I know Skip Bayless is the lowest of the low hanging fruit, but this is the twisted logic he is spewing now:

The fact that Payton Manning led Denver to a 1st, a 1st, and a 2nd best conference rating, and didn't deliver a Super Bowl is proof that he is complete poo poo.

What the gently caress is wrong with this guy?

He did the same poo poo with LeBron James: 4 years in Miami, and only won the NBA Championship 50% of the time? loving bum.

I'm not a fan of either of those guys, but c'mon.

Yeah the only good ESPN shows are Highly Questionable w Bomani, Dan, and Papi and Pardon the Interruption (which is fading as they're becoming curmudgeons). AtH is ok depending on the guests.

I really liked Highly Questionable, before Bomani Jones joined. The show was much better when it was just the father/son dynamic. He just seems like a 3rd wheel

It took a while, but he's fitting in better. They work together way better on the radio, though, where they have a little more flexibility in time and content.

It was kinda awesome without Bomani just because it was so weird, but it's way better as an actual sports show with him.

Skip Bayless is a character. He is the equivalent of the bad guy wrestler getting in the ring and telling you things that will make you angry. I don't know why anyone gets mad at him or why anyone would want to watch that show.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Going with this analogy, I could see Barkley as George "The Animal" Steele.

I really sort of don't like Bomani. He seems like a tryhard. Kind of like SVP. They're both better than 99 percent of that network and are OK at times.

I have nothing but respect for John Saunders, Jeremy Schaap, and Mitch Albom.

Yes, most everyone else there is a clown (Woody Paige, Dan LeBetard,), a blowhard (ESPN First Take, Mike Lupica) or both (Bob Ryan, Dan Shaughnessy, Tony Kornheiser)

Really? Albom seems insanely schlocky to me, but to be honest, I don't pay much attention to the station anymore, so their cast of characters all sort of blends together. Im still not convinced Trey Wingo, SVP and one of the other guys I can't remember right now aren't the same person.
