Jalen Rose Called Out Skip Bayless On His Made Up High School Basketball Accomplishments on First Take
Yesterday, everyone took great delight in calling out Bayless on his bullshit tales of athletic glory. Today, Jalen Rose called Bayless out on his sad athletic “accomplishments” on First Take. Bayless tries to deflect before admitting that he played junior varsity as a junior and didn’t exactly light it up during his senior year. It was awkward and wonderful.
I would provide a higher quality video for you, but a camera phone video is about all First Take deserves. Remember, Skip Bayless is at a severe disadvantage in any argument because no one outside his family likes him. Even then, none of his family members have ever actually gone on record as saying they like Skip. At least he’ll always have his teammates.

“Water Pistol Pete Junior”. Classic.
Nice get, CRM.

That’s the most I’ve ever watched of “First Take” and now I’m going to waterboard myself.

Had a feeling Cursedcleveland had to be a blood relative to explain his defense of that television disease
April 10th, 2012 at 2:57 PM
I was surprised TBL (site, not the person) ran something on this yesterday. Then I saw SBB doing something on it, too. Is Bayless that big of a deal? Is this (non) story really a big deal?

So basically he sat around and bitched courtside, that seems to have translated well for him.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:00 PM
Funny.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:00 PM
Bayless is reviled by pretty much everyone, especially the Internet. Anytime anyone can get a legit burn on the guy other than “he’s a fucking dickface” then we should all take it.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:01 PM
In his mind, yes.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:03 PM
This reminds me I have to get a torta from his brother next time I’m in Chicago.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:03 PM
can we call jalen rose out on his made up college basketball accomplishments?
/cant find a record of em
April 10th, 2012 at 3:05 PM
That was awesome.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:05 PM
There seemed to be real heat there between Bayless and Rose. I thought Rose was gonna choke a bitch like Don Draper or Wayne Brady.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:05 PM
I make the avocado ice cream almost every week.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:05 PM
Just confirms that Skip is a Delta Bravo.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:05 PM
I was getting a good laugh out of it.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:06 PM
Is Bayless that big of a deal? Is this (non) story really a big deal?
Six or so years ago, sportsblogs were built on posts about Skip Bayless. And then most of them crumbled because they couldn’t get beyond bashing ESPN personalities.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:06 PM
Love Tom Haverford. Aziz stand up? Not so much.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:07 PM
Bayless has been at ESPN for 6-7 years? I honestly had no idea it has been that long.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:08 PM

Agreed. It didn’t seem to be contrived at all which is astounding. Granted, I haven’t watched a non-sports event show on ESPN in about 10 years (except for the 30/30s), but I was surprised that part wasn’t scripted.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:08 PM
I’m now questioning the truthfulness of CRM’s Ultimate Tazer Ball success stories
April 10th, 2012 at 3:08 PM
Some still thrive using such tactics on CCMs.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:09 PM
When does Skip Bayless get a TBL profile? Jason hung out with Cowherd in an office while the latter wore a Puma sweatsuit and cried. I wonder if Jason and Skip will do interview time by the dumbbells.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:09 PM

He’s been on around the horn forever. Not sure when Cold Pizza started up.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:10 PM
bummer for you.
Husker, did you see his interview on Fallon from, like, a week ago? When he talked about getting to meet Obama?
April 10th, 2012 at 3:10 PM
I watched Cold Pizza all the time listening to his bullshit during Freshmen year, which was 6 years ago. Those were the bad times.

aziz’s thing from his first stand up about cousin harris on facebook was HYSTERICAL. only louis ck has made me lauhg that hard.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:12 PM
I did not. Link?
April 10th, 2012 at 3:13 PM
I’ve virtually memorized all Louis CK standups. Best one right now.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:14 PM
Well done Jalen, well done.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:15 PM
His bit about other people’s children is fantastic, as is his bit about being impatient on flights or with cell phones.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:17 PM
Husker, here you go.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:17 PM
a gay person isn’t a faggot, people who say “people from phoenix are phoenicians” are. you just want to say to them “stop being a faggot and suck that dick.”
April 10th, 2012 at 3:18 PM
I’d say it was the blurst of times as well.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:19 PM
I think people just don’t like Skip. I wonder why that might be.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:19 PM
Dammit – just saw Santorum dropped out of the Presidential race. Was looking forward to him getting embarrassed in his home state of PA again.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:19 PM
SBB was a very satisfying unfollow, even moreso than TBL.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:21 PM
I’d watch if Troy Aikman was ever on to debate Skip about whether or not the former is a fan of pussy
April 10th, 2012 at 3:22 PM
Im the only person in the world who doesnt ‘get’ him. I think he’s depressing and not…funny, at all.

His one on modern medicine and his ankle.
I ask the doctor what I can do to make my ankle better.
“Oh I don’t know….stretch.”
“How long do I have to stretch it until it gets better?”
“No, that’s just something you do now, you stretch your ankle.”

he’s like that dwyane wade of my twitter feed. Unfollow him 7 times, follow him 8.

How about this: fuck maraschino cherries. Get that fucking vile shit off my sundae.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:26 PM
“The other day my 5 year old got me sick when she coughed in my mouth while telling me a secret. Who tells a secret in someone’s mouth? The just stupid, borderline retarded if you ask me.”

Blasphemer.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:27 PM
How about this: fuck maraschino cherries. Get that fucking vile shit off my sundae.
Seconded. They are just the worst, sugary, syrupy things out there.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:28 PM
When I was a very chubby pre-teen, I used to eat maraschino cherries straight from the jar.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:29 PM
It makes me so angry, because regular fresh cherries are soo good tasting
April 10th, 2012 at 3:29 PM
Found it. Much funnier than what I wrote.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:30 PM
When I was a very chubby pre-teen, I used to eat maraschino cherries straight from the jar.
I once stole a little square silver wrapped candy from my grandmother’s fridge, and snuck somewhere safe to eat it. It was bullion.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:30 PM
I agree to a point. I have seen some of his stuff and laughed really hard but other times he starts going on and on about how miserable he is or how much he hates being married that he just loses me.
I also think a lot of Tosh’s standup is offensive and unfunny.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:30 PM
sundae topping should be nothing more than chocolate fudge, rainbow sprinkles, jimmies, carmel sauce, butterscotch sauce, marshmallow, whipped creame. allowances made for peanut butter toppings/sauce.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:31 PM
Are they even real cherries? Regular cherries already taste good. They don’t need to be “maraschino’d” or whatever the fuck process is used to make them.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:32 PM
I don’t even know what the fuck a maraschino cherry is.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:32 PM
About a month away from cherry season.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:33 PM
Sure you don’t want to add anything on top there, fatty?
April 10th, 2012 at 3:33 PM
Is Tosh still “a thing”? Honest question. He seemed all the rage a couple of years back and not so much anymore.
I just never found him all that funny.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:33 PM
WHY AREN’T MY SWEDISH FISH COVERED IN GRAVY?
April 10th, 2012 at 3:33 PM
i thought he was kind of funny for a while, then he just fell into andy samberg-punch-in-the-face-until-you-break-your-hands category.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:33 PM
fuck maraschino cherries
Well if you are too stupid to be wasting them on sundaes and not putting them in manhattans, you are the idiot.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:33 PM
Oh, he’s absolutely a vile person. I think his show is getting worse and he tries to hard to shock people.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:34 PM
I feel as if I once did something similar. “These caramels taste like shit.” seems to ring a bell.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:34 PM
nah, the diabetes is at the bottom of the bowl.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:35 PM
and on about how miserable he is or how much he hates being married that he just loses me.
he’s divorced now, and equally miserable.
I also think a lot of Tosh’s standup is offensive and unfunny.
intentionally, and I second this.

Can we agree tomatoes are delicious. I’ll cut up 4, throw salt and pepper and those bitches and have a party. I can also eat cherry tomatoes like their skittles. It’s nice because I don’t have to sort them by color before eating either.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:36 PM
I think his show is getting worse
they showed a woman crap at a grocery store, in the aisle, and then walk away like her ass needed no wiping. That was gross.
Plus, there’s a lot of horrifying injuries.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:37 PM
According to wikipedia, a maraschino cherry is a cherry that has been preserved in a brine solution usually containing sulfur dioxide and calcium chloride to bleach the fruit, then soaked in a suspension of food coloring (common red food dye, FD&C Red 40), sugar syrup, and other components. SOUNDS DELICIOUS.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:38 PM
delicious? yes. do i eat them raw? no…it’s a texture thing. makes me wanna vomit.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:38 PM
Those sound like ingredients drug dealers cut street drugs with.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:39 PM
I have rings of fresh pineapple marinating in dark rum, vanilla, and brown sugar right now for tonights grilling action. Scoops of homemade vanilla ice cream to be heaped upon said pineapple.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:39 PM
Nothing better than a perfectly ripe, juicy tomato.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:39 PM
They used to be soaked in liqueur, but then you fatty sundae people saturated the demand for them and now they aint so good.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:39 PM
I don’t think CK’s nearly as miserable as his act portrays, he’s playing a character of sorts and one that’s completely awesome
April 10th, 2012 at 3:40 PM
do i eat them raw? no…it’s a texture thing. makes me wanna vomit.
that’s me with onions. And I have a real hard time with green bell pepper, the first bite. I get the willies. I can eat it, no problem, but the first bite skeeves me out.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:40 PM

put them in a sauce. sliced tomatoes raw is nasty
April 10th, 2012 at 3:40 PM
Long term forecast is favorable, garden is going in this weekend!

I love all tomatoes in all forms except for sun-dried. Sun-dried tomatoes are disgusting.

Here’s the tip and Scott Van Pelt tips it back to Skip Bayless, todays starting point guard for Team ESPN. Bayless twirls the ball around his back and dribbles up the floor. As he crosses the half-court line he points his index finger in the air and whirls it around, calling a play…when, wow, look at those hands, J-Mac, the standout guard for Team TBL, knocks the ball loose for a steal. Jason is all alone for a layup on the other end…and…oh my goodness! He bricked the layup. Hit the bottom side of the rim! Stuart Scott, who hustled back on defense, grabs the rebound and looks up the floor, now turns and looks, well, where is he looking? Oh and he’s thrown it out of bounds. Down an adjacent hallway. TBL’s ball.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:41 PM
Damn. There isn’t much better in this world than a perfect summer tomato with some kosher salt, cracked pepper and a dash of balsamic vinegar.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:41 PM
Im assuming all these fruits and vegetable comments are all sex euphemisms, like some sordid twist on last Friday’s sex term AM Roundup.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:41 PM
That sounds awesome.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:41 PM
Exactly. I love tomato based products…salsa, ketchup, marinara…but without a food prep guy, I’d starve on Tomato Island.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:41 PM
I can’t wait till he gets cancer and his comedy gets even more edgy.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:42 PM
Yes! Tomatoes, peppers, & zucchini here.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:42 PM

April 10th, 2012 at 3:49 PM
Yes. I hate cilantro and I love Castro.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:50 PM
“pretending” to be incredibly miserable and severely depressed isn’t funny to me. Sorry.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:50 PM
For the CLE folk, try the Caprese salad at Guarinos in Little Italy. Best salad.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:50 PM
Exactly right. Best salad you can have in the summer. You get the creaminess from the cheese, the bright acidity from the vinegar and the refreshing cut form the basil.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:51 PM
Good stuff Ritty.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:51 PM
Maybe that’s why I find Richard Lewis so funny. I don’t think he’s pretending.
Saw him do a show in SF about three years ago, and I think he was looped out of his gourd.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:52 PM
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a show about people pretending to be miserable and I think it’s great…different strokes and all that I suppose
April 10th, 2012 at 3:54 PM
I love the caprese salad at Olive Garden.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:54 PM
Who’s miserable on that show? Maybe the waitress. The rest are having a grand ole time.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:55 PM
I don’t think the gang from Always Sunny and Louis CK are at all similar.
April 10th, 2012 at 3:56 PM
I view it as they lie to themselves and that added layer of sadness makes it funnier (other than Frank, I think he really enjoys life)…Sweet Dee is aware she’s pathetic, Charlie knows the score and Dennis is a ball of insecurity
April 10th, 2012 at 3:57 PM
I love the caprese salad at Olive Garden.
Take this crap to the Eat Beat in Grand Forks.
April 10th, 2012 at 4:11 PM
The only episodes of Sunny I’ve ever seen were about the two guys chasing the ham in the ocean, and the terrorist. They were effin’ hilarious. Don’t know why I don’t add it to my rotation.
April 10th, 2012 at 4:12 PM

Definitely worth starting from the beginning, I’d assume the DVDs of those early seasons can be had for pretty cheap now
April 10th, 2012 at 4:13 PM
Take your regular old cherries, pit them, and store them in a mason jarcovered with bourbon. You end up with cherries that taste like bourbon, and bourbon that tastes like cherries.
April 10th, 2012 at 4:14 PM
Think its on netflix and amazon now, too.
