Your thoughts on Skip Bayless / First Take

RollDanTide · Post #1 » by **RollDanTide** » Tue Jun 18, 2013 2:50 pm

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to know how you all felt about Skip Bayless leading basically what amounts to a Spurs fan rally on First Take the past few days. Personally, I think he's a douche, a complete joke, and always has it in for the Heat/Lebron, but was very curious as to what you guys thought about him.

i see people in usa follow him, but for us living outside i myself ignore him..never seen on youtube say anything solid bout basketball
the program itself is just to entertain people then discuss real basketball

He said Heat would win the Finals before the season started, but then goes full homer mode (he is not even from SA) on the Spurs.

He become tolerable and wasn't a LBJ hater anymore, but this is just so juicy for him. I haven't watched first take but I know the **** he says on twitter.

I bet he said how Manu would rise up like Batman or some **** right for Game 5?

He always hated the Heat, hated LeBron, this is a great opportunity for him to bag on LeBron too. Meh, he is a real life troll.

The fact that some of you people get offended off what he says is hilarious and just shows how mentally weak minded you are. Skip baits you on purpose and by you getting offended to what he says, that's what helps pay his bills...

For future: don't take what he says seriously...

He is the pimple on the face of the basketball world. The epitome of overreaction and media sensationalism. Everything that is wrong with sports coverage today.

Not sure if you were referring to me, but trust me, I'm not that offended. lol

I know he is a troll and that's how he pays his bills, but still, I'd love to know people's opinions on the guy.

It wasn't aimed at you, it was just aimed at anybody who gets offended by what he says. There's a lot of people on this site that takes what he says seriously for some odd reason...

Skip Cluless is a joke. Burns every bridge, should be arrested for theft every payday. Pretty soon he'll run out of employers to steal from.

I feel you dream. But skip is still a waste of human skin. A waste of human organs.

My question to you is: WHY ARE YOU WATCHING HIM ??

By watching, you help fill his pockets with cash.
Just ignore the moron.

If any of you think Skip believes even half of what he says, you're delusional.

He finds divisive issues and takes an extreme stance. Then his ratings go through the roof when people can't change the channel because they want to see him get told he's wrong.

In reality, I doubt he has anything against LeBron. Although LeBron is totally deserving of whatever criticism he's getting. This is two times in three years that he has shrunk on the biggest of stages.

I think less of anyone if I find out they listen/watch/care about him. He is what is wrong with journalism. Its better to be loud and wrong than right and provide quality analysis. He still claims Tebow is better than Aaron Rodgers. How can this guy still have a job? Because people like you watch.

Number13Beast · Post #13 » by **Number13Beast** » Tue Jun 18, 2013 5:05 pm

To be fair Skip gave the Pacers minimal to no respect in the last series with the Heat. He knows the Heat / LeBron are great. He talked a lot of crap in the past but its diminished considerably since last years championship.

The Tebow worship is the only thing I dislike.

I don't understand it either, but he does a pretty good job at riling people up.

That man is paid to bash some popular players and take controversial stances to generate more interest. Think of him like watching WWE where you can sort of enjoy what you see, but you actually know its all fake.

I'm not the biggest fan of Mark Cuban, but I love the way he made Skip look in this vid.

That means he is doing his job. That's why he is on first take.
