Mark Cuban Destroys Skip Bayless on 'First Take' (Video)

I have made my fair share of "Skip Bayless is a Douche" posts on this site. I even posted 10 videos of him being a douche bag earlier this month...hell, I even compared him to Glenn Beck.

ESPN's "First Take" is usually broadcast out of a studio in Bristol, Connecticut, but the show traveled to Miami for the NBA Finals. So it was easy to get Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban as a guest on the show.

"First Take" is usually a decibel battle between Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless. I hear they play the show to torture inmates at Guantanamo Bay, but that is beside the point.

Cuban absolutely destroys Bayless for making blanket statements and speaking in generalities when he bashes players. The video is amazing and quite possibly my favorite video of someone calling out Skip Bayless.

The video is after the jump...

Let me know if this video gets taken down...I'm sure ESPN will do that very soon.

10 Videos of Skip Bayless Being a 'Douchebag'

Over the last three years, I have written three separate posts about Skip Bayless. I believe that he is the Glenn Beck of ESPN and I am proud to have went on a rant about it on this blog.

YouTube is full of Skip Bayless videos of him doing Skip Bayless things. He plays the role of devil's advocate and makes empty opinions about polarizing athletes. He was once a very respected journalist, but he has turned into a 'talking head' on a television show where the loudest person wins the argument. When he shares the debate desk with Stephen A. Smith on "First Take", I instantly change the channel and watch some "Party of Five" re-runs on Lifetime.

Here are 10 videos of Skip Bayless being a douchebag.

Skip Bayless Is "The Glenn Beck Of ESPN"

I was unfortunate this morning and flipped the channel to ESPN's "First Take." I was lucky enough to only deal with a few moments of Skip Bayless trolling America. He is one of the reasons why ESPN programming is no longer viewed as being elite. Bayless drains an ounce of what's left of their journalist integrity every day that he is on the air. Can a write-in campaign stop his madness? Here's some of what I witnessed today and why ESPN needs to get rid of Skip Bayless.

The few moments that I witnessed of today's show blew my mind. It wasn't the kind of mind-blowing television that I enjoy, it blew my mind that someone can make such stupid uninformative opinions on a mainstream outlet. The single thing that he said was that "the best place for Tim Tebow is Cleveland. Bayless added, "he would flourish there because they don't have any decent quarterbacks on their roster." Lets analyze this insane comment and dissect it.

First, he believes that Tebow has a shot in Cleveland. If you look at the Browns roster, they lack a running game and have been adding parts in their receiving corps for the last few season. Greg Little has a shot at being an elite wide receiver, but not with Tebow at quarterback. I understand that Colt McCoy isn't the long-term answer there, but Tebow would be taking a step backward. Also, the Browns have two first-rounds picks this year, their early pick won't likely be a QB, but there will a few nice options with their later pick. Ryan Tennehill may still be available or they could trade down, gain some other picks, and pick either Brandon Weeden, Brock Osweiler, or Kirk Cousins.

Secondly, he's assuming that Tim Tebow is more than a system quarterback. John Fox helped design a system that fit Tebow's strengths. They relied on their defense to generate favorable field position, which the Browns currently lack. The Broncos would be asking for a high draft pick for Tebow, which I don't see that happening.

I know that Skip Bayless says nothing but contrarian statements in hopes of drawing ratings. From all accounts from people who have met him, they have nothing but positive things to say about his personality. It sounds like the exact same thing that you hear about Glenn Beck. They both go on television & radio and say things to cause a stir. Once the microphone is off, they put their characters away and become sane people.

I don't agree with ESPN changing their "First Take" format. I don't enjoy hearing Stephen A. Smith yell over Skip Bayless for a few hours. ESPN needs more programming like "Outside The Lines," "E:60," & "The Sports Reporters." I understand that those shows aren't exactly ratings monsters, but they need more of those shows to bolster their image. I'm saying that ESPN should feature a guy like Bob Ley over Colin Cowherd (no offense Michelle Beadle, you're still my girl).

I don't want "First Take" very often, because it just raises my blood pressure. More sports radio shows are getting their own morning/afternoon television shows, so there are more options to watch. I'm a big fan of "The Dan Patrick Show" and have been a listener since before they took the show to DirecTV. I would rather hear a guy be honest, who tells both sides of the story, and have guests on who are knowledgeable about specific topics (Chris Mannix, Bruce Feldman, Tony Dungy, etc). Don't even get me started on "Mike & Mike In the Morning," that is an entirely different post.

Everybody Still Hates Skip Bayless

I have written about Skip Bayless in the past and my opinion of him has not changed. I think he's overly-opinionated, takes stands on issues that is purposely against the minority, and he's a pompous jerk. This week we are "lucky" to have Stephen A. Smith as Skip's opponent on ESPN's 1st and 10. Having Stephen A. and Skip on the same show is like having the Iron Sheik vs. Nikita Koloff going against each other. Sorry to reference an old-school WWF reference to describe the scenario, but it fits. I don't like either of these guys and I really want Skip and Stephen A. end up hitting each other with a steel chair.

Today's episode was insane. Skip screamed for the first 15 minutes and then tagged Stephen A. in and he screamed for the rest of the show. I can't imagine these guys eating dinner with each other, they would have to put them in their own food and give each other riot masks to protect themselves against flying spit. The highlight of the show was when they got in a heated argument against and for Brett Favre in New York. I will DV-R the episodes on Tuesday and Wednesday in hopes of Stephen A. finally pulling out a folding table and sending Skip through it via Powerbomb.

Here is an old clip of the two going at it, I hope it gives you an idea of how insane it is to have both of these guys on the same show. You may need earplugs, the decibels alone could do some ear damage.
