Skip Bayless decided it was time to talk about himself after Bills safety Damar Hamlin was injured and an ambulance was sent to Cincinnati to take him to the hospital. This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular season outcome. It was less than an hour after Hamlin collapsed. The league suspended play for the night.
Bayless has had tons of horrible, tone-deaf takes over the years, not to mention a recent one where co- host Shannon Sharpe showed great restraint by not jumping across the table and smacking him. Someone's life is hanging in the balance with this. Hamlin was in critical condition, according to the latest update from the league. Hamlin was intubated, according to a new anchor.
Compare the approach of Bayless with that of the other three people. They kept their distance from speculation and over-analyzing the angle of Hamlin's impact. The only correct take on this situation is that football is unimportant until we know Hamlin's condition. A former player gives great perspective from a former player. He described the emotions of a person who was in the trenches. He handled himself well when it mattered, even though he wasn't perfect at times. Bayless couldn't have that level of decency.
He tried to get it back.
Skip Bayless had a tasteless message.
