Skip Bayless
 

Man do I [censored] hate this guy. There's no other sports talking head/commentator that I truly hate besides him. I mean I think guys like Walton, Theisman, etc are dumb but I don't HATE them.

Today I was watching 1st & 10 at lunch with my coworkers and had to ask them to change the channel bc the guy was making my [censored] blood boil. How can one man be such a hater. He was ragging on LBJ again today. I'm not even a huge LBJ fanboy, but he's undoubtedly a top 5 NBA player (some might argue higher); and you could swap out any player in his prime in basketball history for LBJ in this series and the Cavs still wouldn't win. The team is just that outmatched in this series. MJ, Wilt, Magic, Bird, Dr. J, Kobe, whoever would lose in LBJ's shoes. Skip doesn't acknowledge this, he just blames LBJ for everything.

Another reason to hate this bastard: Jay [censored] Culter. Skip thinks Cutler is gonna be the next Marino or Namath just bc he's a Vandy alum. Now if Denver is good this year with him starting I'll have to listen to this [censored] all year. And if he's a failure, good ol Skip will make some lame ass excuse bailing Cutler out.

Sorry to rant, but does anyone actually like this guy or watch his show?

If you traded out LBJ for Jordan the Cavs would not be getting swept. Agree they still wouldn't win the series.

Re: Skip Bayless
 

Skip Bayless is one of a select few television personalities who evoke in me a strong and negative physiological reaction. How he has managed to keep his job is a mystery. I'd like to see him get punched in the crotch by one of the butch chicks from "American Gladiators"

Re: Skip Bayless
 

I too am mystified at how Skip Bayless still has a job. He's not one of those edgy guys who make outlandish statements that you can't help but watch, but he's so offensively stupid that I'll reflexively turn the channel if I see his face or here his voice. Completely unwatchable.

Skip is pure unintentional comedy gold.

i hope he gets AIDS from stuart scott

I voted "meh hes a douche" only because "diagf plz skip" is reserved for Joe [censored] Morgan and Tim McCarver.

Re: Skip Bayless
 

I agree to an extent...I completely agree that Skip is god awful annoying, but I think he is kind of setup to try and say things that will get a rise out of people. And I don't know exactly what he said about LBJ, but many people have criticized LBJ throughout this series and rightly so.


I mean you just can't have it both ways, (and I'm somewhat of a LBJ fan, not huge, but definitely don't dislike him) he can't be called the god of all things for bringing them to the finals and then not get criticized when he doesn't a whole lot in the finals.

I think he's pretty lame and hardly ever makes a good point...like I said, I think he just tries to either get a rise out of whoever is sitting across from him and "they" are supposed to be the people who set him straight. Obviously if he said Jordan, or whoever would have won this series, then that is a ludicrous statement.

Re: Skip Bayless
 

ugh, i can't stand this guy and it's not just the dumb points he makes, i just want to take a swing at that face...i want to smash my head against the wall when him and paige go at it...

Re: Skip Bayless
 

What's wrong with you? It's clearly all just an act. Certainly, he doesn't believe all that stupid stuff he says. He just likes aggravating people and playing devil's advocate. He's like a gigantic Rick-rolling troll on the message board of life.

Is Page done with Cold Pizza or whatever it is they are calling it nowdays (First Take sounds right?) I'm not a regular watcher, but it seems like he hasn't been on for a while now.

Yeah he's been done for some months now. Went back to his Colorado newspaper or something full time. I miss him, he made that show.

I think he would be good on talk radio (ratings wise) because of this. He would make ridiculous statements all day and stupid people that didn't know better would call in to yell at him.

He used to fill in for Jim Rome occasionally (maybe still does) on Jim's radio show and it was exactly like what you pictured it was; 3 straight hours of his silly opinions and emailers/callers just yelling at him and telling him how stupid he is and how much he sucks.

Re: Skip Bayless

Skip's gem of the day- "Robert Horry is a much better post-season player than Stockton or Malone"

I love that he actually leaves his co-hosts shaking their heads. I think he might actually be retarded.

Re: Skip Bayless
 

skip bayless is a moron, mac destroyed him today and skip jus couldnt accept he was wrong

Re: Skip Bayless
 

skip vs. michael duncan clarke fight was the best thing ever...it ended up clarke wanted to big a fight with him because skip called him for jumping on the Bears bandwagon (clarke is the big black guy who was in Green Mile, Daredevil, etc.)

Re: Skip Bayless
 

I like it when Skip goes up against the 2 Live Stews. Two against one, plus the two individually know infinitely more about sports than Skip does.

I don't know why I ever watch Cold Pizza/First Take. It's such a horrible show. I think I watch because a) there's not much else on in the morning, and b) there's something about Dana Jacobson that strikes my fancy.

i could not disagree more with the 2 live stews. they are so dumb

Re: Skip Bayless
 

I do not believe that Skip actually believes what he's saying on Cold Pizza. Nobody qualified enough to be on a national television show dedicated to sports could ever believe the words that come out of his mouth.

He gets owned every single time he speaks and still continues on as if he's right. Somebody needs to start a fire Skip Bayless campaign because I'm too lazy to do it.

wasnt he one of the few people to predict GS over the Mavs?

I said it in another Skip bashing thread, but I stopped listening to the guy completely when he said Jerry Rice never did anything spectacular in his career

I love how Skip Bayless evokes such a reaction out of you that you begin transposing middle and last names. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Skip Bayless
 

Skip plays the villain character and hates on all the popular stars. He gets ratings for the same reason liberals watch fox news.

No, before. GS over Dallas was the trendiest of trendy upset picks. GS owned Dallas in the regular season. Everyone who looked at anything past the seedings could see that one coming.
