Terrell Suggs Calls Skip Bayless A ‘Douchebag’ On ESPN’s First Take (VIDEO)
January 24, 2012 3 CommentsTell him how you really feel, Terrell.
During an episode of ESPN’s “First Take” on Monday morning, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was on the phone speaking with host Skip Bayless about his team’s loss to New England in the AFC Championship Game. As is often the case in a conversation involving either Suggs or Bayless, things got a little bit heated. Bayless suggested that Suggs was trying to conjure up excuses for the loss — such as the confusion on the scoreboard over down and distance late in the game — which rubbed the Pro Bowl linebacker the wrong way. Bayless seemed to be pushing Suggs toward claiming that the Patriots had intentionally misled them. Suggs was not interested in being drawn into such a claim.
“No. I’m not saying that. Skip, stop that — I know what you’re doing,” Suggs said calmly, to which Bayless shot back that he was only repeating what he thought the linebacker had said (which was clearly far from the truth). Suggs then continued after explaining what he meant. “So Skip, once again, stop it. Be an analyst. Don’t be a douchebag. You know what I mean.”
Bayless recoiled at the insult and told Suggs to watch his language. Should Suggs apologize for the comment, or do you think the traditionally outspoken Bayless got what he deserved?

This certainly isn’t the first time Bayless has gotten under an athlete’s skin, with Charles Barkley recently going so far as claiming he hates him “more than any person in the world.”
The exchange added another chapter to what has been a ongoing feud between Bayless and Suggs, which included the analyst calling out the Ravens’ star live on air before debating him on the show the next day.

Bayless is one of those non-athletic dorks who got hold of a microphone. He’s like a less intelligent Howard Cosell. He has inexplicably mocked the Ravens admirable effort and intensity this season and is now gloating over something he had no part of – the Patriots narrow win. Bayless needs to come to a sports bar here in Baltimroe and spout his nerdy sarcasm if he had any cajones- whiche he lacks I am sure – instead hiding in that studio. Why are ESPN’s second- tier talking heads such geeks?
T-Sizzle isn’t saying anything that we all haven’t been thinking about Skip Bayless for years. All Skip does is provoke people by making foolish contrarian statements that have zero basis in fact. If I were able to tell Skip that he was a deutschebank to his face, I would too. Well done, Terrell Suggs!
skip is a D**k seriously. He annoys the hell out of me when he speaks..Good job Suggs
