Skip Bayless is a joke.

[FlyHighFalcons 538]

He just said we are "nowhere near the best team in the NFC." The other guy (don't know his name) just said we have a big 3 in Matt Ryan, Roddy White, and Michael Turner. He is defending us a lot.

Back to Bayless (or however you spell it). He said we got away three times. Against SF, TB and Baltimore twice. He was like "the Nate Clements interception," then he kind of jumbled together the fact that RODDY WHITE stripped the ball. Then in the TB game he said "Blount had to get by a SAFETY on fourth and one." Doesn't that just show how good the safety is? Then he said that Jenks had a no catch and Roddy pushed off.

Will people get off Roddy for that? He said he was getting grabbed, so he pushed him off. That's a double pass interference. They were both wrong. Shut up Skip.

Dont put to much stock into Bayless. I honestly think he says the things he does to stir up the public. Hes just constantly wrong.

[FalconinPA 12,699]

Yeah, I already knew this. There seems to be alot of threads started today saying this. To expect anthing more of Skip clueless is uncivilized.

[DemDirtyBirds4 361]

I love how when the Jets win close games they are "gods" but when the Falcons do it we are lucky and not that good. ESPN is a crock of **** and you cant expect alot out of Skip Brainless.

I perfer Skip Brainless

[ATLfanintheROC 96]

if vick was under center they wouldn't call us overrated, keep downplaying us, its just gonna add more fuel to the fire and keep the team motivated.

Brainless, Thoughtless, Clueless, d*ckless, gutless take your pick! The list could go on and on describing this guy.

Pretty much. We get looked at like that one high school bball team that always makes the state tourney and your like "How the heck did they make it in. They don't have any athletes on there squad and don't do anything special. We are about to walk over these clowns."

After the game: "WTF how did we lose?!?"

[isproab 2,010]

Everybody seems to be doing this to us. No matter who we beat, they want to take the win away. If a team does not come in prepare, or does not execute a simple play, then shame on them. That does not mean the Falcons are lucky.

Teams wins b/c other teams are not good enough to pass protect in key situations, or opposing team QB's don't read the D right and throw a pick, or the kicker is garbage and misses a 30 yard field goal. That is just part of the game.

I said it a few weeks ago, once the Falcons drag the Packers up and down the dome turf, there will be no more excuses. Falcons are a very good team, right now, the best in the NFC. It amazes me how everybody was on the Saint bandwagon last year when they had not even had as much success historically as Atlanta. Now, the Falcons have put together what is going to be 3 good seasons in a row with what should be a 2rd playoff birth in 3 years. There is no reason to think they are not for real. As bad as the Cowboys are, every analyst will line up next season (if there is a season) and pick the Cowboys again. I don't think we get our proper respect until we win it all. Don't worry, it will not be long now...

[yardbird? 81]

Dudes. You can win out the rest of the season, get to the SB and pitch a shutout and you will still be called a mediocre team. Wake up boys, the NFC South will never get anymore than we are now getting.....That's why we need to keep Mr. Lombardi down here in the SOUTH!!

Fuggem'...fuggem' all.

[Falcons 'til Death 140]

Reason being the Falcons are not a rating generating team like the Jets. There are no QB contraversities, no players screaming for an extension and threatening to hold out,etc. Our head coach doesn't make a ham out of himself in front of the camera like Rex Ryan does.

In fact, all this team does is go out and win football games and in the media's eye that's boring as shyte.

[freebird310 9,549]

What a dooshbag ......

[Shiney_McShine 543]

So where's the punchline?

[section322 2]

First Take is scripted. Panel has to always disagree to make it interesting. Skip just says the opposite of common sense.

[MattyIceIsSoNice 120]

We are talking about the same guy who said Daniel Gibson was the king of Cleveland, not Lebron (said that 2 years ago) and also said Vick should just be a RB because he can't throw. He's said many other downright stupid things but those are the 2 that I can think of off the top of my head.

[helmsman 30]

Dude, his name is skip. Give him a break will ya? Just Skip on to the next channel and the problem is solved for you. For him, well he will always be known as skip, and whenever he walks in a crowded park he will here his name shouted over and over only to realize that skip is more of a dogs name than a persons. Poor skip.

[NoMoreVick 220]

They're paid to say this stuff on First and Ten. In fact, that's how it is on most of those shows. It's the same as some sports journalists spouting stupid crap all the time. It gives him/her publicity, and they love it. Why? Because it works. They know that's what attracts people their their colums, or in this case, their show. It worked, right? You're on here talking about it.

Story time.

ESPN holds that yearly event down at Disney World. Two years ago my buddy went with his girlfriend and he ran into Skip. He went off on him asking him these arbitrary questions, "How could you even think that?" "You don't really believe that do you?" Etc. etc. Skip just laughs and tells him, "It's my job. I don't believe a lot of the things I said on the show. We have to stir the pot and it works." He says Skip is actually a really cool guy.

It's all about the entertainment. And we're biting.

[FalconState 996]

I like watching skip I think he's funny but he never says good things

About the falcons but I still like the dude

[Buc-man™® 390]

i dunno, dude does have a point...

[Atl/0 881]

At first I thought he was hating on the falcons just because vick was the qb. Now I think he really doesn't like us period.
