Skip Bayless is a HUGE "OU" fan....

[SoonerShay]

....or so he says everytime he is about to rip OU or one of it's playes on First Take.

Dude seems to hate AD even going so far as to say he would be a flop before he got drafted. His reasoning you ask? He is a big "OU" fan and watches all the games.

Then when of course AD isn't a flop and instead a beast. Skip changes his tune and says AD has no heart and when you hit him in the mouth early in the game he will quit. This was after his record setting game by the way. Of course the next year he said Mcfadden would be above and beyond AD in his rookie season. He of course has never been called out on these outlandish predictions. His reasoning for Mcfadden being better was because he was running against SEC defenses!

Today they had up a question up about who would be a better PRO QB, Bradford or Harrell. He goes off on Bradford saying he doesn't have "it" and is to stiff in the pocket to be a good pro. Even though he knows Bradford is projected as a high draft pick right now.

I'm sure you could guess he has been picking Tech to win in Norman and said they could possibly score 70.

He prefaces every comment on us with him being a bigtime "OU" fan.

I normally don't let anyone on TV bother me to much but his act is just going to far now. I actually daydreaming of punching him in the nose now whenever I hear him talk about OU.

Skip does root for the Sooners.

It's his job to rip teams. Half of the time it is an act, part of the entertainment.

he is the king asshat.

All of these guys have one job: get people to pay attention to them; actual analysis - eh, not so much. It looks like he's doing his job pretty darn well!

[primetime43]

reverse psychology!

Skip is a big fan of OU and Hitler just loved France.

You guys who think that Skip is actually serious when he rips OU prolly get your world news from Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart.

[silverwheels]

He's just being an *** to make people talk about him, which makes me dislike him even more than if he really believed those stupid things he is saying.

Watching Skip Bayless kills brain cells.

[snp]

My life has been so much better since my schedule no longer allows me to watch whatever crappy show he appears on.

[sooner94]

His football knowledge is demonstrated by his prediction that AD would be a flop in the NFL.

Didn't Barry list his phone number in Bootlegger's Boy?

Seems like Barry has no love loss for good old Skip.

Although, I could be wrong. It's been a long time since I read that bible, um, I mean book.

If Barry doesn't like him, then he must be a ****** bag!

ya'll know of course that skip bayless went to northwest classen HS

[badger]

It is like saying "With all due respect" if you're a lawyer --- it is the equivalent of saying "F*** You" when you're sounding like you're saying the exact opposite.

Thus, when a sports journalist says "I'm a HUGE fan of _____," just think of it as "He's about to belittle and trash _______" or even more accurately, "F*** you, __________!"

That was our one "sure" conf. win when I was in high school. Things must have been MUCH different when he went there.

[oupride]

I believe he is an OU fan, however I also believe you can not be a homer and ascend to his level in the journalism world. He was born/raised in OKC, and he graduated cum laude from Vanderbilt.

At least THEY'RE honest...

Skip might be the most useless employee of ESPN. That says something.

Ever listen to the Michael Irvin show on radio? :D

[JLEW1818]

I think Skip is funny

[the_ouskull]

He's a ******. He's intentionally a ****** to get people to pay attention to him. He also knows, from what we did to Lupica, the things of which OU fans are capable; therefore, he prefaces his thoughts on all things OU by pretending to be a fan to try to give himself that special, "it's okay if WE say it, but not if YOU do" fan level of criticism. He's just talking out of his *ss because his brain is there.

His predictions are not bad.
