Does anyone else hate this guy?  I cannot stand him on 1st & 10 and for some reason I get the feeling alot of other people hate him too.  He has something against LeBron James saying that he cannot make big shots, ofcoarse, he was not on the show the day after LeBrons stunning preformance in game 5 against the Pistons.  He also refuses to call him King James instead calling him "Prince James"

He is always taking shots at people who should just kick the crap out of him, Allen Iverson even said this year in an interview after being traded to the Nuggets "Why does he hate me?".

Get this loser off TV... It seems to me like he acts like a Shock Jock expect for TV

when he used to be a writer he was actually pretty good.  But i'm convinced that he has gotten this reputation for saying such outlandish things, that espn probably just asks him to say crazy things to stir up interest.  And the fact that there is a thread on this guy, and no other sports writer turned tv spokesperson (exception kornheiser and wilbon), i'd say it's working.

He doesn't know very much at all. It's almost sad because I think he thinks he knows a lot.

I'm pretty sure his whole schtick is designed to incite arguments with co-hosts and to play the role of the stubborn know it all, only he does it with a real smarmy and nasty attitude instead of tongue-in-cheek like Woody Paige. A show featuring a talking head that we all can get mad at must get more attention/ratings for ESPN than a bunch of level headed journalists talking sports without confrontation (ie. The Sports Reporters).

If I see the guy on I just turn the channel, PTI is the only example of a sports debate show done right IMO.

As others have said I believe that's just his job.  He plays the devils advocate of sorts.

Wow, way to pull the race card right away----I was wondering how long that would take. I like Skip, he makes the show more interesting and thought provoking.

Yeah he's a jerk. But I think he's kinda right about James and free throws.

I don't mind that Skip calls LeBron "Prince James" because he has the right to his opinion. What I do have a problem with is that he is the most critical person I have ever seen in my life!!! He cuts James NO slack and even when James goes above and beyond, he still has a reason for it not mattering... He complains that everyone uses the, "he's only 22" card but he does the same thing when LeBron does exactly what Skip wants him to... Whatever. I will say that Skip has really been going off the deep end lately (I watch 1st and 10 every day) on lots of stuff so... maybe he hasn't refilled his Rx...

I love Skip. He says things that other are afraid to say. I'm not saying he's always right, but when he called Roger Clemens a horrible teammate, I totally agreed.

I have to say that I agree that he does say things that others are afraid to say but I find that lately he is completely off his rocker! The Clemens thing was spot on though!

I like Skip. I remember reading his columns when he was a reporter for the Dallas Morning News. He sounds like he's whining sometimes and his head moves like a bobblehead doll, but at least he's sensible most of the time. Helped balance out Woody and his off-the-wall, shock value statements. Haven't watched the show in awhile though.

Skip Bayless is good for televison, wether or not the statements he makes are right or wrong. It doesn't matter.
