i hate seeing the Heat win, but it leading to Mark Cuban destroying Skip Bayless on ESPN makes it much better.
I missed this!?
i'm no skip bayless fan, so kudos to cuban for making him look stupid, but at the same time, cuban fails to understand that it's a sportswriter's job to bring a storytelling element to sports so it's not just X and O's and statistics. maybe bayless isn't the best at it, but to create heroes and villains, plot lines, etc., generalizations, assumptions, and overlooking the finer points of the game is often necessary.

somebody is watching that show and keeping it on. I know people are talking about it, but I don't get who is watching Bayless everyday, it's like Limbaugh's audience to me. It's not that entertaining, I'm not sure why people are so enthralled.

I had to stop watching ESPN during the finals. It's getting to the point that I can't watch any of thier shows with talking heads. My favorite remains NFL matchup but that's almost never on.
