www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/09/11/skip-bayless-dak-prescott-depression/Basically Dallas qb Dak Prescott came forward talking about issues with depression during the pandemic and related to the suicide of his brother. Skip decides that this somehow is a sign of weakness and may affect Dak's leadership and gives a stupid, tone deaf take that goes beyond his usual clownery. In short, f*** Skip Bayless.

It’s hilarious how everyone is dunking on him.
Dez Bryant literally said “f*** Skip Bayless” Rich Eisen called him out
Dude killed his career in real time and it’s glorious.

He's an asshole. And at this point, if you take him seriously, it's on you.

Skip tried clarifying and essentially said nothing.
As someone who suffers from particularly severe depression myself, Skip can officially kiss my ass.

I saw a youtube live stream apparently talking about it but no one actually said what he had said so I was confused.
Skip is an asshole who just lives to troll....now I do not believe he should be fired like others are saying but he damn sure needs to be repramended and I am glad to see he is being taken to the preverbial woodshed.

Hopefully, he can skip his skinny little ass to the unemployment line.

Hopefully, he can skip his skinny little ass to the unemployment line. As long as there's some dipshit willing to pay him money for his "hot takes", he will always have a job. That's the world we live in. That's why Colin Cowherd has a job, that's why Jason Whitlock has a job, and that's why Clay Travis has a job.

F*** off
You don't troll with that type of shit especially when he is talking about the death of his brother and how the depression and isolation played into all that
I'd def fire him. That's going over the line. But, at the min he needs to be suspended. You pay him for hot takes but that's past human decency

There isn’t a lick of sincerity to anything he says. He’s a hot fake manufacturing hack. His only goal is stir up “controversy”. And he’s somehow duped people into paying him millions to do it. But looks like he may have went to far this time. If he loses his job, all I can say is good riddance.

Skip Bayless wrote a book about the Dallas Cowboys in the mid-1990s in which he speculated with no evidence that Troy Aikman was gay. Asked about it a few years ago, Aikman still was irked by it, saying: “When a guy like that comes out and, whether it's intimated or stated, and there's no substance to that claim, and he's doing it purely to gain interest in a book, that's a problem ... I will tell you this. I've not seen -- I've not physically seen Skip Bayless since that time. That was in '95. And I still kind of wonder what I might do to him when I do see him.”
Skip Bayless has been playing these games for literally decades. Anyone shocked right now hasn’t been paying attention.

Oh I'm neither shocked nor surprised. I'm just saying f*** him.

I haven't listened to or watched his bullshit in a few years, so I dunno what kind of stuff he's been saying, but he's taken the shtick too far this time. Yikes. I'm not even going to get into my own issues, I'll just say the guy's a straight up asshole.

Stephen A was on today and showed a very serious side to himself and showed this shit isn't a game
He said there was two times he didn't care if he died due to how depressed he was and it was when his brother died and when his mother died. If it wasn't for his family, he don't know where he would be

Did Skip cross the line and completely miss the mark? Absolutely. He sounded ignorant as hell.
But what do you expect? He’s a take merchant. That’s all he is. FS1 pays him to say stupid shit and they’re getting what they paid for.
You don’t turn to Skip Bayless for honest analysis. He’s not going to give that to you. You’re going to get dumb shit that’s said solely to get a rise out of people. Normally, it’s completely sports-related, but this time he proved that his ignorance can translate over to mental health.

Say what you will about ESPN and the hive mind that surrounds it with everything, but SVP has always been one of the very few good things about that channel.

He's an asshole. And at this point, if you take him seriously, it's on you. Yeah, I agree. It's mostly the public's fault. I'm not being sarcastic either. Skip says things that will get people out there talking about him, and parlays that into being famous and making a living. It would be easy for us to move onto making him the next Jay Mariotti who hasn't been heard from in many years, if people would just stop reacting to him. At this point, this abhorrent mental health take or something even worse like racial or homophobic remarks could be talked off as schtick. For the love of god people, stop bringing this guy up and being free advertising for him.
