Skip Bayless is an Idiot

This probably doesn't even merit a post, but I had to do it. Yesterday I came across this story posted by the Herald that referenced a comment made by ESPN's Skip Bayless regarding Dwyane's health:

''He's gained 20 pounds,'' Bayless said. ``Maybe some of it's muscle, maybe some of it's not. But he has lost his explosion.''
I've watched Cold Pizza and First Take enough to know Bayless is full of it most of the time. I don't understand why ESPN continues to put out these talking head shows where people are forced to cover all sports on a national scope. Having guys who can be knowledgable about that many things is quite rare. Instead the result is the typical uninformed and biased nonsense we get out of the mouths of Bayless and Tim Cowlishaw.

If Wade has lost a step or his "explosion", Skip, it's probably because he is playing on two bad knees, a bad shin, and is trying to drive to the hoop with two bad shoulders. If he's put on some weight, there is no way it's 20 pounds, at least not since last season. If anything, the reason he looks like he has added weight is because he has had to carry this damn team on his back the entire season.

Skip Bayless is the worst anaylist/journalist (if you can call him those two things) that ESPN has employed in front of cameras. That guy argues over everything and doesn't have one once of intellegence in his body. He doesn't know squat about wade or his health problems.
