Sorry?

What the hay was that about?

Answering "Why is the world so crazy?" I know it's a little off topic.

Because you are afraid of what others might think of you. But in the real world people suffer from depression and who knows how many lives are saved from people with mental health issues seeing a athlete admit to it. The world is bigger than football.

you dont know me... I can promise you I dont give 1 **** about what anyone thinks of me except my wife and kids. I am an open book, but I dont go on social media and cry. My wifes dad died 2 years ago, it was devastating to me. But I didnt have any need to go on facebook and cry and post about it. Not because im worried about what others will think, but people on facebook arnt the ones I share those things with.

Alright well just because you’re old and didn’t take care of your mental health doesn’t mean these young guys should be as reckless and do the same. You clearly have some form of brain damage and should’ve seemed some from of mental help being as insensitive you are towards people with depression.

you my friend are absolutely clueless. In the military, in theater, you dont have time to sit and be depressed and cry. Your brothers all depend on you, as you do them. I have no issues/....... but then again, I understood a combat zone wasnt the place to sit and whine about my "feelings."

The difference is that Dak is talking about dealing with normal recovery issues that every has. You would have a point if Dak was talking about this stuff in the huddle in the 4th quarter of a close game. He wasn't, he said he dealt with several emotional blows and he said it like a normal person should.

And I was in Desert Storm too and had Vietnam Vets tell me I had it easier than they did. They were right, and those guys had WWII Vets telling them the same thing.

The WWII Vets had WWI Vets telling them "You wimps got hot chow and free cigarettes"

and us gulf war vets clearly did have it easier than Vietnam

And that should be the last thing that guy says on TV. Fire him.

Gotta love talking heads talking about mental health. Or speculating about sexual orientation. Never change Skip. Might confuse us.

Go seek some help. It’s never too late.

idk what any one expects when u make these stupid shows were the entire point is to say stupid things to get clicks and views and trending on social media. they are all losers with no talent or integrity.

Dak has lost his mom and his brother earlier than he should have. Jeez Skip....

The whole world knows that Dak lost his mom.
He is not the only one who has lost a loved one but he feels the need to let his pain be known.
To each their own on losing loved ones as its a very sad and heartbreaking event.

I wouldn't have known about it unless Skip spoke about it, don't remember it being mentioned here on the board. Outside of Dak pointing up at his mom, not sure of your angle. His mom is part of his pr?

it is horrible, today we are woke, where everyone gets to be sad and sot around and cry. well, go ahead and be sad as the world just kicks your *** all over the place day after day. Someone once said you better be training, EVERYDAY, because when you get on that ring, your opponent is life, and life will knock your *** out if you arent prepared. Mean? Cruel? not sensitive? yea, thats called reality.

So you're sayin you lift weights? Cool story

actually showing the sensitivity he did makes him a better teammate. if he bottled it up and didn't show he cares about his FAMILY, would his teammates think he cared about them? it makes him human. it makes him a person and it makes him real, that he cares......skip is stupid. he is obviouly lacking leadership or understanding what leadership is, so his comments about leadership are stupid

yup

We am impressed by the surge of sympathetic, sensitive men who confuse the blues with devastation.
Go back to your drum circles. Let skip call it for what it might be: attention.

Skip is such an *** for that!!!! I hope and pray he never deals with that or knows someone personally who's been through it. Depression is HORRIBLE!! To kick someone down for it is HEARTLESS! SKIP is part of the problem when it comes to depression. SKIP is part of the reason people have a hard time coming out to say how they feel and all. DAK is strong for opening about his depression. He's been through HELL losing his mother and his brother.

I think anyone going through pain, especially the pain Dak is feeling, should feel free to be able to open up about it. I've dealt with losing friends to suicide. It is HORRIBLE! I hope and pray to God you never have to feel that pain of learning the news that one of your friends killed himself/herself. It was such a helpless feeling between wondering if there was something I could have done to have stopped it and wondering why and how it happened. Wishing my friends that have gone that way would have opened up and told me how they were really feeling. To hold it in doesn't fix the problem. It makes it worse.

Hoofbite · Sep 11, 2020

What an odd position to take. Probably the least rational explanation he could have provided. "This is football" is one hell of a stupid excuse to say something like this.

this is why some folks don't open up about what they're goin' through...and try to fight off the approaching wolves by themselves.

The idea that mental health can somehow be a sign of weakness is long overdue for retirement.

RoboQB · Sep 11, 2020

The clip was cut at 1:04.

Just when he was starting to make his point.
Nobody dislikes Bayless more than I do, but this is a
typical hit job. At least, include the part where he gives
his reasoning behind it.

I guess I'll have to go to YouTube for the whole story.
