SportsFilter: The Tuesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
I love it when old media morons forget that the internet remembers EVERYTHING they've said.

The only prayer I ever offer up these days is a plea that Skip's brother isn't nearly the db that he is. I get a slight db vibe from Rick with his cooking show, but it's excusable as he has a real, tangible skill in life. Plus, he has his daughter on his show. Maybe one day I'll have my own TV show in which I work with my daughter.

Bayless is now on record as claiming that Manziel is an alcoholic and needs help. Whether or not it's true, when you find yourself measured by that caliber of yardstick, your life has sunk to a new low. It's like having Manson tell people you're delusional. And need help (that's my favorite part).

"Biggest Play of the Year"
Neither of those videos are available in "my" country. Please describe them in text, using your best Skip Bayless tweet impression.

They don't talk, so I think you can watch PBS with a clear conscience: "Among the most well-known siblings on television, Skip and Rick Bayless have virtually no relationship today.".

First video: "US women hit the post in last two minutes. Doesn't matter, they're still going to beat Canada."
Second video: "Canadian women win Olympic gold medal. Just like I predicted!"

Stay classy, Skip.
