The Lions' Pride

Details?

Sherman did anything but "undress" Bayless. If anything, Sherman came off as an immature, over-emotional little girl. Skip trolled him hard and won.

Kind of agree. Shermann was on there to promote his working with kids and that is how he represented himself? Bayless is a troll/idiot, but there is a time and a place. So much for your Stanford education, just goes to show you can't buy or teach common sense.

Sign me up...I'm sure I want my kids being taught life lessons by that ego.

But isn't that what people like Bayless want? To get these athletes to attack them so they can then play the victim?

It's nothing but shock TV, just all talk and radio shows seem to be now. The whole concept of two people yelling at each other because they disagree is so played out. It's boring TV in my humble opinion. ESPN programming has become Jerry Springer of Sports.

Skip got exactly what he wanted, people talking about his show after it was over.

Terrible tv. I never watch that show but that segment is just garbage tv.

I think Richard called him out and I was fine with it ... I enjoyed it.

I believe Richard was correct with just about everything he said ... he could have been smoother with his delivery.

It's funny that immaturity is now standing up for yourself after some guy says a bunch of crap about you.

it was very uncomfortable. Bill Simmons had a couple tweets stating same - nobody won and he's right. Nobody ever really wins going on that show and acting like Smith and Bayless.

Sherman looked like a little baby. God forbid someone doesn't think you're better than Revis.

Disagree completely. Skip's only question was, "do you think you're better than Revis?", which is an asinine question. Sherman said look at the stats and the results. He is unquestionably one of the best in the world at what he does and was justifiably recognized as such. He couldn't win actually saying yes or no. Pointing out that Skip is a talentless d-bag was just icing on the cake. Everyone always complains about athletes giving the PC answer. Yet when they say what's really on their mind, they get lambasted anyway. I applaud the guy.

Makes Skip look better than this Richard Sherman guy. Act your age, you have a freaking degree from Stanford! Skip does his job by making people disagree with him, but this guy obviously failed to see that and took it personally.

+1.

To CK, makes Skip look better than what? An ass that has no idea what he's talking about? Nope, he did nothing to change that impression. I am amazed that anyone with half a brain (or a life) watches that show. The only times I've heard Skip in recent years were this clip, the clip of Mark Cuban ripping him for knowing nothing about basketball and Jalen Rose ripping him about his exaggerated basketball exploits. There seems to be a trend there.

I said it was all my opinion. Here's where I differ (again, this is solely IMO, so please nobody get offended, there are pretty good arguments both ways, especially when someone as divisive as Skip is involved).

It's easy for people outside to see through Skip's act. Him trolling players means nothing to me. It's obvious what he's doing to me, and I think it's stupid. But I don't see any reason to react to it, just let it pass.

However, these players are the ones he's trolling, so it's obviously a completely different situation. He's not making fun of me personally, so IDGAF what he says, but he specifically called Sherman out, so me sitting on the sidelines saying "he should see through it" is probably a little bit harsh.

With that said, there are much better ways to handle this than how Sherman did (again, I'm on the outside, so it's much easier for me to sit behind a keyboard and say all of this). But when Skip says "you're not near the level of Revis, would you agree?" all he has to do is say "you're wrong." He can even get mad and say "that's a joke, look at my numbers, I was one of the best corners in the game and he didn't play." Very innocuous comments. Instead, he went on to say Skip was not as good at life as he was (WTF does that even mean?) and basically said Skip was a waste of talent while he's one of the best CB's in the NFL, making his life so much more successful than Skip's. It's a ridiculously arrogant statement. Sherman was blessed with great talent and he also works his ass off. That doesn't mean he's any better or worse at life than anyone else. It's a ridiculous thing to say to someone, especially when that person is a professional troll. It's exactly what Skip wanted and he loved it. Sherman gave him everything he could have asked for and did it in such a ridiculously arrogant way (again all IMO) that it just looks childish and petty.
