Totally Unreadable

[Chuck to Chuck]

Some day Skip Bayless will die and he will have accomplished nothing in life and no one will care that he's dead. 

But he'll have lived in luxury financed by our cable TV fees even if we don't give him the time of day.  He who dies with the most toys wins.

For lots of people, yes. 

But not for Skip.

He's a guy who has built his entire career on "shock and awe" and there's nothing we can do better than to not give a shit. 

Skip Bayless should be the poster child for a la carte cable television.

That one Tebow guy on Twitter will always care what Skip thinks, I bet.

You should start a Skip Bayless blog and then not blog on it. That'd really burn him, just sittin' there every day, wonderin' when you'll post next.

I've always praised and defended your physical toughness. But your mental toughness ... I suspect you played so beautifully -- dare I say so patiently -- against the 49ers because you felt little to no pressure. Nobody expected you to win that game.

In your career, you've played in all of two playoff games. You won one at home and played little more than a half of that 2010 season's NFC Championship Game at home against archrival Green Bay. That was the turning point moment in which you asked out of the game because you said you could no longer plant and throw on an injured knee (later reported to be a sprained ligament), even though you pedaled an exercise bike on the sideline.

But maybe I missed the point. Maybe this had nothing to do with pain threshold and everything to do with self-belief. Maybe you didn't trust yourself enough to lead your team back against Aaron Rodgers and a 14-0 halftime deficit you helped create with an interception. Maybe you hid behind a knee that no doubt was hurt ... but so much so it kept you from the greatest opportunity of your career and a moment you might never again know?

Skip Bayless wrote something troll-y?  You don't say.

....yeah, that's why I called it expert level trolling

...and that's why I'm wondering how you anyone could read the words "Skip Bayless" and keep reading anyway

Because I wanted to see if he demonstrated his argument through sophistry, natch.

Cutler said he couldn't plant his foot.  In other words he couldn't put his weight on it.  Yet he could ride an exercise bike on the sidelines.  Did anyone point out that exercise bikes are non-weight bearing?  What is the inconsistency?

In my defense it's been a few years since I sought it out. My rep is established enough people bring it to my attention to enjoy the subsequent explosion

Stew, it's the "Totally Unreadable" thread.

Also it's Skip Bayless.
