Skip Bayless doesn't see the difference between Leftwich and Flacco.

[DrUnk]

#1 - the dude's real name is John Edward Bayless II. How one derives "Skip" from that, I don't know. Perhaps that was what happened to him as a child when it came time to pick teams.

#2 - Any grown ass man who goes by the name Skip automatically deserves a punch in the face.

Agreed. Bayless can suck a fart out of my ass. What a toolbag.

Just one of the many reasons I stick with NFLN and online media for sports news. ESPN IMO is flat out terrible.

The only thing I enjoy, and I'm usually alone on this, is watching Woody Paige act like a Clown once and awhile on ATH.

[lobachevsky]

Once upon a time ESPN reported on the news of sports - now they try to manufacture it.

Not to get too o/t, but how is that any different from what the "mainstream media" did for the entire election season? It's the business model these days--s/he who gets the most eyeballs/pageviews/clicks wins, truth & insight be damned.

Bayless doesn't know the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground either. No audience, no show. I've stopped watching and caring for that matter.

I especially like Woody's "Fashion Plate" attire. Sort of looks like last year's kitchen curtains!

And is it just me or doesn't Skip Bayless also come across looking like some sort of malnevolent Keebler Elf?

Hey that is an insult to a Keebler Elf!!

Fool proof formula:

Simpleton + repetition + perception = reality

They constantly make him look stupid...I can see how that'd be frustrating.

He's laughing all the way to the bank. Turn him off.

I don't see the difference between Skip and an asshole.

An asshole has a valuable function.

[Captain Offense]

He reminds me of a bumper sticker:

" I am not useless. I can be used as a bad example."

Anybody who bothers to give him a second of their time has more than they need.

[PerpetuallyBored74]

I do see the difference between Skip Bayless and someone whose opinion is worth a damn.

Well NFLN's Heath Evans has a case of the ass for the Ravens as well. He stated on NFLTA that he guaranteed that the Steelers would win the division even with Ben out.

A lot of their hate comes from their disdain for Flacco. All I will say is that they will be proven wrong.

Skip purposely stirs the pot to get a rise out of folks.

30 post thread follows, complete with the outrage he seeks.

Skip wins again.

true.

if you seek a well informed opinion, dont look toward Skip Bayless.

Exactly. Everytime someone takes him seriously or starts a thread complaining about him, it gives he and ESPN exactly what they want. Like someone said earlier in the thread, he is a professional troll. He's like a sports version of a radio shock jock. If you stop complaining about him and stop watching/reading him he'll eventually never be heard from again.

[arnie_uk]

You do know he says all this to get ratings, and therefore money right?

It's probably not even his actual opinion.

[Cj34]

If you really want to see what ESPN has sunk to, read this article.

They're like a sports National Enquirer now. The article covers a lot of stuff ESPN has done recently but it doesn't even mention one of their other hack jobs, running with the Bernie Fine story.

Winner!!!

[RavensQB]

Hell if they got Mike Preston on the show with him. COULD YOU IMAGINE THE RATINGS THEN!!!

[GOTA]

I love it when Bayless talks crap. He looks dumber and dumber every time.
