It's easy, and only takes a few moments.And unfortunately, I see no way that Skip Bayless makes anything less than $200,000, which almost makes me cry myself to sleep. He is so amazingly uninformed and obnoxious it hurts my head to think that he makes so much more than me, doing something that I'd LOVE to do, and he sucks at it.
Actually, he's quite good at what he does. His job is to say the opposite of the common opinion is, no matter how little sense his position makes. That's his role on ESPN... stir things up and make other analysts look smarter. Seriously.
er, hambone1818, I know this is off topic from the thread, but if you're going to recognize Belichick in your signature, please spell his name correctly.
I'm out.
Thanks, no offense intended!haha...yeah, I've debated whether to update that or not. It's actually a quote from the first post of the 'Are you not entertained?' thread from a month ago:

Anyway, it seems it's time to update it. I'd rather look like an informed poster than an accurate quoter.
I can deal with that, and clearly that's the case. But I guess my beef is that Bayless represents everything I hate about the media: obnoxious, loud, contrarian, uninformed, and sensational. Certainly that's his job, and in that respect he does one hell of a job. But it's more that ESPN employs someone for the sole purpose of being obnoxious and making everyone hate them (in the vein of the WWF, playing the 'good guy, bad guy' angle to death), and it bothers me to no end that they're successful with something like this.

I might be too much of a stat geek to deal with the mainstream media (it's probably my baseball, sabermetric side)...I'd love to have a channel dedicated to legitimate ANALYSIS, constant breakdowns of matchups, strength's, weaknesses, statistics, etc.
