Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

the national pundits outside of God himself (aka hollinger) suck at nba analysis.

for real, check out kelly dwyer he's prob best nba writer around.

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

yeah he said the odds on minnesota winning the nba title back him up, he said boston was like 80-1 to win it all and minn 75-1, just looked and i saw minn 175-1 and boston 10-1 so LOL at skip, but hes actually right most of the time

No.

He's a hack.

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

yeah, a big hack

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

I remember when skip said that if the Timberwolves had had Tim Duncan instead of Kevin Garnett they would have won 5 rings. There is no excuse for this kinda thing being broadcast outside of The Onion.

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

Oh god did he really say the Twolves are better THIS YEAR than the Celtics???? That has to be the dumbest thing i've ever heard him say, and that says A LOT since he has said a ton of dumb thing throughout his career.

yea those used to be great, i really think though that his whole act is something that espn likes and probably encourages him to keep up, its like hes made out to be the guy everyone hates, it would be boring if everyone just said the same things all day.

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

I did hear one espn on air guy (forget who) say that it is def all an act in one of those chat sessions on espn.com. He pretty much said hes a real nice guy, and its all just for show etc.

But I don't care and still hate him.

yeah his whole shtick is just to argue against what the obvious opinion is. i know a lot of people like this i laugh at them too but its fun to argue with them.

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

Every time one of you guys makes a thread or post about how much Skip sucks or how retarded he is or how much he puts you on tilt, all you're doing is admitting that you just got leveled by Skip [censored] Bayless.

Obvious an exaggeration but good try. He does make me angry enough to turn off the channel and not watch ESPN for a few hours. But I hardly think I'm the only one who has that feeling.

I hate sensationalism in sports journalism, its a huge annoyance to me. And the main reason ESPN has turned into such [censored].

Being an over the top idiot as a sports journalist on television = more air time. Its just like what ESPN has made televised poker into. You get rewarded for being retarded.

The difference between the two is I can easily live without watching ME coverage on ESPN, but I really enjoy sports television.

Except I get it (I think) and I still hate him. He isn't just retarded for the stupid arguments he comes up with (assuming it isnt a level) he is also retarded for thinking that this level (assuming it is) is actually clever or funny or whatever. IOW, these are even terrible FAKE arguments. Plus the condescending idea that we all need some idiot to make fake arguments because we are all too dumb to just have intelligent sports debate on television.

Agree completely, I know its a level, sweet. Its still an example of everything that is wrong with where sports tv journalism is right now.

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

Here's the stupidest thing he's said:

He said that the NBA draft lottery should be made so that everyone has even odds. Also, he said to include all the teams from the NBA in the draft lottery. Yeah, I stopped watching him after that.

including all the teams in the draft lottery is retarded, but giving them all even odds is not that bad of an idea IMO.

I think it is a good argument. Most sports debates are either easily settled or unanswerable. Most people who debate sports for a living may have more information, but they also apply it wrong in all sorts of obvious way.

Skip Bayless is there to get people watching by being counterintuitive and contradictory. The strategy works.

Yeah, I mean if it's not him (he gets taken off the air), it'll just be some other ass-clown that gets promoted. Skip Bayless is just "the guy" who plays this role right now.

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

Man, did I love it when this guy left the Chicago Tribune. Pretty much everything he says/writes is negative and no the nth degree.

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

i actually think he is pretty good. his ohio state prediction earlier this year now looks pretty amazing. hes better than the two live stews, who i literally diagree with about everything.

him ranting and raving is obviously an act and can excuse him from some of his ridiculousness....but saying things like the twolves are better than the celtics just means your probably the worst analyst of all time

there is a legitmate chance that the TWOLVES finish last in the leauge and the celtics win the championship...that's just him not knowing anything and it pisses me off that he has such a sweet job

so he makes ridiculous predictions and once in a while he's right.... a monkey could outpick him... i'm not kidding

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

he's ESPN's best troll, of many

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

I HAVE to bump this thread.

I wanted to start a separate thread about him, but you all might've yelled at me.

Anyways, this man is a [censored] joke. He knows NOTHING about sports. For someone who is paid to follow sports and then talk about/debate various issues in the sporting world, he simply cannot do [censored].

Seriously, this guy is the biggest clown on television.

[censored] Skip Bayless

Re: please take skip bayless off the air
 

bump for him just saying Todd Boeckman should win the heisman

this guy makes Solomon Wilcots look good

I still think he does what ESPN wants him to do, be the idiot that everyone hates. I mean it has to be an act because no one can be that dumb right?


Although I'm pissed at him more now becasue he picked the Browns to go to the playoffs which probably means they are gonna go 6-10 now. Sigh...

You can see him reading everything he says. He's a puppet with writers intent on making people upset. I understand the strategy, but the schtick is just a little too much - it's to the point where I just don't watch anything he's on at all instead of just getting all into the debate that he's trying to start up to fill air time. They need to at least be a little more subtle about it.
