Favorite Quotes from Skip Bayless

“Interviewing Michael Jordan is like playing him one on one. If he respects you and especially your media platform and he’s amused by your college try, he’ll let you get off a shot or two. Then he’ll go behind his back, give you a head fake and leave you wondering exactly what he meant by this and that.” – SkipBayless

“If the NFL can keep getting away with forcing players to wait three years out of high school before they’re drafted – three! – the NCAA should be made to do away with its rules against paying players beyond the room, board, and tuition. I’m not talking about some token, $2,000-a-year ‘spending money’ stipend for every player.” – SkipBayless

“During games, I love a Twitter-rocking dunk as much as the next NBA nut. But now, I’d slightly rather see a crowd-detonating (or crowd-silencing) 3-pointer, either off four or five whip-whip passes or (even better) off a steal and a one-on-two pull-up on a solo fast break. No shot in basketball can be more psychologically devastating.” – SkipBayless

“I’ve long been offended by not-so-godly pro football players I’ve known who showed up for pregame chapel – Sunday-only Christians rubbing the proverbial rabbit’s foot – then after victories declared it was ‘God’s will’ that their team won.” – SkipBayless

“When the NBA first resorted to it in 1979, I must admit I thought it was a circus rule, the equivalent of asking players to be shot out of cannons or swallow swords, something borrowed from the stepchild ABA with its red, white, and blue basketballs. A 3-point line? The beautiful game of basketball didn’t need a clown shot.” – SkipBayless
