The Worst Takes Skip Bayless Has Ever Had

by

Skip Bayless is known for being controversial. It’s what brought in viewers to First Take and does the same with Undisputed with Shannon Sharpe now. Everyone tunes in to see what kind of nonsense he’ll spout about the latest sports news.

Skip Bayless has 3.2 million Twitter followers (and doesn’t follow anyone at all on the site) and a majority of them aren’t there for his wisdom and advice. Quite the contrary, actually, as many of them are likely there for his wild takes.

Over the years, Bayless has put a lot on Twitter and said a lot on his various platforms. He has bad takes quite often, but here are a few of the most outrageous takes he’s ever had.

Skip Bayless’ Twitter is full of poor takes

How can the NFL cancel the game after Damar Hamlin’s injury?

Bayless took to Twitter amidst the Damar Hamlin injury during the Monday Night Football contest of the NFL’s Week 17. That was his first mistake. It was a sober moment, and one that genuinely didn’t need interrupting from Skip. Nevertheless, he tried it and gave a pretty poor take.

He wondered how the NFL could consider cancelling the game after Hamlin effectively died on the field. Yes, the game was an important one for AFC seeding, but this was a man’s life on the line.

Skip Bayless tried to deftly maneuver the topic and the sensitivity of the situation, but he failed as he often does. What resulted was one of his most insensitive and thoughtless tweets of all time.

Tim Tebow can be A better Player than Cam Newton

This tweet from Bayless regarding Cam Newton and Tim Tebow is an all-timer. The then-ESPN analyst has always been a huge fan of Tebow, but this take aged as poorly as any. Bayless believed that Tebow would have a better career than Newton.

As it turned out, Newton had a far superior career and it’s not even close. Newton may be done playing thanks to injuries now, but Tebow was never even close to as good as he was. The MVP and Super Bowl appearance prove that without even looking at all of Newton’s other excellent seasons.

Newton could be a Hall of Famer one day. Tebow would be lucky to get on a ballot.

Josh Freeman is better than Cam Newton

For a long time, it was clear that Bayless was no fan of Cam Newton’s. Not only did he say Tim Tebow would be better, he also said that about Josh Freeman. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback started three seasons and was out of the NFL after 2015.

Bayless said:

“Long term give me Josh Freeman over Cam. Better leader, more consistent passer, more clutch, more poised under fire, more careful with ball.”

@RealSkipBayless on Twitter

Newton has three Pro Bowl appearances and won an MVP in 2015. Once again, this take could not have aged more poorly.

Johnny Manziel > LeBron James

Skip is a known LeBron James hater, but this take took the hating to another level. Bayless once tweeted that Johnny Manziel, the electric quarterback from Texas A&M, woud have a better career in Cleveland than the NBA’s now-leading scorer, LeBron James.

Manziel flamed out of the NFL and never even looked like he would have a career as a backup. Even though James has left Cleveland twice, it’s safe to say there’s no comparison whatsoever. Manziel barely made an impact on Cleveland and James will never see an athlete replace him in that city.

Von Miller is overrated

Von Miller is probably on his way to the Hall of Fame. At the very least, he can sleep at night with a Super Bowl MVP award and knowing that he was probably the biggest reason the Denver Broncos won Super Bowl 50. He also won Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams, so he’s had one fine career.

Rewind back to when he was a young player with the Denver Broncos and see how poorly this Skip Bayless tweet aged. Maybe Miller isn’t Denver’s MVP, but he was in the biggest game of his life, so Bayless once again couldn’t be more wrong.

More Tim Tebow love

Tim Tebow had a mediocre career with the Denver Broncos, which is why they jumped at signing Peyton Manning when he left the Indianapolis Colts. Bayless wasn’t a fan, but he did believe that Tebow could land elsewhere and finally have a real chance to become the NFL superstar the analyst always knew he would be.

Unfortunately, that never happened. Tebow was effectively out of the league after that and Manning went to two Super Bowls with Denver and won one of them on his way out of the league. Manning is a Hall of Famer and Tebow tried to play tight end recently. There’s no comparison at all.

Derek Fisher will outcoach Steve Kerr

Steve Kerr has won Coach of the Year and won three NBA Finals trophies. Derek Fisher is not even an active coach. One might think that there was no question over which coach was better. One would be wrong.

Bayless firmly believed that Fisher would end up being better than Kerr back in 2014. Just two years later, Kerr won that Coach of the Year and proved that Bayless was foolish. Seven years later, Kerr is leading the defending champion Golden State Warriors still, making the tweet look like an all time cold take.

Kerr may have the added benefit of coaching two all-time three-point shooters, but there’s no denying his ability as a coach. Mark Jackson didn’t win a Finals with the same core players.

Brandon Weeden is a star according to Skip Bayless

In 2012, Skip Bayless was convinced that the Cleveland Browns had found their franchise quarterback at long last. Brandon Weeden was their savior, according to the controversial analyst.

“Browns just stole a starting QB: Brandon Weeden. Much better than Tannehill. Will soon beat out Colt, have 6-7 good yrs. TRich AND Weeden!”

@RealSkipBayless on Twitter

Ryan Tannehill hasn’t been an MVP caliber player, but he’s still playing and starting in the NFL. Weeden isn’t and was never a good NFL quarterback. The Browns have truthfully been looking for their franchise quarterback since well before then. Maybe they’ve found it in Deshaun Watson.

Cardale Jones > Dak Prescott

Dak Prescott is potentially about to be extended by the Dallas Cowboys, but he’s at least a Pro Bowl level quarterback. Cowboys superfan Bayless believed that Cardale Jones of Ohio State University would be a better pick.

Lost in all of that is the fact that everyone, perhaps even Bayless, was clamoring over Paxton Lynch, who recently became the only quarterback to be benched in the NFL, CFL, USFL and finally, the XFL.

Skip Bayless’ Twitter is a bit of a cesspool of poor takes. He probably has one awful take per week, but some of them stand out. Which tweets from Skip deserve to be on this list? Let us know in the comments.

Twitter Bashes Joe Budden For Michael B. Jordan Rant

by

Social media went into a frenzy yesterday after the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast was released. A clip of the show’s hosts immediately went viral as they shared their thoughts on Michael B. Jordan’s heated exchange with podcaster Lore’l. The actor-director called out his former schoolmate during a red carpet interview for allegedly calling him corny back in 2021. While Melyssa Ford, Ice, Ish, Parks, and Queenz Flip all chimed in on the matter, it was Joe Budden’s comments that sent people over the edge.

In episode 606, Budden barks on Michael B. Jordan for how he treated Lore’l during their run-in. “You[‘ve] probably never been more visible than you are right this second, and that’s what you do to her,” he expresses. Joe also calls the Creed III star zesty and “a corny a** n***a” prior to bringing up his dating history. “And if I bring back those White girl rumors, then it’s gonna sound even crazier, ‘cause why are you talking to our sisters like that on the red carpet?” This is where spectators chimed in, calling the former lyricist a hypocrite as they reflected back on Joe’s own chaotic past. “‘You n***as think money hides corny’ is a spot on description of joe budden ironically,” says one user.

Twitter Calls Out Joe Budden For Being A Hypocrite

Other tweeters called him out for his abusive relationship with model ex-girlfriend Tahiry Jose. @Relly_95 tweets: “Joe Budden calling Michael B Jordan Corny for how he reacted to the girl who took shots at him when he was younger is hilarious considering man [gave] Tahiry two black eyes.” Joe’s former lover aired him out and shared her assault stories in a 2020 interview with Hollywood Unlocked.

Irregardless, Joe continues to stand on his statement, asking people to back off in a recent Instagram Story. In it, Budden writes: “If any other Black multimillionaire embarrassed a woman working on a red carpet cuz she thought he was corny in 7th grade y’all would call him a lot more than corny.” Lore’l has since denied calling Michael B. Jordan corny, admitting it was her podcast cohost Dominique Da Diva. The two were discussing his past relationship with socialite Lori Harvey when she said, “We all know the nice, corny guys treat you the best.”

Wiz Khalifa Teases New Music With Anderson .Paak

by

Philly hitmaker Wiz Khalifa is back on a roll as of late. Aside from the rerelease 2008’s Star Power—now on streaming platforms—the 35-year-old is steady in the studio as he prepares to drop new projects. Fans have already received his long-awaited “#NeverDrinkingAgain” single, as well as a surprise track entitled “Mercury Retrograde.” Now it appears he has yet another song in the works, this time with a feature from Breezy Lovejoy, a.k.a. Anderson .Paak. This may be a result of their recent meeting at Warner Music’s Grammy party, held about one month ago.

The marijuana advocate took to Twitter to announce the music news yesterday evening (March 1). “We gotta banger on the way,” Wiz tweets with a photo as he stands next to .Paak in his smoky studio. The two reportedly had an early morning session, which fans will get to hear hopefully sooner than later. Anderson .Paak shared an image of the two alongside the track’s producer, Fred Wreck, in his Instagram Story. Their beatmaker alluded to the track on his own page, writing “Bending Frequencies with these two giants” in his caption.

Wiz Khalifa Announces New Collab On Twitter

The year also sees new collaborations from Wiz and rap legend Snoop Dogg. 2023’s “Cheech & Chong” unloaded “Don’t Text Don’t Call” this week, produced by fellow artist Ty Dolla $ign. The duo are also currently filming the sequel to 2012’s smoker’s classic, Mac & Devin Go To High School. Snoop alluded to the cult film’s revisit on Instagram, which is fittingly titled High School Reunion. The movie is rumored to release this summer, to the joy of their stoner supporters.

Anderson .Paak, on the other hand, is still reveling in the success of his tracks with rapper Cordae. J. Cole got behind the production of their “Two Tens” single, following behind 2022’s politic-driven track “RNP.” The three rap artists apparently have enough music to make an EP, according to Cordae. In an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, the soon-to-be father says they “got a mixtape full of joints” in the stash. “Well, we got an EP full of joints with me, .Paak, and Cole beats,” Cordae later expounds.

Chance The Rapper Thanks Martin Short For Random Act Of Kindness

by

Chance The Rapper randomly ran into Martin Short, but didn’t recognize him at first glance. While traveling with his seven-year-old daughter Kensli, the rapper realized that their airplane seats weren’t next to each other. Although he didn’t want to “inconvenience anyone by asking them to swap seats,” a surprising hero came to save the day. Short, who was on the same flight, offered to trade his spot so the father and daughter could sit next to each other.

The pair had both exchanged thanks with one another, but were unaware of each other’s celebrity status. It was only after Short stood up that Chance was able to recognize the 72-year-old actor. Quickly, it clicked that the “kind older gentleman” was in fact “THE Martin Short,” and both Chance and Kensli were ecstatic. The “Cocoa Butter Kisses” rapper tweeted shortly after, “Kensli freaked out cause she’s obsessed with The Santa Clause 3.” 

Chance The Rapper Didn’t Recognize Martin Short

Chance, who just popped out of his musical hiatus with his November release of “YAH Know,” took to Twitter following the run-in to write a “shoutout to Jack Frost.” “So I just got on this plane with my daughter,” he explained, “and found out our seats weren’t next to each other.” He goes on to recount Short offering “his seat to Kensli so we could sit together,” and stating “what an awesome person” he is. Adding to the humor of the situation, Chance believes that the Only Murders in the Building star hadn’t recognized him either. “Definitely not, which made it way cooler. He just a nice dude ig,” he tweeted.

Twitter fans were quick to call out Short’s Canadian nationality, which they believe instigated his kindness. One user jokingly tweeted, “Martin Short representing Canada in the air.” Another added, “Martin Short is the only human who really matters.” Needless to say, fans have garnered a hefty appreciation for Short, just as has Chance. Although the unlikely meeting between the actor and the rapper occurred outside of Hollywood, the two probably are well acquainted with each other’s names by now.

Moneybagg Yo Denies Having Sex With Woman In Viral Picture

by

Moneybagg Yo denied that he was the one having sex in a viral picture on social media. Moreover, a picture of a man and a woman in the act started to spread around the Internet in various contexts. In fact, many made a big deal out of the fact that the man looks eerily similar to the Memphis rapper. After all, even the least bit of resemblance, once pointed out, will get people talking- and make a tweet go viral. However, the “On Wat U On” MC was having none of it and shut down rumors that it was him on Twitter. Furthermore, he pointed out that real fans should’ve noticed that the pictured male doesn’t have any tattoos on his body like Bagg does.

“Mane stop mentioning me in this picture of somebody getting f***ed,” he wrote indignantly via Twitter. “Y’all ppl WEIRD bra my whole body tatted s**t not me!” In a subsequent series of tweets, he made light of the situation with some cheekier and more humorous comments. “People be Slow internet dry y’all need some attention,” the 31-year-old continued. “U lame a** n***as be ready for me to f**k up,” he concluded with some crying-laughing emojis.

Moneybagg Yo Isn’t Having Sex In Viral Picture

While not everyone’s convinced in the comments, is that really the hill you want to die on? Regardless, the Bread Gang Entertainment boss has bigger things to worry about and more important people to consider. For example, he recently took the time to honor rising (and practically established) star GloRilla on her incredible career trajectory thus far. The fellow Memphis MC blew up last year off of her raw energy, and he gifted her a Bread Gang chain at assumedly one of her tour shows.

Meanwhile, Moneybagg usually takes to social media to flex his extensive jewelry collection, which he showed off recently as well. “Ain’t even half,” he wrote on the Story post’s caption, which featured various chains, watches, and pendants. As such, it’s no wonder he has some ice laying around to gift to up-and-comers as a sign of respect. However you feel about that picture, check back in with HNHH for the latest updates on Moneybagg Yo.

Bhad Bhabie Wants Chief Keef To Know She Loves Him

by

Bhad Bhabie just tweeted out some pleading messages to Chief Keef, asking fans to tell him she loves him. Moreover, fans on social media are wondering what might’ve happened this time, as she’s said similar comments about NBA YoungBoy and others. Still, there’s not too much recorded history between these two rappers, so fans expressed perplexed feelings. Of course, many replied to her tweet with projective comments and trolled her for her insistency. Still, she did also seemingly delete one of the reported tweets about him, so it’s a bit of a weird situation.

Furthermore, Bhabie took to Twitter on Sunday (February 26) to proclaim her love of Sosa. On her page, a couple of tweets remain. “Y’all go tell keef I’m sorry and that I love him,” she wrote with a teary-eyed “yearning” emoji. “He hate me it’s cool tho imma b back,” she continued, adding a kissing emoji. However, some outlets like DJ Akademiks included another tweet that’s apparently been deleted. Of course, it could also be a false report included in the media maelstrom. “Tatted on me [six times] sosa the only mf I’ll ever love fr!” she allegedly added. Sure, the Chicago drill pioneer is an absolute legend, but why does he apparently hate Bhad Bhabie?

Bhad Bhabie Tries To Reach Chief Keef

Well, many assumed on social media that there might’ve been some sort of fling or relationship between the two that could’ve led to this falling out- and subsequent one-sided pleas for return. In fact, it wouldn’t be the first time in recent memory that such rumors swirled. Moreover, Lil Gotit denied dating her back in September of last year. “No, the f**k I did not date her,” he told Adam22 on the No Jumper podcast. “Stop doin that lame a** s**t. That s**t crazy.”

Meanwhile, this will likely be another case of the influencer getting post-facto flack for her media posts. Recently, she totaled her first car and said she never wants to be in a vehicle “ever again.” After she shared her story, she pulled all related posts and ranted about constant hate on her Instagram Story. Given Sosa’s rabid fanbase, we’ll see how these cryptic messages play out. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Bhad Bhabie and Chief Keef.

Kid Cudi Teases His Next Album: “Ur Not Prepared”

by

Kid Cudi says that his next album will be released later in the year and be preceded by several singles over the summer. He teased his plans for the rest of 2023 in a pair of tweets posted on Monday. Cudi also confirmed that he intends to embark on a world tour to promote the new songs. The comments come after he recently hinted at retiring from music after his next project.

“Album this Fall. First singles this summer. The new chapter has begun,” Cudi wrote. “Ur not prepared man. We’ve reached a new level.” In another tweet, he replied to a fan: “World tour next year. Count on it.”

Kid Cudi On His Next Album

The announcement comes months after Cudi recently discussed his desire to retire with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. At the time, Cudi had recently released his eighth studio album, Entergalactic. “The Kid Cudi stuff, I think I want to put it on the back burner and chill out with that. I think, I want to be done with it. I think, closing the chapter on Kid Cudi,” he admitted. “I’ve said a lot and I have other desires, I have other things I want to do. And I do not see me never making music. I’ll always fuck around in the studio, or make something here and there. But, as far as getting in the studio and working on an album, and then going and touring it, I just don’t have it in me.”

As for what Cudi said he’d be interested in doing, he explained: “I really want to spend more time with my daughter. You know what I’m saying? We’ve been kicking it a lot lately and I’ve been having more time and it’s good. She’s growing up, our relationship is super tight. It’s what I always dreamed of.” A few months later, in November, Cudi confirmed that he’d make one more album to get out of his current deal with Republic Records. From there, Cudi says that he’s not sure what fans can expect from his career afterward.

Jake Paul Takes To Twitter Following Loss To Tommy Fury

by

Jake Paul was very confident going into his fight against Tommy Fury. Overall, Paul was convinced he would come through with a knockout in the fourth round. However, that is not how it went down. Instead, Fury won the match via split decision. It was a close fight, although it is clear that Fury won more rounds in a convincing fashion. Despite Paul’s ability to knockdown Fury in the eighth round, it wasn’t enough to ultimately get the victory. For Paul, this is the first loss of his career.

As for Tommy Fury, he will be looked at as just a bit more legitimate. He defeated someone he had evaded on two separate occasions, and now, he can seek out more seasoned fighters. When it comes to Jake Paul, no one knows what he will do next. It is clear that he still needs a ton of work before he can even think about legitimate title fights. However, he is still a young guy and there is plenty of time for him to work on his craft. As he made it clear on Twitter, he plans to come back with a vengeance.

Jake Paul Speaks

“Don’t judge me by my wins, judge me by my losses. Congrats to Tommy, his team and his family. Thank you to everyone that tuned in. Saudi Arabia thank you as well. I will be back.” Paul wrote. “To all my young fans, I love you. Don’t be saddened by my loss. Life is full of ups and downs. You just have to learn from your failures and come back better. Hard work, hard work, hard work.” This is certainly a great message to convey. Moreover, it shows that Paul is being modest in defeat. There were fears he would take his first loss poorly, but that has not been the case.

Moving forward, it will be interesting to see how things go for Paul. He could definitely get in the ring with someone like KSI, who has been jonesing for a fight against Paul. Although, who knows if Paul still wants to fight YouTube personalities? Let us know who you think Jake should fight next, down in the comments below.

Jake Paul Loses To Tommy Fury: Twitter Reacts

by

Jake Paul suffered the first loss of his boxing career on Sunday at Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. Tommy Fury defeated the YouTuber by a split decision (74-75, 76-73, 76-73) to continue his undefeated streak. Fans on Twitter had plenty to say about the highly-anticipated fight.

Those waiting for Paul to finally fail celebrated en masse after the result was announced. “Everyone arriving at Twitter to celebrate Jake Paul getting beat by Tommy Fury,” one user captioned a video of a large crowd traveling down an escalator. Another said, “Jake Paul fought an actual boxer this time and lost. He should have kept fighting bus drivers and strippers.”

Other users also called back to Drake’s massive $400,000 bet on Jake Paul to knock out Tommy Fury. He shared the bet on Saturday night. “Drake realizing the script changed for Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury,” one user captioned a photo of the Toronto rapper checking his phone.

As for the reactions from the fighters themselves, Fury said that he’s now cemented his own legacy separate from being Tyson Fury’s brother. “For the past two years, this is all that has consumed my life. Broken rib. Denied access. Everybody thought I was running scared. Tonight, I made my own legacy. I am Tommy Fury,” Fury said after the fight. “All through these past two years, I had a dream and a vision that I would win this fight. And no one believed me. Now I can stand up and everybody can take note. It’s my first main event at 23 years old. I had pressure on my shoulders, and I came through.”

Jake Paul gave credit to Fury, but confirmed that he wants a chance at a rematch. “All respect to Tommy, he won,” Paul said. “Don’t judge me by my wins, judge me by my losses. We deserve that rematch. I don’t know that I agree [with the scorecards]. I got a 10-8 round twice. … So, this is definitely a humbling experience. I’ll take it on the chin and we can run it back.”
