I said, ‘I’m sorry, but it is just a jinx rule that you have to honor.’”

They usually honor Friday nights as date night, unless there is a particularly big game.

“It is all about compromise,” Ernestine said.

She has learned to make it work, which is the point of her book.

“She’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me,” Skip said. “I get emotional about it because she is so real, so true and so loyal. I don’t know anyone who could put up with me, but she has from Day 1. We are not just good together. We are great together.”
