Skip Bayless Reveals His Pick For Best Quarterback In The NFL

by

Skip Bayless is a man who is known for his controversial opinions. In fact, the more he says crazy things, the more people pay attention to him. Overall, he is a performance artist of sorts. He knows his role and he is constantly playing it, even when he is off the air.

Sure, this persona has gotten him into a lot of trouble. However, he always seems to come out of his controversies unscathed. For some, this is completely unfair. Unfortunately, that’s just how the media game works these days. As the saying goes, people love to watch a trainwreck.

Skip Bayless Speaks

When it comes to NFL quarterbacks, Bayless has always held the opinion that Tom Brady is the best in the league. Now, however, Brady is on his way out and younger players are beginning to take over. One such star is Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Ever since bursting onto the scene, Bayless has been in love with Burrow. After all, the kid carried the Bengals to a Super Bowl appearance in just his second year with the team. Bayless believes he is the new Brady, and on today’s show, he declared Burrow as “the best quarterback in the National Football League.”

There are plenty of people out there who would agree with this take. After all, Burrow has been phenomenal and he has taken advantage of the fact that he has some incredible weapons at his disposal. However, he will find it difficult this weekend as he takes on Josh Allen, who is also considered to be one of the best in the league.

Let us know whether or not you agree with Skip’s take, in the comments down below. Additionally, keep it locked to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Skip Bayless Reacts With Glee After Cowboys Blowout

by

Skip Bayless is perhaps the biggest Cowboys fan on TV, aside from Michael Irvin. Every time Bayless is on Undisputed, you can hear him deliver some unique takes about his Cowboys. Overall, he comes across as a homer, and it never fails to make Shannon Sharpe laugh.

On Monday night, Bayless was sweating from the comfort of his home as the Cowboys took on the Buccaneers. Bayless understood that this was a huge game for the franchise, and somehow, they delivered. The Cowboys knocked off Tom Brady by a score of 31-14. Subsequently, Bayless was quite the happy camper.

Skip Bayless Reacts

Immediately after his big win, Bayless took to Twitter where he gloated about the situation. Of course, this could have been a disaster for Skip. Had the Cowboys lost, Bayless would have received Sharpe’s full wrath. However, Bayless will now get to gloat on this morning’s show.

“FINALLY: The Dallas Cowboys win their first road playoff game in 30 years. I was there that day – Jan. 17, 1993 – at Candlestick,” Bayless wrote. “Thank you, Dak Prescott, for playing the game of your life at GOAT.” Needless to say, Bayless was more than happy about what took place last night.

Additionally, Skip made sure to react to the pitiful performance from Cowboys kicker Brett Maher. Maher missed his first four point after attempts, which was simply ridiculous. Eventually, he made the last one, and thankfully, it had no real impact on the outcome of the game. Now, however, the Cowboys might need to find a new kicker.

As for Bayless, this was a great night for him that he will never forget. We just pray for Shannon Sharpe this morning as he will be facing a different kind of beast.

Let us know what you thought of last night’s game, in the comments down below.

Skip Bayless Explains Why Lamar Jackson Quit On Ravens

by

Skip Bayless has had a busy few weeks. Between insulting Shannon Sharpe and disrespecting Damar Hamlin, Bayless is not very popular right now. However, he is still very much employed by Fox Sports, and that is definitely not going to change anytime soon.

Whether you love him or hate him, it is clear that Skip is very entertaining. Overall, one could even liken what he does to performance art. He is always putting on a persona, and it is ultimately what has kept him so popular, for better or for worse.

Skip Bayless on Lamar Jackson

Today, Skip and Shannon spoke about the Lamar Jackson situation. Jackson is injured and will not play for the Ravens this weekend during their Wild Card game against the Bengals. Consequently, Bayless believes Lamar is actually giving up on the Ravens. However, he is only doing so as the Ravens gave up on him first.

“If Lamar wanted to play for his team this weekend, he would. If he had been paid, he’d be out there. He quit on them because they quit on him,” Skip said. “Lamar Jackson wouldn’t think twice about playing vs the Bengals on Sunday if he had been paid. It’s all about the contract.”

Sharpe echoed these sentiments as he said “two things that help injuries the most: ice and money.” Needless to say, both Undisputed hosts are firm on the idea that had Jackson been paid properly, he would be on the field right now.

Jackson himself has stated that his injury is pretty bad and that he wishes he could play. Overall, it has not been a great couple of seasons for Jackson who has consistently gotten injured toward the end.

Let us know what you think of Bayless’ take, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.

Skip Bayless Calls Jerry Jones “Delusional”

by

Skip Bayless sure does love his Dallas Cowboys. Every single season, he tries to make up reasons for why they are actually going to be successful. Unfortunately, they have proven time and time again that they just don’t have the clutch gene that Bayless harps on so much.

Overall, it has been a rough two decades for Cowboys fans. They haven’t matched their success from the 90s, and it could be a while before they ever get back to a Super Bowl. Of course, they could do it this season, although it would take a Herculean effort.

Skip Bayless Vs. Jerry Jones

Recently, Jerry Jones claimed that Dak has superior DNA that makes it so he can’t turn the ball over. Of course, Bayless knows this is quite the opposite, and he said so on Undisputed. More jarringly, Bayless straight up claimed that Jerry Jones was delusional. These are some harsh words, however, we’re sure some Cowboys fans out there feel the same way.

“Jerry has delusionally convinced himself because he paid the man so much money that Dak is THAT guy,” Skip said. “I’m still waiting to see THAT guy emerge. But the harder I look, the worse it gets.”

The Cowboys are going to play the Buccaneers on Monday night. It is going to be a tough test, even though the Cowboys finished with four more wins. Brady is the GOAT and he knows how to win in the postseason. Meanwhile, the Cowboys under Dak Prescott have yet to prove such a thing.

Hopefully, for Skip and that fanbase, they can finally get it done. Let us know who you think will win, in the comments section down below.

Skip Bayless Continues To Try And Correct His Damar Hamlin Mistake

by

Skip Bayless has oftentimes found himself to be the center of attention. Most of the time, this is for all of the wrong reasons. Overall, Bayless seems to love having the spotlight. However, that was certainly not the case as Bayless trended online for his comments about Damar Hamlin.

Following Hamlin’s frightening and devastating injury, Bayless tweeted: “No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how?. This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”

Of course, many found this to be heinous considering what we had just witnessed on the field. Immediately after his statement, Bayless was hit with harsh criticism by many in the sports world. After years of being a troll, people finally took out their frustrations in a timely yet effective manner.

Skip Bayless Corrects Course

Since that time, Bayless has been trying to clarify what he meant. For instance, with the Bills playing the Patriots this weekend, Bayless made sure to note how insignificant this game is. Overall, he also had smoke for the Bengals, who he felt were being disrespectful about losing a game. Needless to say, Skip doesn’t want to be the bad guy.

“Happy for the Bills. Rooting for them. But hard to get too excited about the outcome of a football game,” Skip wrote. “As I said again and again on Monday night, all that matters is Damar Hamlin. Prayed for him immediately on Monday night then for his complete recovery this Sunday morning.”

Just last week, Bayless and his co-host Shannon Sharpe got into it on the air about the tweet. Sharpe said he wanted Bayless to take the tweet down, however, Bayless did not want to hear it. This subsequently led to another awkward exchange between the two.

With people running out of patience for Skip Bayless, it remains to be seen how all of this will end. At the end of the day, this is big ratings for FS1, who have been the biggest beneficiaries of the bad press.

Matt Barnes Says He’s Stopped Two People From Beating Up Skip Bayless Prior To Damar Hamlin Tweet: “They Wanted To F*** Skip Up”

Skip Bayless is facing heavy amounts of backlash for his tweet concerning the postponing Bills and Bengals game when Damar Hamlin had suffered cardiac arrest just moments before. He has even ruffled the feathers of his Undisputed cohost, Shannon Sharpe, who did not show up to work on Monday and caught an attitude with Skip for interrupting him while he was doing his monologue. In a video posted to his Instagram, former small forward Matt Barnes slammed Bayless for his insensitive comments and said that he has had to stop people from assaulting Bayless on two separate occasions prior to the Damar Hamlin tweet.

“First of all, Skip is a professional in this realm, [and] was highly respected,” Barnes said. “When people say, ‘read the whole tweet,’ he said the game was ‘irrelevant.’ He knew he had to put that at the end of the bullshit he was saying hoping we didn’t see through the bullshit, because how he truly felt was his original first sentence.”

Barnes added that Skip seemed to be more concerned over the game than Damar Hamlin’s health and that Skip’s “day” might be coming, amid tension that has been brewing between him and Shannon Sharpe.

“I just feel as of late he’s been very very very disrespectful and out of pocket, and that’s normal, but he’s been that way to Shannon [Sharpe]. I think Skip’s day is coming, and it may not be from a firing standpoint because you know white men in this profession can kinda get away with and do what they want.”

Barnes then added that he has had to stop a player, and a coach, on two different occasions from assaulting the sports commentator, and said that one day someone is going to end up getting physical with him.

“I know personally that I’ve had to diffuse two situations,” Barnes said. “One with a coach, and one with an NBA player. They wanted to fuck Skip up. … One was this year, one was last year. … Luckily cooler heads prevailed, but it’s just gone too far in my opinion. Shannon’s had a lot of love or does have a lot of love for dude, but you can even see Shannon’s fed up. And someone’s gonna end up hurting Skip.”

Skip Bayless Catches Heat For Saying He Has 'No Sympathy' for Dak Prescott's Fight With Depression

Undisputed co-host Skip Bayless apologized to viewers on Tuesday’s (Jan. 3) episode, with an absent co-host Shannon Sharpe, for his tweet following the horrific injury of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin during the Monday Night Football game on January 2nd between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. The 71-year-old famed journalist/correspondent was met with huge backlash on Monday night after tweeting to his 3.2 million followers on Twitter: “No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how? This last in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”

Bayless began Tuesday’s episode with an apologetic opening monologue, in which he said, “I apologize for what we’re going to do today. I’m not sure I’m capable of doing this show today but, after barely sleeping on it, I decided to give it a try. Maybe I’ll fail, maybe we will fail, but we’re going to try. We wrestled through most of the night whether to even do a show today because we felt like, in our minds, we almost can’t win with this because the last thing we want to do is come off as insensitive to what this young man is going through in a life or death situation.”

An outraged social media called for Skip Bayless’s firing by Fox Sports 1 on Monday evening, with several retired NFL football stars like 6-time Pro Bowl wide-receiver Terrell Owens calling him “dead wrong” and hoping he loses his job. The network made no comment on Skip Bayless or the Damar Hamlin situation at press time.

In the midst of the backlash on Monday, Bayless followed up his original tweet with a concerning tweet about Hamlin’s health and the ultimate importance of health for the players over the game.

“Nothing is more important than that young man’s health,” he wrote. “That was the point of my last tweet. I’m sorry if that was misunderstood but his health is all that matters. Again, everything else is irrelevant. I prayed for him & will continue to.”

Although absent from Undisputed on Tuesday, Shannon Sharpe shared his prayers with fans, Hamlin and his family on Monday evening. “Please keep Demar Hamlin and his family in your thoughts and prayers,” wrote The three-time Super Bowl champion. “NFL doesn’t have a manual on how to proceed after an incident like this.”

Amid Damar Hamlin’s injury, the NFL has announced that the game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals will not resume this week.

Matt Barnes Says He’s Stopped People From Assaulting Skip Bayless

by

Matt Barnes says that he’s kept people from assaulting Skip Bayless in the past. The comments come in response to Bayless’ recent comments on the injury of Damar Hamlin.

Barnes began by praising Bayless as a professional but criticized his handling of the Hamlin situation. Bayless had posted an insensitive tweet on Monday night about the resuming of play following the scary incident.

Barnes began by suggesting that he thinks “Skip’s day is coming.”

“I know personally that I’ve had to defuse two situations– one with a coach and one with an NBA player,” Barnes revealed. “They wanted to fuck Skip up. Personally, I’ve had to do it. One was this year and one was last year.”

He continued: “Luckily cooler heads prevailed, but I just see it’s just gone too far in my opinion. And again Shannon has had a lot of love or does have a lot of love for dude but you can see Shannon’s fed up. And someone’s gonna end up hurting Skip, because his ego, his arrogance, his disrespect, has kind of always been on this level, but now I think it’s going to a new level.”

As for what specifically Bayless tweeted, he wrote: “No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”

After Shannon Sharpe returned to Undisputed on Wednesday, the two got into a heated argument about the post.

Hamlin currently remains under intensive care at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. The Bills say that he has shown “signs of improvement” since Monday night.

by

After receiving a wave of backlash over his tweet about Damar Hamlin, Skip Bayless refuses to remove the message.

As real-time updates have been offered regarding his health status, Bayless emerged with a tweet that rubbed many the wrong way.

“No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how?” Bayless questioned. “This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”

The game would be stopped, but not quickly enough for some. Bayless was accused of focusing on the game rather than Hamlin. He took to Undisputed solo to address the controversy, and many believed Shannon Sharpe’s absence was because of their tension.

This morning (January 4), the two men joined together on their platform, and viewers could immediately sense something was off. During the exchange, Bayless made it clear that he wouldn’t be deleting his controversial tweet.

“Skip tweeted something, and although I disagreed with the tweet, hopefully, Skip will take it down,’ Sharpe said. Bayless interrupted to add, “Timeout… I stand by what I tweeted.”

Additionally, Sharpe spoke directly about Hamlin’s injury. The NFL star’s family has been updating the public about his status. It’s reported Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest and wasn’t breathing on his own after being hit during Monday night’s game.

“There’s been a lot of speculation on why I wasn’t on air yesterday, and I won’t get into speculation, conjecture, innuendo, but I will say this,” said Sharpe. “Watching that game on Monday night, what happened to Damar Hamlin struck me a little different.”

“As the brotherhood of the NFL, when injuries happen—and we know injuries are part of the game,” he continued. “I’ve seen guys suffer for ACLs and Achilles tear, but I’ve never had to see anybody have to be revived and fight for their life on the field.”

We will keep you updated as more about Damar Hamlin is shared. Check out Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless’s exchange above.
