Gilbert Arenas Reacts To Shannon Sharpe-Skip Bayless Feud

by

Gilbert Arenas is one of the most entertaining voices in NBA media. The former player was phenomenal on the court, and he certainly doesn’t pull any punches on his podcast. Additionally, when he gives his opinion, he always tries to present the most facts possible.

Overall, Arenas is someone that fans want to hear from. His days as a Washington Wizard have granted him the credentials to speak on anything, including the media landscape. In a recent appearance on VladTV, that is exactly what he did.

Gilbert Arenas Reacts

In the clip below, Arenas was asked about the infamous argument between Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe. During this debate, Skip told Shannon that he isn’t as good as Tom Brady. Subsequently, this led to a screaming match that now has people believing that Skip and Shannon hate one another.

Arenas took a measured approach while speaking on the matter. In his view, this is the overall problem he has with sports media. Effectively, everyone’s credentials are constantly being questioned, even if they make a good point. Someone could be dead-on with their analysis, however, if they are missing a championship, they will get roasted for it.

Arenas wants this to change as he feels like it is the biggest problem plaguing modern debate. There is too much emphasis on your credentials, and not enough on the meat of what you’re saying.

Overall, it is very hard to disagree with this statement. After all, we see this all of the time, especially in the NBA. It’s not productive, and it had led to a decline in intellectual discussion.

Skip Bayless “Disgusted” By Cowboys Loss

by

Skip Bayless is one of the biggest Cowboys fans when it comes to analysts on TV. For years, he has tried to convince himself that any given year is the one in which they will go back to the Super Bowl. Overall, Skip has yet to be proven right, even when the team is having a good season.

Last night, the Cowboys broke the hearts of all of their fans, including Bayless. This is because the team blew a 17-point lead against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They ultimately lost the game in overtime, and it was truly embarrassing. There couldn’t have been a worse way for the team to lose that game.

Skip Bayless Reacts

Subsequently, Bayless had to talk about the game during this morning’s episode of Undisputed. Following a viral week, Bayless had to face Shannon Sharpe, who was ready with the Cowboys slander. Instead of arguing with Sharpe, Skip decided to agree with his co-host. Simply put, Bayless has had enough of this team’s underachieving ways.

“I was disgusted by much of what I saw. My Cowboys have been looking ahead to the Eagles since the game in Philly,” Bayless wrote. As Skip described, the Cowboys take on the league-leading Eagles on Saturday in Dallas. This is a huge game for the Cowboys, and it seems like that’s all they care about right now.

If you are a fan of the Cowboys, this is not good news heading into the postseason. They will have to start their campaign on the road, and it is likely they might play a team like the 49ers. If that’s the case, then “America’s Team” might be headed towards another early exit.

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

Skip Bayless Recalls Awkward Blake Griffin Encounter

by

Skip Bayless is one of the most hated men in sports media. Right now, he is public enemy number one in the football world thanks to his blatant Shannon Sharpe disrespect. Having said that, Bayless still has a large voice in the sports world, and he isn’t scared to use it.

Overall, Bayless is just a troll. At times, it is hard to tell whether or not he actually believes in what he’s saying. However, he gets people to tune into his show, and that is really all that matters. When you can get ratings for your network, you’re going to have longevity on TV.

Sports journalist and television personality, Skip Bayless is featured on First Take, ESPN2’s daily sports talk show. On Friday morning, August 30, 2013, Bayless participated in debate with Stephen A. Smith as he does everyday, during their two hour morning program from 10am – noon.

Skip Bayless Story Time

On the most recent episode of his new podcast, Bayless told a story about how his reputation caught up to him. Below, you can hear him talk about meeting Blake Griffin for the first time. Skip has always been critical of the Celtics star, and subsequently, the big man was cold to him at first. However, Skip noted that Griffin has since warmed up to him as they see each other often at a local golf club.

“Blake was just pretty much awkwardly nonresponsive,” Bayless explained. “In fact, I wondered if it was possible if he just didn’t know who I am. Awkwardly, I told Blake Griffin I’ll see you down the road somewhere and I’ll let you get back to practicing. About a week later, Blake rolled past me in a golf cart and he stunned me by saying ‘hey, Skip.’

The story is definitely an interesting one, although it is clear that Griffin isn’t too salty about Bayless’ slander. However, we would love to know how LeBron would react to Skip. That would be a truly hilarious meeting.

Shannon Sharpe Seemingly Has A Message For Skip Bayless

by

Shannon Sharpe is one of those former NFL players that commands respect. While many know him for his work on TV, there is a whole generation that grew up with him as a superstar for the Denver Broncos. Overall, he revolutionized the tight end position for the better.

Furthermore, Shannon is a Hall-of-Famer. He certainly deserves to be there given the fact that he set numerous records as a tight end. Some of these records are still holding strong today. Needless to say, any disrespect for the man is misplaced.

Unfortunately, Sharpe’s co-host Skip Bayless needs an obvious history lesson. On Monday’s episode of Undisputed, Bayless told Sharpe that he is jealous of Tom Brady. Moreover, he told Sharpe that Brady was “way better” than him, simply because Sharpe was criticizing Brady.

Shannon Sharpe Responds?

For the most part, Sharpe has avoided directly speaking on the situation. He has liked tweets that compliment him, however, he won’t actually say anything about Skip. Today, however, he did seem to make it clear that he wants Bayless to understand just how good he was.

In the tweet below, you can see Shannon replying to someone who posted some of Sharpe’s best highlights. The fan said, “It’s cool Unc, since Skip forgot, let’s remind our viewing audience.” Sharpe kept his reply brief, saying “Y’all know. EVERYONE SHOULD.”

Sure, it wasn’t a direct callout to Skip, but it is easily the closest thing we have seen to one since this incident went down. Overall, Sharpe’s frustration is palpable, although it is definitely justified.

Moving forward, Skip needs to look at these clips and then look at himself in the mirror. He clearly made a massive mistake, and he will have to be better in order to avoid future conflict.

Shannon Sharpe Urged By KD To “Toughen Up” After Skip Bayless Spat

by

Shannon Sharpe is one of the greatest tight ends in the history of the NFL. Of course, he won three Super Bowl titles. This includes two with the Denver Broncos and one with the Baltimore Ravens. Additionally, he is in the Hall of Fame and even holds the record for the best statistical game by a tight end.

Overall, he is a player who should be respected by everyone. He helped change the game for tight ends, as the position would never be the same following his career. He is a pioneer in the game of football, and to question his credentials is simply ludicrous.

Shannon Vs. Skip Bayless

Unfortunately, that is exactly what his co-host Skip Bayless did on Monday. In the clip down below, you can hear Skip telling Shannon that Tom Brady is better than him. Moreover, he even suggests that Shannon is jealous of Brady, which is a truly ridiculous notion.

Of course, Shannon Sharpe was livid with Skip’s commentary, and it led to some tense moments on set. Unfortunately, Bayless continued to poke the bear, and wouldn’t let up. Now, there is this sense that the two will never have the same chemistry on air.

KD Has Advice For Shannon Sharpe

The clip was posted by DJ Akademiks on Instagram this morning, which led to a quick response from none other than Kevin Durant. As you can see below, KD told Shannon to “toughen up.” It was a pretty bold piece of advice, and we’re sure Sharpe isn’t going to appreciate it.

After all, if there is anyone who has yet to “toughen up,” it would be KD. The Brooklyn Nets star is constantly getting into social media battles with nobodies. However, it seems like Durant is still dead set on getting his shots in.

Let us know what you think of KD’s advice to Sharpe, in the comments section down below.

Shaq & Charles Barkley Recreate Skip Bayless-Shannon Sharpe Fight

by

Shaq and Charles Barkley are always comedy when it comes to Inside The NBA. While they have had their fair share of fights, they always seem to make up in the end. Overall, they understand that their roasts aren’t anything serious and that the television product is all that matters.

As it turns out, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe could use a lesson in this. We say this as Skip and Shannon got into an on-air dispute this week. This was all because Skip went too far and essentially called Sharpe a bum compared to Tom Brady. Consequently, Sharpe got upset, and understandably so.

Shaq & Chuck Poke Fun

During last night’s Inside The NBA broadcast, Shaq and Barkley got into a dispute of their own. However, this particular dispute was a complete gag that had Ernie and Kenny Smith a bit confused. Of course, if you’ve been paying attention, it was a complete parody of Skip and Shannon’s spat from a couple of days earlier.

In the clip below, Barkley begins to yell at Shaq and even takes off his glasses, just like Shannon did. The former Laker takes on the role of Skip Bayless as he tells Chuck to put his glasses back on and even insults him. Subsequently, this prompts Barkley to clap back in a similar fashion to Sharpe.

Overall, it was a pretty hilarious segment that even made its way back to Bayless. Skip took to Twitter last night and wrote “Charles Barkley: Thank you for so faithfully watching Undisputed.” If you’ve been keeping tabs on the lore, Bayless and Barkley have had a longstanding feud, with Barkley saying that he would love to kill the Undisputed host.

Despite all of this, Bayless still hasn’t apologized publically to his co-host. It is a pretty pathetic display, even for Skip. Hopefully, he finds the error of his ways soon and gives Shannon the respect that he deserves.

Jalen Rose Rips Skip Bayless For Shannon Sharpe Diss

by

Jalen Rose has never been a big fan of Skip Bayless. Of course, the two got into a very infamous exchange on ESPN back in the day. Rose brought up the fact that Skip only averaged 1.4 points per game in high school. Additionally, Rose referred to Bayless as ‘Water Pistol Pete.”

Overall, this was a hilarious exchange that ultimately ended with some on-air discourse. It is something that Rose has never forgotten, and Skip has certainly never earned his respect. Since that time, Skip has moved on to FS1, while Rose continues to work for ESPN.

Jalen Rose Comments On Skip-Shannon Beef

Recently, Skip Bayless went way too far while debating Shannon Sharpe. They were in the midst of a conversation about Tom Brady, when Skip referred to the NFL star as jealous. Sharpe did not like this and mentioned that he is in the Hall of Fame. This led to a cheap shot from Bayless who told Sharpe that Brady is better than him.

This did not go over well with Sharpe, who became livid with Bayless. He took off his glasses and began to yell at his co-host, who continued to antagonize him. Overall, it was a bad look for Bayless, and now, he is getting criticism from the likes of Rose.

As you can see below, Rose took to Twitter and wrote “Wow what a bully tactic and clowns call him drip. Definition of a #culturevulture.” It was a pretty biting critique of Bayless, although it is one you would certainly expect given their past.

This situation has been a horrible look for Bayless, however, it doesn’t seem like he cares. He has yet to make any sort of apology, and on today’s show, the viral clip wasn’t even acknowledged.

Hopefully, Bayless sees the error of his ways soon.

Shannon Sharpe Yells At Skip Bayless After Being Disrespected

by

Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless have been working together on Undisputed for six years now. When Bayless left ESPN for Fox Sports 1, he brought Sharpe along for the ride. He knew that Sharpe was the right man for the job, and subsequently, Fox made the right call by bringing Shannon on board.

While these two have a great deal of respect for one another, it is clear that Bayless can go too far sometimes. Overall, Bayless is a huge troll, and there are times when he doesn’t realize how far he’s going. Today was a perfect example of that as he sent Sharpe spiraling.

Shannon Sharpe Lays Into Skip

During one of the first segments of the day, the two discussed none other than Tom Brady. Of course, Brady and the Buccaneers lost 35-7 against the San Francisco 49ers. However, Bayless was there to defend Brady all the way. Meanwhile, Sharpe had some harsh criticism for the Bucs star.

Bayless did not appreciate this criticism and ultimately took it personally. This led to Bayless calling Sharpe jealous. Shannon could not believe this and asked Bayless how he could say something like that. Sharpe mentioned that he is in the Hall of Fame, and doesn’t need to feel jealous. Subsequently, Bayless straight-up told Sharpe that Brady is better than him.

This eventually led to Sharpe yelling at Bayless. Shannon was livid that Bayless would disrespect him just so that he could praise Tom Brady. Overall, Sharpe had every right to be upset. However, Bayless did not seem to care one bit, as he continued to antagonize the three-time Super Bowl champion.

The segment is already going a bit viral on Twitter as many were shocked by just how reckless Bayless was with his disrespect. Not to mention, it isn’t every day that Sharpe gets this mad at his co-host.

Skip Bayless Claims Patrick Mahomes Is Worst Thrower He’s Ever Seen

by

Skip Bayless is almost cartoonish in the way he hates certain athletes. There is an argument to be made that Bayless sometimes purposely lies about certain guys just so that he can win a debate. The best examples of this are LeBron James and Aaron Rodgers, who Bayless seems to hate with a burning passion.

Another athlete that can be added to this list is Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is one of the best QBs in the entire NFL and he has shown the world just how good he is. Despite that, Mahomes catches quite a bit of flack from Bayless, especially on Thursday as Bayless had a scathing critique of the Chiefs superstar.

While comparing Brady to Mahomes, Bayless tried to say that Mahomes is one of the worst throwers in the history of the NFL. If you know anything about football, you quickly realize how preposterous this statement is.

“Brady was graded No. 1 in the league last year, I guess he just fell off…Mahomes is one of the worst throwers I’ve ever witnessed,” Skip said. “The Chiefs just lost to the Colts, who looked pathetic. It’s Saturday Night Live-ish to me. Patrick Mahomes has the worse footwork aside from Aaron Rodgers.

Mahomes and Brady will play each other on Sunday night, and it is sure to be a good game. Brady has largely struggled this season, while Mahomes has been pretty good, albeit there have been signs of weakness.

Russell Westbrook Claps Back At Skip Bayless For Calling Him “Westbrick”

Russell Westbrook Said "He Was Disappointed" That He Was Benched In Latest Lakers Loss

Russell Westbrook has had it with the names.

Skip Bayless had taken to Twitter to take a dig at the Lakers for drafting former Michigan State guard, Max Christie, who is not the best 3-point shooter.

“Lakers acquire a 2nd-round pick, take Michigan State’s Max Christie, who shot only 32% from 3 last season,” Bayless tweeted. “Perfect! He’ll fit right in with LeBron and Westbrick.”

Westbrook, who has apparently had enough of the Skip Bayless slander, responded to the sports analyst on Twitter, telling him not to say anything he wouldnt say in person.

“Yoooo… watch your mouth. Don’t say anything here you wouldn’t say to my face.”

Bayless has not responded to Westbrook yet. He might bring it up on the next episode of Undisputed. However, this is not the frist time Bayless has been called out for calling Westbrook out of his name. Westbrook’s wife, Nina Westbrook, called out Bayless on Twitter a few months ago for referring to her husband as “Westbrick.”

“You’ve got to stop calling people out of their name,” Nina Westbrook said in reponse to a tweet from Bayless.

“You are very disrespectful and a bully. This is why so many young people think it’s okay to exhibit this type of behavior. Social media has become such heinous place because of people like you. My name is Westbrook,” she added.

“I’m tired you you @RealSkipBayless calling my husband out of his name. It is extremely childish. That is my name as well, and many other peoples name. You’re disrespectful, and I’m extremely offended by your behavior. You should apologize.”
