I'm pretty sure I more or less started the Skip Bayless is an often funny troll bandwagon, and I think it's way overboard at this point.

A debate about the quality of various subforums is a super awesome and on topic discussion that surely will not lead anywhere dumb.

I work from home half the week and the afternoon block of Number's Never Lie, Dan Lebetard's trainwreck of a show and Around the Horn / PTI are perfectly fine background noise. ESPN's first take on the other hand is at best sufferable in about a 2 minute dose once a week or so.

I get that this is what Skip does but today he said "I know all about RGIII. He STRUGGLED his first four games." RGIII first four games stats: 92-112 (82%), 18 TDs, 1 INT

His TD-Incompletion ratio was barely over 1:1, that is pretty shameful.

Here is a pretty bad article from Heymanquote:Albert plays lame blame game, points finger at embattled hitting coach I guess it is a blog post. I don't know.

so the Angels hitting coach conveys some dumb little anecdote about a team meeting Pujols says "with all due respect to [hitting coach], that should've been private" Heyman somehow makes this into "PUJOLS BLAMING HIS STRUGGLES ON THE HITTING COACH" loving hack piece of poo poo

It's actually an Arte Moreno hit piece at heart I thinkquote:And don't think the Angels won't can Hatcher, either. The Angels have a recent history of blaming the little people. Or at least of firing them.

Yeah. And "journalistically," fewer people will care about staff members getting fired seemingly on whim than they will about the potential controversy between one such staffer and a star like Pujols. So the two are tied together under the header of what will catch more eyes. Selling papers/getting page views, all in the process.

You'd think she wouldn't have folded so easily then, if that were the case. She started using her real photo (or what we assume now is her real identity) really early on, according to that article, and then recently has embraced doing video work. It's just an odd about-face considering she continued on with the scam.

I kept trying to get through all that and failed every time. So a woman with a gambling blog who runs meme sites got hired by ESPN and then conned another guy with a meme site by having him email other people at ESPN that don't actually exist?
