Dumbest NBA Finals Tweet of the Night Belongs to This Assclown at ESPN
All, ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings, Twitter June 13th. 2012, 12:01pm
As the fraud’s TV ratings tank and colleagues like Scott Van Pelt and Colin Cowherd take subtle shots at him on twitter, one can only hope that the new decision-maker in Bristol, John Wildhack, does the right thing when the time is necessary.

To be fair, I’m sure there were much much dumber tweets regarding the Finals last night. You just weren’t made aware of them.
June 13th, 2012 at 12:05 PM
awesome
June 13th, 2012 at 12:06 PM
Isn’t getting outraged over something Skip Bayless says sort of the same thing as getting outraged over something that Michelle Malkin or Ann Coulter say?
June 13th, 2012 at 12:08 PM
I dunno, I thought this tweet was pretty dumb:
Jason McIntyre @TheBigLead
NFL & NBA ratings soar after lockouts. Perhaps Selig should entertain another lockout. World Series ratings down last year
June 13th, 2012 at 12:09 PM
For all of your “never heard of this guy” tweets, your website sure does post a shit load about Mr. Bayless. Troll envy?
June 13th, 2012 at 12:09 PM
Jason McIntyre @TheBigLead

That is stunning logic.
June 13th, 2012 at 12:09 PM
Yup, CJ. That is definitely a dumb thing to tweet.
June 13th, 2012 at 12:09 PM
This. The only way ESPN gets rid of this buffoon is if people just stop paying attention to him altogether.
June 13th, 2012 at 12:10 PM

lets no pretend that Scott Van Pelt is any better than Skip Bayless…..
June 13th, 2012 at 12:16 PM
Skip’s a moron, but why are we so quick to crown LeBron over Durant? Durant scores more, he rebounds more, he shoots 3′s and FT’s at a better clip. LeBron is definitely the better defender and gets more assists, and trumps Durant in some advanced metrics like PER and Win Shares, but it’s not by so much that the question is just silly.
The question that this kind of argument usually boils down to is “If you were starting a team from scratch, who would you take?”, and considering the LeBron baggage/media thing, and the fact that Durant has 4 years on him….I think I would take Durant.
June 13th, 2012 at 12:16 PM

Grow a pair and say “shitcans that asshat when the ratings keep dropping” or “doesn’t renew his contract when it’s up”. This vagueness reeks of a guy who is afraid of pissing off someone who they may work for/with one day.
And yes, that is a terribly moronic thing to say, even for Skip’s standards. However, he is doing it….wait for it…because his ratings are slipping and he has to move the needle somehow.

True, but there’s nothing better than businesses that “get” Twitter.

Oh good! Something to join the candlesticks on the mantel in Barbie’s Dreamhouse.

that’s true as well, it goes hand in hand with those meetings where the social media director comes in to do his presentation and what we need to do on our part.
since all the social media sites are blocked at work, they asked us to spend our free time at home searching for mentions about our company and hitting “+1″, “Like”, or re-tweet them.
the look of being in a no-win situation on his face was kind of sad knowing none of us would do that.

Ridiculous.

yep. the fun part was when he said “liking it on facebook will let all your friends know what we’re doing with the cloud!” and someone asked why they would do that to their friends and he had no answer.

I loved the year 1998 too.

I don’t have a smartphone or smartphone equivalent. I’ve got a cheap ass phone.

I was watching season 1 of 24 on Amazon Prime and they had some sweet as phones then, and that was only 2002. I especially liked the President’s phone that he had to pull the antenna out of.

who? never heard of him. so no.
June 13th, 2012 at 1:20 PM
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
June 13th, 2012 at 1:20 PM

I’m floored. You have a social media director at a company that bans social media sites.

You should do this on twitter, and immediately re-tweet something from Bibi Jones fondling herself.
That would likely be the last time you’re ever asked to do that again.

Wants vs Needs, dude.
You can justify the cost of your phone and data plan for your job and write it off. If could do that, it would be worth the extra money.

If you had a cheap assclown phone, you could call Skip Bayless!

Did the look of “I’m breaking federal laws by asking you to work in your off-time” also cross his face?
June 13th, 2012 at 1:25 PM
Nah, let’s start now.

Sadly, I’m not surprised. Some pages of our internal website generate “unsafe” warnings, asking me if I’m familiar with the site and if I want to continue. Tends to happen when the people designing the protection software don’t talk to the people designing the site.
June 13th, 2012 at 1:26 PM
Wants vs Needs, dude.
I don’t even want one, although I figure I better get one or I’ll be so far behind on the technology that it’ll be like an old guy trying to set up a Facespace page.
If you had a cheap assclown phone, you could call Skip Bayless!
We have come full circle!

I did just read that the Iphone is going to Sprint and Virgin Mobile on their prepaid plans. Could get a decent plan for $40 a month, would just have to pay for the phone. I think that would be worth it in the long run.
June 13th, 2012 at 1:28 PM
But where do you park them? Not on the street, I hope.
June 13th, 2012 at 1:29 PM

I don’t know if that’s true. Isn’t the phone like $700? You’d have to stick with that same phone for a while to make that worth it.

It is interesting. I wonder what how much data comes with that, and how long it would last?
June 13th, 2012 at 1:33 PM
I like how Verizon just decided to bugger all its wireles customers in the bunghole beginning next month.
Such things are why I do not enslave myself to a phone contract.
June 13th, 2012 at 1:34 PM
SmartPhones come in handy for lots of things. You just like being the guy that hasn’t jumped on the smartphone band wagon like everyone else.
June 13th, 2012 at 1:34 PM
Interesting article about it. IPhone 4s is $649, but you still have to pay $200 for it on a regular plan. So for that extra $449, they break it down that you save $1000 over a 2 year period being on the prepaid plan.

That definitely describes my husband, but for me I havent been able to justify the cost when it really doesnt come up that much where I need to get online in a place that doesnt have wifi. More and more bars/restaurants are getting wifi, so my Ipod touch does just fine.
June 13th, 2012 at 1:37 PM
No, I like being the guy who puts a hundred dollars a month into his son’s college fund rather than blowing it on a phone just so I can tell people how much I hate waiting in line at the store.
June 13th, 2012 at 1:42 PM
Bought a used Iphone for $50, use pub wifi, work wifi or apartment.
$0 monthly does not hurt my need for a constant stream of whiskey.

Joining Team SmartPhone a couple weeks back has been educational…I never understood the true value of life until realizing I was an hour closer to death having spent it playing Angry Birds in Space
June 13th, 2012 at 2:05 PM
So are some of you telling me you don’t have access to your work email via phone? I didn’t know that was still possible. It’s basically essential.
June 13th, 2012 at 2:08 PM
Via my Ipod touch. But I completely disconnect from work when I leave most days.
