I'm startin to think in order to work as a commentator for ESPN you have to smoke crack rocks before the show.

This skip bayless guy just said that houston will lose the next 5 games.

and

Detroit is gonna lose to the Vikings...

and

The giants are gonna beat the eagles....

Why do I keep watching?!

All are possible

ESPN First Take is unbearable. I think on Monday the Rob dude said the Packers are going to go undefeated and he was serious about it. Just a bunch of talking heads spouting nonsense without any real knowledge. Most of the time they get players names wrong etc.

 

[egoo]

People still watch ESPN?

 

[FunkyTeaParty]

I can't even explain how much I hate Skip Bayless. He's a hack. I will never hear him say anything because as soon as I see his stupid face I change the channel.

Watch SportsNation, the pretty lady has some good 1 liners and she gets out of the way so CC can do the heavy lifting. Much better show.

Of course the NFLN trumps the entire ESPN line up including NFL Live, NFL primetime, NFL 32...they all pale in comparison to what Marshall Faulk is talking about on NFLN.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

Yes, they does.

 

[bigdaddydave]

Anything is possible. We are talking about reality here.Matt Schaub leads the league in pass completion.Ben tate is 3rd in rushing yards.Andre is arguably the best receiver in the league.They are 2-0 and gaining speed. What are the chances of them losing the next 5 come on man!

They went 6-10 with the same offense last year.

He's a clown.

Good lord.That's like telling someone they should eat horse crap because at least it tastes better than dog crap. :X

(Totally agree that NFLN is far superior)

And this is what espn looks at to make insane predictions. It's unbelievable lazy analysis. Berry's a big fan of using the past as analysis for fantasy picks. Bunch of hacks. Too bad they overlook Wade having a track record of turning defenses around and so far that Houston D is #1 in YPG and while that's not the entire story(bad indy is going to pad all sorts of D stats) they should be good enough to not drop 5 in a row.

But I think we all can agree it is not the same defense. If anything, I think the Offense has digressed a little from last year - but that may just be from the fact they seemed to need 30+ pts per game to have a chance to win with that defense.

Agreed - and like griff said above - Wade can do the defense thing. I got to see it a lot live at the stadium when he was here, where you can see the entire field and really get a perspective on what's going on. Unless he's recently jabbed an ice pick into his frontal lobe he'll make that defense markedly better.

You don't get on TV by being the most knowledgeable. You get on TV by knowing enough to impress the casual or non fan, and by being a personality.

Skip Bayless just said that NDamukong Suh is not a pass rusher...WHAT?! I almost lost my rice krispies and Nate Newton went from 350 lbs to 175 lbs in an instant. I cannot watch this show anymore. i know Skip is a pot stirrer in every sense of the word but this is just plain awful. He wasn't kidding and Newton had a conniption. Suh had 10 sacks as a rookie DT, show me the last time anyone has done that? He is quickly becoming one of the elite in the NFL. Skip said he is just an anchor...LOL...Jason Ferguson was an anchor, Tony Siragusa was an anchor, Russell Maryland was an anchor, Suh is a 1 man wrecking crew at times, and he is double teamed on 80% of the plays if not more. Plus Suh can line up at different positions and he is only in year 2.

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard regarding Suh. I don't even think he watches the games anymore, but what really gets me is how smug he is about everything.Also how do you not have NFL Gameday Final on!? You're letting me down buddy.

They're 1-1 since he said that, and could easily be 0-2.

andDetroit is gonna lose to the Vikings...

They almost did. Ended up winning in overtime.

andThe giants are gonna beat the eagles....

They did.

Why do I keep watching?!

Because maybe they know more about football than you do?

Umm skip is only 1 for three while Dave is 2 for 3. Pretty sure that means he knows more about football than skip.Although, I'm not exactly sure how your math skills eroded to the point that wasn't obvious to you.

Umm skip is only 1 for three while Dave is 2 for 3. Pretty sure that means he knows more about football than skip.Although, I'm not exactly sure how your math skills eroded to the point that wasn't obvious to you.

Skip picked three events with a very low expectation of success. Let's say there was a 10% chance of each of the things Skip picked actually happening. That means there was a 27.1% chance that Skip would go 1 for 3, and a 97.2% chance that bigdaddydave would "go" 2 for 3 by mocking Skip. So spare me the 2nd grade math and its faulty conclusions. Your boy not only botched a very simple thread title, but he also implied that Skip smoked crack rocks before making his unlikely predictions - one of which came true, one of which was thisclose to coming true, and one of which is technically "wrong" but where it really falls on the spectrum from right to wrong won't really be determined for another three weeks (e.g. if Houston ends up 1-4 over this stretch, I'm giving the point to Skip and not to bigdaddydave). It's easy to pick chalk all the time and pretend that it shows you know what you're talking about.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Let us remember that Skip Bayless blamed Jason Witten for the Cowboys week 1 loss to the Jets. That says it all about what a dope he is.

I tune in to AtNFL from 1:00-6:00, just like to see what ESPN might have. You're right though, waste of time.
