Skip Bayless made it obvious today he doesn't like Cris Carter

[CowboysFanSince88]

Damm, the debate got kind of serious and out of control and skip was no longer being funny. The way he was looking at Cris carter made the show kind of arkward at that moment. I never seen any of Cris Carter and skip debates but what has happened in the past to make Skip get so hype today with Cris?

[Phoenix]

Don't like and have never liked Skip.

Would love to see him and Troy together though. :D

[BraveHeartFan]

Who knows? I wish I'd seen this though. Sounds like it might have actually been interesting.

Hey is it just me or does anyone get distracted by C.Carters eyebrows. They look like Groucho's, eh just saying

Yeah that made no sense because Skip never played football. That would be something Skip would say to Cris

Carter always talks like he still plays, that's a little irritating.

LOL. Honestly. I can't stand to listen to him. He rambles on and on. He is terrible to listen to.

Skip really doesn't like Stephen A. Smith.

Skip really doesn't like Stephen A. Smith.

They are friends

[dogunwo]

Skip really doesn't like Stephen A. Smith.

I think alot more people like Stephen A Smith then people realize. I remember Cowherd talking about how Smith was very well liked and popular, and although he didn't want to mention any names there were people at ESPN where it is assumed they are well liked, but irritate a lot of people.

I bet he was referring to Chris Berman.

[OILERMAN]

Skip Bayless made a total *** of himself. Carter is a great player and the fact he was never on a SB winning team has no bearing on his opinions. Bayless said he didn't care that Carter was a player and said he still knew more... yea ok.

A few weeks ago they were ranking their top 3 QBs in the league and Bayless didn't have Rodgers in the top 3. Need I say more?

[ThreeSportStar80]

Skip really doesn't like Stephen A. Smith.

What? You can't be serious... They are close friends.

I thought Skip's "No ring" comment was a low blow. But Skip did apologize the day after.

Be that as it may, it's all must-watch television. ESPN's First Take, from what I understand, has drawn huge ratings because of Skip, Steven A. Smith and Tim Tebow. They're now devoting much of their programming to Tim Tebow.

I like Tim Tebow. And I watch, especially when they talk about him. But it is getting to be a bit overkill.

And what I fear is that those who genuinely like Tebow are growing to dislike him because of the ultra hype surrounding him and the irrationality of fans who support him.

Again, I support Tebow. But I understand those who criticize his game, particularly for the first three quarters. I don't expect those who spend their lives analyzing games to embrace the "intangibles" because you can't measure intangibles.

But even if you can't measure them, you have to at least acknowledge them.

I've got to go on Youtube and see if I can find video of this segment. It sounds like it was quite entertaining.

I knew right away that Skip didn't like Cris Carter because you don't like to debate anything with people you don't care to talk to. You let people who you like get away with saying certain things to you but not people you who can't stand to be around. I don't think you see Cris and Skip together again on the show

I like how Cris was always looking at Stephen A, practically begging him to help with his argument but Stephen A was just sitting there looking ahead and then finally Stephen A jumped in.

[InmanRoshi]

I like it better with the song.

He wasn't looking at Stephen A. Smith to give him help. He was looking incredulous because Skip dismissed his experience as an NFL player.

Thank you very much kind sir.

:huh:

I don't think it has anything to do with like and dislike. Cris Carter is witty and edgy. And Skip Bayless is accustomed to being the wordsmith. But Carter is better at it. Carter is like Shannon Sharp. Bayless doesn't like that. And then he (Bayless) is a passionate supporter of Tebow. So when Carter offered his NFL experience, Bayless countered the only way he could, by pointing to his experience as a sports reporter, one in the business longer than Carter has been in professional football. When Carter tried to trump him again with his NFL experience, Bayless shot back with the ultimate putdown - no rings.

But Bayless apologized the next day and said he respects Cris Carter.

I don't think they mutually dislike one another. I think they got caught up in the debate - which ESPN encourages based on its ratings. Tebow talk is ratings gold now.

As much as I like Tebow, I'm kind of getting tired of it now.

I didn't say they dislike each other, I said it was clear from that video that Skip does not like Cris carter.

You see what I did there.

[CowboysFanSince88]

what did you do?

[JohnsKey19]

Stephen A. is very good at what he does, whether it's writing or creating an image on TV/Radio that people love to hate. When the lights and mics are off, he's a good dude. It's too bad many people don't know that.

[tyke1doe]

The mutual dislike statement was mine, not yours.

Be that as it may, I don't think Skip dislikes Carter. He said he has much respect for Cris Carter. I think, as with many heated discussions, people who don't want to relent go for the "kill shot." Reminding Carter he has no rings is a "kill shot." :)

Skip took a low blow at steven A smith today joking about his receding hairline-lol That proved that they are friends. Only a friend can joke like that with another friend.

As for Carter, you can have respect for someone but not like them.
