Uhhh it kinda gets old after 3 straight weeks, that's basically the point. And you contradicted yourself there, stating that discussion has been going on for the past 3 weeks then whining about how that doesn't happen here?
I thought it was a very funny article. Extragerated yes. But I think it is a good deal of truth to it. Does anyone seriously believe that, with a man as calculating as Barry, there was no thought put into the Barry Sanders jersey or his shameless use of his kid as a prop.

Bayless is not racist, he is just a jerk who writes and comments specifically to provoke controversy. It is one reason he is such a nomad. I lost any respect I might ever had for him back when he was in Dallas. I lived there at the time, and he devoted a whole column to the "fact" that Scott Hamilton must be gay because he is a figure skater. It was garbage, which is all Bayless has ever been capable of. People like him and Rome are nothing more than the Rush Limbaugh's of sports reporters.
I remember when Skip Bayless had a column in the Chicago Tribune. It was just a little side bar that ran for the length of the page on the front of the sports section. It was hilarious and I thought he was great at that point. However, I have read several of his recent pieces now that he is writing for ESPN and I really don't like him anymore. I also don't like him on First and 10, a show i watch on occasion.
Leyland said, "We thought we were getting a hell of a player, but Neifi simply did not perform well."
Tabloid reporters have more credibilty than Skip Bayless.
the fact that ESPN even gives him a paycheck, diminishes ESPN's credabilty that much more in my book.
