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.

people who appreciate intelligent sports debate are in the minority.

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

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.

Type "Skip Bayless" into the Google Toolbar search and the first listing in the drop down is "Skip Bayless sucks". LOL

I can troll with the best of 'em, but seriously, quit watching ESPN and get a life. TV "journalism" pretty much sucks altogether. But subconsciously, you can't wait to turn on the boob tube and watch these guys...

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.

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.
