Skip Bayless has largely stayed away from NFL draft projections since his disastrous take on quarterback Johnny Manziel after the former Heisman Trophy winner went to the Cleveland Browns with the No. Leave the NFL Draft Stuff to Mel Kiper Jr. Bayless, by writing the article, had essentially come to Garvey's defense. The context? The rest of the Dodgers hated their best player and his wife because they thought they were as fake as a $3 bill. The story was largely sourced from a three-hour car ride Bayless took with Garvey and his then-wife, Cyndy. One of the more interesting incidents of Skip Bayless' early career was as a cub reporter with the Los Angeles Times, when he wrote an article about Los Angeles Dodgers star first baseman Steve Garvey. What Happened Between Skip Bayless and Steve Garvey? He appeared visibly hurt that Rose would go at him like this. It was one of the few times we've seen Bayless seem like someone got to him. Rose disclosed that, as a senior, Bayless averaged 1.4 points and didn't even play varsity his junior year. And that someone was former NBA guard and current ESPN on-air personality Jalen Rose, who ether ragged Bayless live on national television by reading his high school basketball stats from Northwest Classen High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Skip Bayless has spent the last 40 years making a mint off of criticizing athletes and, at times, pontificating on his own physical and athletic greatness, with no real substance to back that up.įinally, someone called him out on it.

Maybe because he's also from Oklahoma? Just like Bayless? 24. "Why should I, as a white person, be able to take pride in Blake Griffin's rise because he came from a white mom?" Bayless asked. Griffin's father is Black and his mother is white. In 2011, Skip Bayless decided it would be a good idea to debate whether or not he could take pride in Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin being an elite white player. What makes Bayless' take on Miller even more boneheaded? The seven-time NFL All-Pro was actually named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2011. He was even that rare defensive player who won Super Bowl MVP, which he did with the Broncos in 2016.
Miller responded by winning two Super Bowls - one with the Broncos and one with the Los Angeles Rams. Skip Bayless decided that it would be a good idea to go at Denver Broncos rookie linebacker/defensive end Von Miller in 2011, essentially calling him a choke artist before his career was barely getting off the ground. Honorable Mention: Von Miller is Overrated? Really? These are the worst Skip Bayless takes over the last six decades, including a few times where he ended up getting some just deserts. No matter how awful the things he says are, including on a Twitter account that has over 3 million followers. Through every controversy, Bayless has somehow come out on the other side. Over his time in the spotlight, Bayless has made enemies out of some of the most powerful people in sports for his takes on the biggest issues of the day, even some issues he's created out of thin air. First, as a newspaper columnist for some of the biggest dailies in the United States, then on sports talk radio and finally, on television, where he's become a household name as the host of shows like ESPN's "First Take" alongside Stephen A Smith and now alongside Shannon Sharpe on Fox's "Undisputed," where Bayless reportedly earns $8 million per year.
