Shocker of the year...Skip Bayless is a morally corrupt, phony, dirtbag...

The modern media is filled with these types. This is not news. Skip is, was and forever will be a low life. It’s our fault that’s these types have platforms. We are willing consumers of their garbage.

Just watch the clip of Marc Cuban owning Skip Bayless when discussing basketball/the Mavs. Cuban completely exposes his lack of knowledge. It is actually quite shocking that a supposed sports journalist/analyst doesn't understand basic concepts of a sport he writes/talks about. It's why I formulate my own opinion and do not rely upon journalists/analysts/sources like him.

true,but dont drink the Mark Cuban is a good guy Kool aid just yet. He is one ruthless dude. He has a ton of demons himself. One shouldn't characterize him as having high morals and integrity. But yes, that was certainly entertaining.

yup and a snake tends to bite. Water is wet. lol...yet people still know what Skip is, and expect him to be something other than what he has always been. I'm more astonished that people are surprised and outraged.

The reality is, Skip is only on TV because, sadly, there are a lot of people attracted to his kind of nonsense. We see it on this board too. There are sports fans who are attracted to drama and soap opera, and it doesn't even matter if there is any real substance to the story. As long as there are people who are so drawn to the kind of exaggerated, and often fabricated nonsense people like Skippy spew, we will be stuck with it, and every day we are stuck with it is another step in the erosion of the quality TV, radio, internet and print media.

His point is spot on in some ways.
But the reality is TV is all about 1 thing. MONEY.
Whether we are talking about Skip Bayless or whichever politically driven news station you watch (Fox News, CNN, MSNBC ect) the name of the game is ratings at all cost.
The media isnt about journalism anymore. News channels are not about reporting news. They are all about getting people's emotions stirred up so they tune in and the advertisers keep spending the money.
Stephen A Smith doesnt hate the cowboys. Shannon Sharp doesnt either. They all love the cowboys because the cowboys drive ratings which drives money into their pockets. Its an act. News channels, sports channels are both just actors using emotional hot buttons to drive ratings.

Unfortunately these days turning on the tv and seeing news or sports news doesnt really exist. They need to fill hours of programming and emotions drive ratings so this is what we get.

I don't agree with Skip on this one. I don't even think he believes what he says most of the time. He needs to take a position and he miscalculated on this one...... or maybe he didnt. In the world of shock ratings is any publicity bad publicity anymore?

haha that's fair.

My reference to him was simply that he completely exposed Skip Bayless as a journalist/analyst without much understanding of a sport he debates/writes about. Just thinking back to it, it's almost unbelievable how he was unable to explain any basic defensive coverages and just kept spewing nonsense like x wanted it more and Lebron/KD didn't want it enough. Genuine head in hands moment. But then I read some posts on here with similar content so people do buy into that type of **** sadly.

There's nothing "macho" about being an uneducated fool then running your mouth about it.

Meh. Colin Cowherd says some things that are no better, as does Stephen A. Smith. So maybe Skip is really wrong for this (he is,) but to act like stands out over them is probably lying to yourself.

Skip "Sayless" is more like it.

I just couldn't listen to fish after a couple of minutes. He said it wasn't scripted. It should have been. Didn't seem like a man who could put his thoughts together. How hard is it to say skip sucks?

How hard was that.

He had a chance to apologize today and bungled it. Shocking, I know.

There are some people that should have a script and follow that script and Mike Fisher is one of those people. It was really unnecessary to say up front that he had no script and had done very little planning. He has spent too much time around Booger.

Not as good as Garrett sucks, but not bad. Lol

Bayless is and always has been one of the insects in the cow flop that lodges on a boot when you walk through a well-used pasture. He is a nasty piece of work.

It still is good for people to stand up and call out the individual wrongs he and others of his ilk perpetrate. Sadly, much of the commentary is becoming normalized. Fighting wrong is always valuable.

I hope people simply tune out the vermin. That's when they will be removed from the airwaves. Bayless ought to be at or near the front of the line.

huh? No one is saying that. Its good to look at all sides of the argument. Not just 1 vantage point, with blinders on. Objectivity is a good thing. I think what Skip did was not journalism. Its was tabloid scumbag material. He used his own devilish agenda on Dak and all those who may have mental issues. We agree, it was sick. But a point can be made that does ones mental make up off the field as a human, affect his or her performance at their job? A conversation is there to be had. Glad Dak spoke up. It sheds light on the topic. What Skip did was go low, when he should have taken the high road and just not brought it up at all. It was seedy as Hell. As a fan though, I just want wins and feelings aside, thats why they practice and play. Getting that ring. Thats why we are fans.Off the field, I wish Dak the very best in life. He's been thru alot. This is a brutal business. Feelings dont win SB'S. What wins is brute force and a plan. I think Dak will show out like he always does and we have a great chance to win it all. Back to Skip...he is who we always knew he was, A SNAKE and evil flip flop artist. A snake oil salesman. To expect an ounce of integrity from his ilk is being naïve. The Aikman BS story should have told all of us what Skip was. The enquirer or TMZ wouldn't even hire him I bet. Fox should terminate him.. He crossed the line.

I don't think you meant to imply that they practice and play to curb emotions. In fact emotions and feelings, fuel performance motivation and energy. I get it you don't want your starting quarterback to be distracted and focus his emotions that suppress or suppressed him to carry over into game play.

I haven't read anywhere that his depression this off-season affected his will to stay in shape, have a football practice field built in his backyard and have him and teammates work out and do drills on that field in preparation for training camp.

Instead Dak PROACTIVELY did something about his depressive state of mind during the off-season so that he could manage and overcome it in order to be fully mentally and physically prepared for the up coming season as the Cowboys starting quarterback. Dak didn't bottle it up, or hide his depression, he opened up about it. That took internal mental pressure off him. That was not only a practical but very intelligent decision that he made.

Dak also went to see a Chad Bohling a sports psychologist, who is an adviser to the Cowboys. Now think about that. It implies the Cowboys as other teams have players not only Dak, that not only may be depressed for similar or different reasons but also other issues ranging from motivation, problem solving, performance and social anxiety, staying focused and positive, dealing with competitive adversity, getting along with teammates or coaching staff, and even to gain visualization skills to improve their performance on the field.

Skippy Peanut Utter.

1 hour long? I’ll pass.

Bayless's statements were intentionally done so they could add more viewers. Guess what? It worked
