SuitedAces21 2,723 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 skip bayless is the worst decision since brian dunkleman left american idol. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 So wait, am I the only one here that changes the channel when Bayless comes on? I guess I just assumed that was normal...I actively try not to watch people who piss me off, whether it's on purpose or just due to being horrible people.I've never even seen him on tv, just a couple times on youtube (and articles where people say how awful he is, confirmed by the few clips I've seen).

CaneBrain 95 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The fact that Skip Bayless produced a page worth of discussion is exactly why ESPN puts him on the air even though he is objectively terrible. Skip Bayless is not awful. He's perfect. He accomplishes exactly what ESPN wants him to accomplish. Whether his opinions are correct (mostly not) is irrelevant. Those ESPN2 shows are for people who want to argue about sports. Skip's job is to take contrarian and outlandish positions to produce controversy and then defend them to the death.If you want good insight, watch NBA-TV (with Chris Webber) or Edge NFL matchup with Jaws. If you want to yell loudly and burst a blood vessel, watch ESPN First Take. I've watched it exactly once; after the Heat won the Eastern Conference last year to see Skip's head explode.

BigDMcGee 3,353 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I like skip when I'm in the right mood for it. He's such a blatant troll, that I have to respect the game. I particularly like it when it's him and Steven A on first take ( Steven A left the show several years ago, and there have been rotating black men in the seat since then. Recently he's returned to the show, but on a rotating basis), because I think the two of them are such clowns. I know steven a says ridiculous shit, but I just love the way he says everything. I could listen to him read a phone book. The only guy on ESPN who's actual opinion I take seriously on anything is that fat, frumpy stats guy on numbers never lie. Otherwise, I'm looking for entertainment value. Link to post Share on other sites
speedz99 145 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 But is he a troll on purpose, or just a complete ******* that ESPN uses as a troll? Link to post Share on other sites

bat 0 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Cris Collinsworth = douchebagAgreed. Listening to him is almost as bad as being forced to watch a tatted up, washed up soccer player get filmed up and down in his underwear during a modern day gladiator manly mens sport.... wtf?!? I do want to own that mullet of an automobile or Porsche with the Volkswagon bug rear end though.... Business in the front/party in the back! Link to post Share on other sites

SuitedAces21 2,723 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 people are saying that the chiefs are a real possibility for manning. or at least that the team wants him. not sure how i feel about it though. he's old and the team was bad last year. but he's peyton manning. i guess i'd say do it because they only have to give up money to get him. but keep cassell just in case manning dies on the first play or something.

DJ Vu 176 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I hope he goes to Miami. It makes the most sense; they have some legitimate pieces in place. Plus, Brady vs. Manning twice a year. Manning vs. Rex Ryan. Cardinals are only interesting because of Fitzgerald. If he chooses the Redskins, he is stupid. I don't want him to go to the Jets because I hate the Jets. And two Mannings in New York? That town isn't big enough...well, no, I suppose it's plenty big enough. Whatever. Why isn't Tennessee on the list of potential suitors? Or the 49ers?
