I can't find a solid link to it, but I've seen Richard Deitsch mention it a few times since before Christmas I don't want to live in a world where Skip Bayless gets paid more than Harrison Barnes, Nerlens Noel, Marcus Smart, Andre Drummond, Jose Altuve, Justin Smoak, etc. etc. etc.

Personally, I don't want to live in a world where a TV network with a reach of 90 million viewers will pay someone who says that a high profile basketball player's rape trial gives him "sizzle" $4million a year. And that's before the unending shitshow that was the unending Tim Tebow fellatio

It makes me wonder how they came to that figure? I would think the kind of people who watch him would watch any talking head who spews bad opinions he doesn't actually believe. Is his following so great that they wouldn't save money by putting Joe Loudmouth on at the same time for $200K a year?

Well they're paying Stephen A Smith $3million a year so think about this: the hosts of First Take are earning a combined $7million a year

Nothing is going to beat that article someone wrote about how 'Bryce Harper is the Conservative Superhero, and Jason Heyward is terrible because reasons' (well, because he's black, but we can't outright say this).

His title even accidentally invokes regression to the mean hahahaha "The Easiest Way to Lose 125 Pounds Is to Gain 175 Pounds" Imagine if he had skipped that day in stats class.

He's kind of a doofus and not a very good sports writer, but good for him. Next step: give up and shave your dang head so you don't have like six greasy rear end strings hanging down the front and look less like an accountant with a spare hard drive full of child porn.

I saw the Mantle bat flips thing. Truly awesome. It's some serious nostalgia poo poo when a full-blown alcoholic who played drunk and bragged to the Yankees about getting a blow job under the bleachers is lionized as being some classy paragon of baseball virtue.

Bob Ryan also called Marc Jackson a bible-thumping phony yesterday, openly lamented the fact that ABC/ESPN hired him for commentary, and complimented him on being a great con man. Whether it's insulting people or using Twitter, Bob Ryan goes turbo.
