People We Hate: Skip Bayless

How do you become more annoying than Stephen A. Smith? Years of experience, never agreeing with conventional wisdom, and deciding that kicking should be outlawed in the NFL.


Skip also loses points for making Woody Paige seem like a reasonable man during Cold Pizza, the show that makes me happy that I work 3 hours a day in the morning. He also called Troy Aikman both a homosexual and racist while failing to insult Aikman's announcing partner and probable hetero-lifemate Joe Buck. Other people Skip feels are not elite athletes;

• Kevin Garnett
• LeBron James
• Peyton Manning
• Frank Thomas
• Tiger Woods
• Randy Moss
• Any member of the Dallas Cowboys

Evidently, Skip's entire job at ESPN is to make the rest of the staff seem brilliant by comparison. Clearly there was a reason why espn.com waited until after Skip's writing tenure was over to add a comments feature. To add insult to injury, he also played an ESPN announcer in Rocky Balboa, the movie that showcased Antonio Tarver's acting skills.

Fuck you, Skip.
