Skip Bayless says...

[Uncle Si]

It's time to stop calling experts experts 'cause they're nothing more than analysts who discuss what happened in the last 48 hours, and people listen to them in order to hear things to agree or disagree with.

Richard Sherman hasn't told Skip Bayless that he's allowed to speak yet.

I approve this message.

Yes, I agree!

That article is so incredibly good. I can't believe I'd never seen it before.

 

[BlueThunder]

Why does anybody listen to this guy? Even when he talks up the Seahawks, I don't put any weight into it because he don't know shit. I give more cred to this one blathering idiot I work with that said today he was hoping for a Seahawks/49ers Super Bowl! :34853_doh:

Everybody on this board is better at life than Skip Bayless!

Speak? who told him he's out of "Time Out" yet?

The reaction to this guy is puzzling.

We all know his tactic, "Say something controversial so that you get a lot of people talking about it and occasionally sprinkle in enough sports insight that people think you know what you are talking about". He is the TV equivalent of clickbait titles. So what?

If he had mentioned that the Seahawks were not going to win the SB, there would be a thread about him. If he mentions the Seahawks are going to win the SB, there is a thread about him. Apparently, no matter what he says people are going to be up in arms about it so we might as well put a sticky called "Skip Bayless is a big Poopyhead" right on the top of the board and save everyone trouble.

Frankly, given what the Seahawks have accomplished already in the past 1 and half seasons - we have a lot to be excited about. I don't think anyone, even the biggest Wilson fan, thought on draft day that he would impact the franchise like he has. This franchise hit the jackpot.

So who cares what an ESPN guy that probably isn't even sharing his real opinion says? All threads like this do is make us look petty. I don't even know if I dislike the guy or not, since it is clear he is just playing a cartoon character on TV. I doubt 65% of what he says is even what he really thinks.

Sure, maybe they will go 15-1 or 14-2, 13-3, 12-4, 11-5, 10-6 or 9-7. Right now the only guarantee that can't be changed is 9-1, it's a long season, there is no telling how the rest of it ends.

 

[HawkFan72]

I don't care what Skip says.

He's only saying that now because he knows he's on the fast track to being wrong about his preseason picks.

You may be right overall, but take it easy. This is a FORUM where people come to talk about worthless sports topics. The "it makes us look petty" line is ridiculous. A) who cares. B) who cares. C) it's all for fun.

Good Points. Years ago the board threw around the idea of adding a Forum to the board called 'The National Media No Respect Forum' due to the prevalence of topics whining about what some talking head said. The phenomenon has never really gone away and is as curious as ever.

Skip is a tool of sports talk and will blow crap out his mouth every chance he gets. He is the Jerry Springer of football. Does anyone take him seriously? Sorry if do.

Please give a round of applause to Chris Broussard aka espn first takes nba analyst.

I also thought that the other dude was decent also.

The other dude, aka the college football guy was absolutely spot on in everything with the exception of the falcons who they all thought were going to be good. He called kaeps troubles, called Wilson and the hawks. Poor dumb skip said the hawks wouldn't even make a wildcard, lol. Or at least he wasn't for sure, haha.

I think his entire schtick is just try to get fans upset so you build a story around yourself. Skip just doesn't know much about sports but he is excellent at marketing.

 

[BlueTalon]

BAD JUJU! Skip says we'll go 15-1, which means we won't go 15-1! NOOOOOOO

Of course not. We're going 18-1.

 

[LawlessHawk]

Yeah Knell, pretty much nailed it.

All you tweeters should clog up Little Skippy's twitter feed with links to that video. His whole shtick is always way funnier when it's revisted months later...

It's what happens when TV personalities get their NFCW information from a Niner board. It's like Skip was reading the WZ all off-season.

 

[HawkFan72]

Man that other guy owned that segment. He makes Skip look like a fool in hindsight and called that Wilson is better than Kaepernick when no one else was.

 

[Lynch Mob]

u know he did'nt want to say it but he did'nt want to sound dumb down the road. Him and Stephen A. Smith are forty whiner fans.
