Skip Bayless is a gift from God

Actually Skip Bayless is a jackass. I didn't say it first, we all know who did but he was right no the money.

Skip Bayless works for ESPN on 1st and 10 I believe and also does radio spots as well. He gets paid to take completley different views on everything in sports and is a shock jock, which therefore doesn't make him a qualified journalist.

I love the setup of 1st and 10 but can't watch it for more than 2 minutes without being driven to insanity with Bayless's stupdity and ignorance. He is Rush Limbaugh, not as ballsy but probably just as ignorant. At least Rush means everything he says, even if most of his viewpoints are about 150 years old.

The latest bomb dropped from Bayless' jackass was that Albert Haynesworth was a better pickup than Nnamdi Asomugha. So for the sack of me needing to get this off my chest, here is my breakdown of this shock jock's latest "brilliant" statement.


Star-divide

 

First off, I wanted the Eagles to get Albert Haynesoworth. He would of been his old self, reuniting with his mentor and former d-line coach Jim Washburn. It would of been great to see him destory the Skins right in front of the most egotistical coach in football, Mike Shanahan. Of course the Redskins didn't want that to happen, rightfully so, that is why they traded him for peanuts and half of a sandwich to the New England Patriots. Quick note, unless Albert is willing to take less money in a 3-4 defense that he hates, the Pats will have to release him in 2013 as he is set to make over $20  million that year.

 

Okay, back to the breakdown. First, you look at what each player means to his team both in the locker room and in the community. Nnamdi takes kids that live in the urban area that probably havn't been much further than their inner city and takes them on college tours to some of the best schools nation wide. He pays for the entire trip, arranges the entire trip and takes part in the entire trip. Albert Haynesworth stepped on guys head with his cleates still on while the dude was on his back on the ground. I could take more about Nnamdi's work in the community and all the incredibly self-less things he does for orphans and widows in Nigeria, but I think I have made my point. Oh yeah, fat Albert sexual harrassed a waitress, allegedly, which is set to go to court this month.

Of course, some people don't care about those kind of things as what you do on the football field is all that matters. One player can't divide a locker room and ruin a season can it? Why does the 2005 season all of the sudden ring a bell? Anyways let's compare what each player meant for their team statisically.

Albert Haynesworth had whopping 13 solo tackles, 3 sacks and did the worm once in 2010(something Nnamdi Asomugha has yet to accomplish in his career). Nnamdi Asomugha was targeted just 31 times in 14 games giving up ZERO touchdowns. Quarterbacks have refused to throw to Nnamid's side in the last few seasons.

Nnamdi is already stating that he would like to play the slot and be used similarily to the way the Packers have been using Charles Woodson.  There's a scary thought, one play Nnamdi is shutting down your best wide out the next he is coming on a delay blitz that Eli didn't even see coming.

Skip Bayless is allowed to have his opinion as is anyone, but you have to both back your opinion up and be ready for the backlash/rebutal when you say asinine things like that on national radio. Mike Greenberg disagreed with him on Mike in Mike, and Skip's best response was "Is this becuase your a Jet's fan?"

I agree

Skip is an idiot, Today he said eagles would go 10-6 and may not even host a playoff game. We did that last year without all the talent we added. He is completely one sides and loves to argue if someone across the table has a different view then his, even tho he knows that he is way out of line.

He gets paid to play devil's advocate

He’s also not terrible at it.

The fact people let themselves get riled up over what he says, though, is just plain silly.

I get what you’re saying, he’s basically a media “troll” just like we have forum trolls. The problem is that tolerating stupidity is not something that should be a good thing. On the forums, one person can reply and say “troll’d” and then we ignore them. When you say it on the media, it gets repeated, retweeted, over and over and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.

You may come here and rah-rah one thing

But your actions of caring enough to actually join the resident Eagles blog to talk shit tells me (and everyone else) you pissed your pants at the thought of the Eagles this season.

While your boys on the football field may wear gold pants, the color isn’t becoming on you.

You’re one little pussy bitch going to other blogs and picking fights… Eagles would kick the fucking dog piss out of the Steelers, and before you say “Harrison” or “Palawhateverthefuck” they can’t tackle what they can’t catch.

You Eagles fans sure are cocky, aren't you?

You add one corner and suddenly you’re good enough to beat the Steelers? Please. I’ll take the Steelers, Ravens, Patriots, Jets, Colts, Saints, and the Packers before I take the so-called “Dream Team” of the Eagles. I suggest you actually win some games before you talk shit.

Uh huh little pussy bitch.

Let’s see what we did..

  • We added a DE who had 12 sacks last season.
  • We added the best pass rushing DT on the market.
  • We added the best CB in the NFL.
  • We added great OL depth.

But it’s really now what we’ve brought in that makes us excited, it’s what we have in place already.

Thats the stupidest thing I've heard

it doesn’t matter what round we got to. We both lost to the same team (and we came closer to beating them) so the ‘how deep you got into the playoffs’ argument doesn’t count.

That’s funny because we beat the Colts last year with a. A much shittier roster + injures B. Dimitri fucking Patterson covering Reggie Wayne, and C. The refs making about 5 bullshit roughing the passer calls because Peyton Manning is their favorite QB

Lol apparently the Eagles are wors than the Colts, though maybe the worst starting CB, Dimitri Patterson, in the NFL last year SHUT DOWN the colt’s best reciever, Reggie Wayne. Now I wonder how well Nnamdi or DRC would fare if Patterson can be lockdown…

Do you gamble?

Because I wouldn’t ever suggest starting. You’d be really bad at it.

Well, seeing how we beat the Colts last year without all of these significant upgrades you have pretty retarded view on things.

Well it dealt with the patriots, so of course people at ESPN loved it.

by Ben16 on Aug 5, 2011 4:50 PM EDT reply actions  

I think it’s pretty idiotic for the simple fact that the biggest weakness of this team last year was a lack of play at RCB. We took our biggest weakness and filled it with perhaps the best player at that position in the game at a below market cost. Both are really good acquisitions though.

He said the same thing on 1st and 10

with a guy called Glauber. They were arguing over who had the best offseason, and Bayless went with the Patriots, because Haynesworth was a “game changer,” and Nnamdi wasn’t. Never mind that both teams picked up more than one (former) star, and that the Eagles did a lot more. Patriots got Haynesworth, end of story.

Bayless pisses me off to no end.

aren't all cowboys fans this infuriating though?

he can’t back shit up he just makes statements that hold no weight. but Ive grown to be used to it and usually tune him out if he’s not blowing the cowboys he’s talking shit on ocho cinco thats y he got famous in the first place because chad responded to him

meh

I would have gone with Skip dickless.
Brainless would have been more appropriate.

Put it like this: Neil Patrick Harris is gay, but he is the man.

So, being that Skip is a dumbass prick, I’ll insult him, not NPH.
