So for some reason today I was watching Cold Pizza on ESPN (basically just a bunch of guys with inflated egos talking), and I heard Skip Bayless make another brilliant comment!
He was talking about Dallas Mavericks Point Guard Jason Kidd, whom the team recently acquired from the New Jersey Nets. Bayless was talking about his performance in a game last night, and he said Kidd had an "A" performance in the first half, but a "D" performance in the second half. Ok, so all is fine, right? Nope. Then, according to Bayless, the "A" and "D" performances equals a "C-" average. What?!?! I thought he might of been kidding, but he wasn't. Now, I'm no math wiz, but I'm pretty sure an A and D average does not equal a C- average, considering that in the NBA, time is the same for all quarters and half, so one half will not be "worth more" than another. It would be like two 100 point tests, and you get an A on the first, but a D on the second, but your teacher says that he will take the average of those two tests for the final grade, and he comes up with a C-. I'm pretty sure you'd be upset...
This was nothing too important, just once again why ESPN needs to stop trying to hire for entertainment by bringing the Skip Baylesses of the world and hire people who understand sports. Anyone that has followed Skip Bayless knows that he pretty much hates all Ohio teams unless they are doing really well, then he may hop on the bandwagon. For example, Skip said last year that LeBron James was "overrated." Of course, soon after he said that, LeBron scored 48 points in game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, which includes being responsible for 28 of the last 30 points scored by the Cavs. They were down 2-0 in the series before winning 4 straight to move onto the NBA Finals.. This year, Skip, finally seeing the light, is now praising LeBron. It's probably because he is finally understanding how ridiculous he sounds and that he is not really a journalist..
If you've heard anything about Skip Bayless, and would like to comment, please do!
