Brandon (State College, PA)

If you ever get tired of objective reporting watch Skip.

dana

  (10:11 AM)

brandon, skip is reporting, he's being a commentator which means opinion. As far as I know opinion always is subjective in some way.

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

I knew it...Excuses for Cutler...I knew it...I'm sure all 17 picks this year were someone elses fault

mendy (okla.)

Skip what I saw last night was cutler forgetting what team he was throwing to.

Reischea

  (10:12 AM)

Happy Friday everyone. As I've said in the past, if today is not your Friday, my apologies. But keep your head up... your weekend surely is nearing!

dana

  (10:12 AM)

mendy i agree with skip that 2 of those picks were on him BUT i disagree that he was under major pressure. his line isn't good but he takes some of this blame. he does need more around him

Daniel (Kentucky)

my colts are fixin to gunsmoke them pats

Mike (Syracuse, NY)

What's up Dana!

dana

  (10:13 AM)

hey mike

Loopy (usa)

I wonder how many Gator fans are glad that Nu'Keese Richardson didn't sign with them now. My friend was ecstatic.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Cutler's favorite pastry: The turnover.

john (panama city bch, fl)

LMAO- Varejao sent a message last night- go with what you know... he shoulda "FLOPPED"

Umor (Detroit)

I agree with kenny smith, you double team the stars of the other team. Lebron and Wade gonna get their points. Double team them and let the other players beat ya.

Bag On Skins Fans Head (Wilmington NC)

My heart is rooting for the Colts, but my head thinks the Pats will prevail

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Skip will be resigning from First take to take the job of Jay Cutler's Public Relations specialist...With Cutler's big contract he can afford to keep him in Mountain Dew

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

Colts all!!

Chris (Boston)

Cutler was running for his life last night. Just b/c he didn't have any sacks on him doesn't mean there wasn't any pressure.

mendy (okla.)

Jay love the jazzy tie.

Champ (Bmore)

Hey Reischea ;)

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

mornin everyone big weekend for cincy football

Africa (Brooklyn)

Ok, I kno people like the Pats-Colts games but considering they are not in the same division, why have they played each other 7 straight years?

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

jb now thats funny

mike (Atlanta)

after watching that first and 10 i feel kind of sick. More excuses for skips boy. i don't care if there were somone else fault. Bottom line he's the first Bears QB since 1962 to throw 4+ ints in 2 games in 1 season.

Brandon (State College, PA)

I understand just sometimes I feel like he's becoming a caricature of himself.

Bernard (Augusta, Ga) [via mobile]

Does Skip still think the Suns are better than the Lakers? And if Cutler look for more than Olsen maybe he could have had a TD to go with all those picks.

Bag On Skins Fans Head (Wilmington NC)

Skip is the kind of guy viewers love to hate. This show would not be as good without Skip

Scott (Colorado Springs)

First Take, I didn't want to do this, but I have called The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus and they are sending their second string circus Monkey to replace Skip Bayless and the third string to take over for Jay Cutler. When somone does well you rip them and when someone sucks it up you defend them? Shock Value just like Chad said.

Mark (Ann Arbor)

Dana - we all know Skip loves Cutler. No matter what happened last night he was going to make excuses for him. He has always done it with him. Do you think if ELI manning had thrown 5 INT's Skip would have defended it?

Brian (Naples,fl)

Mendy- a few of his pics were his receivers fault

scott (niagara falls)

cutler is a joke

Brian (Naples,fl)

Cutler is a good QB, but he has to stop being self absorbed, and get a better o-line.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Skip will defend anyone from Vandy down to the last breath.

Chris (Boston)

Is Skip on crack? Man, calm down a little and take a breath.

Africa (Brooklyn)

Ok, can some1 tell me what happened with the chat?

colin (clifton park)

so skip says peyton manning overrated lebron james overrated, but cutlers performance rating a b+ on the yr. but last nights 5 ints not his fault. oh yeah matt forte had 40 yds rushing how about the 120 yds receiving. come on skip

Brian (SoCal)

Please Skip. Stop enabling Cutler. He needs to protect the opportunity to win the game and not throw that ball up for grabs when they had one more chance.

scott (niagara falls)

i guess my lakers brought the suns back to earth last night

Isaac Castro (Salinas, CA)

So much for Skip's B+ for Jay Cutler....

Dylan O. (Virginia)

Okay well LeBron and Wade I think will be on a team together. And possibly Bosh. If so say goodbye to the rest of the NBA for a couple of years. Aren't I right. No one can even play with them if they do it.

mendy (okla.)

Goooood morning!!! I bet there is a lot denver fans that were totally upset 10 weeks ago but are like'in life these days.

Reischea

  (10:16 AM)

How ya' doin' Champ (Bmore).

T.I. (Baltimore Md)

Chicago will not go any were with cutler he stinks so bad i could smell it when he was in Denver

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Jean-Jacques is a good analyst!

EmBEARSment (Chicago)

By DA BEARS giving up too much for Jay Cutler is Lovie Smith job on the line

Ben (Miami)

What's your take on the Pacquiao and Cotto ? Who is Skip picking in this fight ?

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

It's Friday the 13th....Jason would be a better QB than Jay Cutler

Brian (SoCal)

Lakers pounded Suns last night. Fans only upset because they didn't get their free tacos.

Deric (Belle Center OH)

Wished I would've played SanFran's defense last night in my fantasy leauge

mari (ok)

mornin guys...big weekend...gonna be good...go pats

Umor (Detroit)

MQF, Damnit Janet, Cutler threw another interception.

Ray (Arlington, VA)

Cutler gets a B+ from Skip. 'Nuff said.

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Skip must have been up all night to make his excuses for Cutler

Nathan Nevins (Gainesville, Fl)

Can we stop talking about TCU? Their best win is at clemson??? is that a joke?

Chris (Boston)

Dana just mentioned this, but as soon as I heard LeBron say that he was going to switch jersey numbers my first thought was...the NBA is loving this next year with ticket sales$$

Rhino (Springfield)

Ease up on Skip, he's right, Cutler doesn't have an offensive to worth so like the great ones he spreads the ball around, and last night he went to 7 different WR and 5 diff Defensemen, that's spreading the ball around!

Chris (Boston)

My favorite # 13 is Dan Marino

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

d wades' dunk was sick last night!!

Daniel (Kentucky)

nice segway dana lol

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

That last post from Scott looks like the same one from yesterday.

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

Bengals/Steelers - it is going to be a great game at Heinz Field. This game will prove if the Bengals are a contender.

Africa (Brooklyn)

Thank you Mark. He has his favorites

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

Caddy, I hope you are not talking about Jason Campbell. With Campbell has quarterback, we are backtracking to Halloween.

mike (Atlanta)

you wanna know why cutler was running for his life last night. He was holding on to that ball too long. Brett farve gets the ball out in less than 4 seconds. Thats what you have to do.

Young Yellaboi (ATLANTA,GA)

CUTLER LOOKED CRAPPE!

Brian (Naples,fl)

Ben-Pacquiao will dominate as always

Champ (Bmore)

Colts will lose simply because they don't run the ball enough.

scott (niagara falls)

we want woody

Guy (Jacksonville)

I would like to see some love from Skip and all the Cav's Lebron/Shaq haters, after spanking Orlando and Miami!

Mark (Ann Arbor)

LOL Caddie Mike - Its true

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

The Steelers are playing the best all around football in the NFL right now.

Chris (Boston)

Varejo got POSTERIZED last night!!

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

skip will eat his words monday morning!!!

Africa (Brooklyn)

No team can afford LeBron and D-Wade unless one takes a severe paycut. The salary cap is too low.

Mike (Toronto)

Hi Dana,I have another nickname for Kobe, "postmaster". What do you think?

john (panama city bch, fl)

I prefer Skip's commentary to Jesse Palmer's!!!

Daniel (Kentucky)

jacques stick to reporting on your cowboys don't sleep on them colts

scott (niagara falls)

somebody tell that dude the colts and pats arent even. colts are 8-0

Fred Flintstone (Bedrock)

Skip you need to get more sleep you grump old grouch.

Bag On Skins Fans Head (Wilmington NC)

Dana thanks for the Props!

Mark (Alabama)

Jay you think my Crimson Tide will stumble against Miss StateGood Morning

stacy (georgetown)

hey danaandnjay how are you today?

T.I. (Baltimore Md)

i know it early but lets get it right in the booth

Mark (Ann Arbor)

THe Bears offense is not that good. But Cutlers decision making is not good. The INT he threw on the goal line in the 2nd quarter is inexcusible.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Jay Cutler's favorite lottery game: Pick Five.

mike (Atlanta)

like reggie miller said last night varejao got his feelings hurt last night.

Daniel (Kentucky)

colts will win because they are the best team in football

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

hey bengalbill ocho said he was gonna give the steelers some ketchup..lol

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

When the season started who honestly thought that Brett Favre was going to be the best QB in the NFC North?

Young Yellaboi (ATLANTA,GA)

Y DIDNT THEY FINE DEANGELO HALL?

Champ (Bmore)

Hey Colin! That was the most bizarre statement so far today.....But that's Skip being Skip lol

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

absolutely they will beat the steelers

Pimp D (O-Town)

As soon as Culter hike the ball, a 49'er was in the backfeild

scott (niagara falls)

can my bills beat the titans this week dana

Dylan (Alaska)

not looking so good for lane kiffins first round of recruiting...

Isaac Castro (Salinas, CA)

I wish Skip was my professor...I'd be getting a B+ for everything I turned in...as long as my last name was Cutler.

john (panama city bch, fl)

Morning Mod, dana- crew and gang!

tomwit nj [via mobile]

Cutler is just not a great quarterback.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

I can't wait to see what Skip says about his boy Cutler during 1st and 10

mike m (canton oh)

jj hickson looked pretty good last night.i hope he can keep it up,he will be a big boost for the cavs

mari (ok)

seems that winning coach of the year is a bit of a curse....9 games in is a lil early

Dylan (Virginia.)

What about the Cavs. Are they playing they will the rest of the season?

Champ (Bmore)

I'm great Reischea. Thanks for asking. I'll be much better when my co-worker comes back with my Caramel Macchiato :)

john (panama city bch, fl)

I think J.B. stayed up all nite-lol

Rick (Pittsburgh)

People hate skip because skip speaks the truth flat out

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

I am shocked that Bryon Scott got fired so early in the season. The Hornets have not even played 10 games.

Daniel (Kentucky)

who cares about cutler or the bears they're insignifigant

Guy (Jacksonville)

Chicago should have kept Orton. Well at least he will get to go to the playoffs.

Brian (SoCal)

It's never Cutlers fault right. Vandy wasn't good, Broncos weren't good. Bears were good now that Cutler is there now they're no good too. Seems like a trend.

Reischea

  (10:20 AM)

What's even more sweet about that D-Wade jam... the fact that Varejao's hand was literally on his face and still couldn't deter the destiny.

MSimmer (Tempe, AZ)

Bet cutler wishes he was back in Denver where they have real recievers

Chris (Boston)

Dana, did Bag On Skins Fans Head bribe you with a cyber $1 to get that on the air???

Mark (Alabama)

Dana you like Mark Ingram for the Heisman so far ?

stacy (georgetown)

who wins on sunday dana?dallas or philly?

Brian A. (Naples,fl)

Wade is a beast...

dana

  (10:21 AM)

cant find the post now but i do know that just b/c it wasn't a high number of sacks doesn't mean cutler wasn't under pressure, i thought he had more time to throw than i've seen in previous games. unlike skip i don't watch every second of every game so i'm going off what i have seen previously. if you've seen all of the previous bears games in their entirety you'd know better than i

dana

  (10:22 AM)

scott - possible yes. these 2 teams are such inconsistent, uncertain question marks. does that make sense? neither has an identity. based on momentum alone i'd give the titans the nod..but no gage is troublesome

Loopy (usa)

I shouldn't be surprised that Chad got fined. No Fun League strikes again.

dana

  (10:22 AM)

loopy he knows he's going to get fined when he does it, he does it anyway. that's cool...because otherwise it would be the no fun league.

Isaac Castro (Salinas, CA)

Aaron Rodgers knows about sacks...not sure about Cutler

Champ (Bmore)

0 sacks last night Dana. Cutler just stink! Tell Skip I said so lol

Brian (SoCal)

Cavs find two good road wins. Maybe you have some hope Jay.

ryan (maine)

I just have to say hey Skip....go look at the tape of that game in the 99 playoffs with the Vikings, Rams!! The Vikes never had a prayer and it was NOT even close.....Know your stats before you talk!!!

dana

  (10:23 AM)

isaac, yes he does.

Umor (Detroit)

Resci, That was a L.A. game in Miami. The stars came out for LeBron to come to the Heat.

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

anyone watch rutgers wipe out south florida? that surprised me

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

The Cavs started horrible last season.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Actually all of these came to me this morning. Cutler makes it too easy to pick on him. Oh did I just mention 'Cutler' and 'pick' in the same sentence? Scary.

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

My Lakers looked tough last night...love watching Derek Fisher play...a true champion

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

how much did chad get fined did not hear that

Champ (Bmore)

Ochocinco got fined?

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

Only Skip Bayless would attempt to justify/downplay a 5 INT performance as not that bad/not the QB's fault.

jason007thomas (Huntsville,Al)

good morning everybody and happy football friday

Champ (Bmore)

I still think Melo's dunk over Millsap was better than DWade's. Not taking anything away from "Flash" though

Bernard (Augusta, Ga) [via mobile]

GUY-Lets see if they can beat L.A. Which I seriously doubt.

MSimmer (Tempe, AZ)

Mark Ingram has got to be the favorite hands down to win

Fred Flintstone (Bedrock)

Mark Ingram for the Heisman would be awesome as long as its not the ever so great Tim Tebow. He is no good just look at his numbers

Pimp D (O-Town)

Varejao needs to pick a building cause he has been posterize

Young Yellaboi (ATLANTA,GA)

DALLAS BEATS GREEN BAY 24 -10

Guy (Jacksonville)

Come-on Wade should have been called for a foulf on V>

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Not Jason Campbell, REAL FAN, Jason Voorhess from the Friday the 13th movies

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

good one reisch.

john (panama city bch, fl)

stacy...yes

Mark (Ann Arbor)

Rick - How much Kool Aid have you drank this morning?

Ray (Arlington, VA)

Byron Scott is a classic victim of a superstar's wishes getting a coach booted. CP3 got Byron canned. Too bad for the Hornets...

john (panama city bch, fl)

dana, I'm impressed with your admission. I STILL think that you're one of the best informed ppl at ESPN. Enuf luv- I STILL disagree w/ you occasionally,lol

quentin (Hayward ,Ca)

Cutler is a great Qb with help skip was right about everything he said about culter!! just need ahole lot help.

Mark (Ann Arbor)

Ryan - your right. The Rams hammered the Vikings in that divisional playoff game.

Umor (Detroit)

Byron Scott shouldn't have been fired. Way too early in the season. He can turn teams around. He's done it before.

T.I. (Baltimore Md)

whats good Dana

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

The NFL knows how to turn a $1 into $20G. Chad, thank God you didn't have a C-Note.

Brian (SoCal)

How did Chad get fined for a joke and D. hall didn't when he was involved in that big sideline jawjack?

Bag On Skins Fans Head (Wilmington NC)

Cleveland needed a few games to gel. Having Shaq inside is a different game than they have been playing, now they are getting it together

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

AI for delonte

Rajesh (Atlanta)

I don't know that it is just because it is a contract year, because these guys always seem to play hard. But man, D. Wade, Bron, and Chris Bosh are playing some high quality ball.

Reischea

  (10:25 AM)

What surprised you about it... fourth straight time Rutgers has beaten South Florida. Last year it was 49-16.

Guy (Jacksonville)

Yes the Cavs will beat the Lakers on Cristmas-day.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

I guess Lebron doesn't have any respect for Bill Russell since he's wearing #6 ;-)

mike m (canton oh)

james should change his #.the true 23 is mj

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

Add Byron Scott to the "Coaches I wish the Pistons had" list

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

how did you guys talk about the western conference and not talk about the lakers?

Mark (Alabama)

Dana who you got on your wish list for the Detroit Lions

Champ (Bmore)

Hey Ray. I was thinking the same thing because nothing else justifies his firing 9 games into the season

Pimp D (O-Town)

What about the Assitant Coach who gave Ochocinco the dollar, he should be fines too

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

My Mountaineers can't beat South Florida, South Florida can't beat Rutgers, Rutgers can't beat the Mountaineers...

jason007thomas (Huntsville,Al)

Cutler just needs an actual receiver, not an experimental #1

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

its no wonder why chad buys his bling at claires he has to save money for godells vaction home

Rick (Pittsburgh)

Why do people worry about the NBA its the most overated pro sport there is

Roller (Kentucky)

C. Paul is the most overrated player in the league

willie (topeka basement)

and thaat dunk was sick

Pimp D (O-Town)

Rajesh....don't forget Joe Johnson on that list

Champ (Bmore)

South Florida was soooo overrated this year

jamie krieg (dayton ohio)

BENGALS WILL WIN IM REALLY CONFIDENT. THE STEELER FANS ARE JUST soooo scared.

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

Hey if i knew MJ was in the stands watching me i'd go off too!!!

Morning Dana

Ty. New jersey [via mobile]

Would take wade over lebron

Demetric (Orlando)

Skip, has a point, Leborn might be buddies with, Wade, but he did his teammate wrong and if he wants a title now, he would need Varioyao on the same page

Rajesh (Atlanta)

It seems like just yesterday when the Hornets signed James Posey that everyone said that might be their piece to the championship puzzle...what a turn around for the worse.

Rick (Pittsburgh)

id take wade over anybody and woody paige needs to come back full time

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I think it's fine that LeBron wants to pay tribute to MJ but there is no reason no one should ever wear #23 in the NBA again. LeBron called MJ a pioneer. Really? What did he pioneer in basketball?

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Lebron cares more about being one of the "cool kids" than taking up for his teammate.

Manny (Harrisburg Pa)

Wades is a beast

mike (Atlanta)

of course. OF COURSE. a question about dwayne wade and skip goes right the the bashing of lebron james. Gonna mute my TV real quick.

willie (topeka basement)

miami has cap room

scott (niagara falls)

the steelers are going to wax the bengals

MSimmer (Tempe, AZ)

hey ryan(maine) that game was a complete shoot out both qbs were throwing the ball all over the field george had 4 tds with 1 pick while warner had 5 tds and 1 pick pretty much the def of shoot out

Guy (Jacksonville)

Wade should get best foul not-called of the week.

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

Skip loves to throw some shots at LeBron. I thought the topic was on Dwayne Wade.

Chris (Boston)

Ochocinco got fined b/c he used the word "bribe" not b/c of the act on the field. So they say.

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

reis but thats big east football you know what a terrible conference they are lol

Brian (SoCal)

gimme Kobe over wade or bron-bron.

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

ha dana good segway...

mike (Atlanta)

THE QUESTION IS NOT ABOUT MICHAEL JORDAN OR LEBRON JAMES. STAY ON TOPIC SKIP. oh man skip getting my blood pressure up.

stacy (georgetown)

morning adam g.

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Very good point Jason(Morgantown)...Bill Russell has what 11 rings or so...He should take the #1 jersey because he thinks he's the best ever

Rick (Pittsburgh)

amen scott

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

Verajao's shouldn't have LeBron coming to his defense. Verajao is a grown-man, he has to defend for himself. Wade didn't throw a punch, he just punched it in on him.

stacy (georgetown)

morning dana how are you?

Umor (Detroit)

LeBron changing your number and still gonna get the Skip Bayless hate.

willie (topeka basement)

skip always brings the subject back to the ppl he hates on

CANDACE (KC,MO)

wow roller. chris paul is the best player on his team and the one of the top 3 point guard in the game

Champ (Bmore)

Melo is better than Wade and Lebron.

Lucas (Fargo, ND) [via mobile]

Good point skip, LeBron should have b een trying to posterize some from the heat instead of talking about how good of a dunk it was by D-Wade

john (panama city bch, fl)

If the papparazi were SO aggressive- they'd catch LeBrick offering a dollar to the refs! STILL the most 3-pt lay-ups in the league.

Mark (Ann Arbor)

Ocho was right. Skip is all shock value.

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

kareem is the best ever! retire his number not jordans.

Champ (Bmore)

Please stop comparing Lebron to Mike. I love King James but Kobe is closer than Lebron

Brian (SoCal)

Now that he is out of New Orleans, Byron Scott might have a chance at Lakers job if Phil doesn't come back next year.

mike (Atlanta)

i like that idea brian but i'm not sure phil will ever step down.

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

Byron Scott got a raw deal wow

Reischea

  (10:33 AM)

Interesting comments from COO of Hornets though. Basically said, Jeff Bower, you picked this team, you better make 'em win.

mike m (canton oh)

abel kareem wasnt even the best center ever,let alone better then mj

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Let's hope and pray that Kareem gets well.

Chris (Boston)

DANA, ask Skip who the better 6-2 team is...the Cowboys or Patriots.

Ray (Arlington, VA)

Number change for LeBron = more jersey sales

Roller (Kentucky)

Why can't these guys just be who they are and not be like mike?!

Demetric (Orlando)

Fear my Hawks...tonite we crush Boston

scott (niagara falls)

kobe is the man

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Chris Paul is playing the best ball in the league right now according to the Hollinger Player Rater stat.

MSimmer (Tempe, AZ)

Kobe is garbage

Daniel (Louisville)

Does anyone know the chances the cavs bring d-wade to cleveland?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I kind of wish we were doing MQF today. Just not enough good stuff in sports yesterday worth talking about.

Bag On Skins Fans Head (Wilmington NC)

Sports Nation did a poll yesterday about who fans would want to take the potential game winning shot... Kobe was #1. I think LeBron was next, but Id rather have D Wade as the second option. Mello was under 10% I believe

Roller (Kentucky)

finally! some real basketball talk- college

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

rick i hope your team aint as cocky astheir fans gonna be using the towels to wipe up the tears after sunday

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

LeBron wasn't born when Bill Russell played, so he is not disrespecting him by wearing #6.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

LeBron changes to number six and immediately starts making passes that get intercepted.

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

Toby Gerhart is a beast! he reminds me of mike alstott.

Zack (Maine)

or he could coach college basketball

mike (Atlanta)

why in the world is TCU favored by 20 this weekend? Utah is ranked 16th.

Demetric (Orlando)

The Crown Prince James, knows nothing about loyalty, he crushed addias for nike

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

LeBron might change his number to prove that he can win six championships as well. Ummmmmm....

Please ya'll - are we gonna Bron it all Day??? that guys team is a lost cause - stop it - Skip has put a spell on all of you

Ask Pat Forde if WVU has any chance to upset Cincy tonight please!

Champ (Bmore)

Oh yeah!!!! My Caramel Macchiato is finally here. Hey Reischea, I would love to share with you :)

Brian (SoCal)

LeBron could get Skip's love...all he needs to do is go to Vandy.

stacy (georgetown)

guys let me say this...skip is insane...

Rick (Pittsburgh)

skip speaks the truth people don't like him cause the truth hurts

John H (Lincolnton NC)

The thing is everybody has crown Lebron the next Michael Jordan, when Jordan came in the league nobody was callin him the next magic or docter J

Guy (Jacksonville)

If Delonte West had his mind-right I think the Cavs would be undefeated now.

Reischea

  (10:35 AM)

But remember Mike (Atlanta), Phil walked a few seasons back before coming back again. He's closer to shutting it down than holding on much longer, especially after surpassing Auerback for titles.

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

With the versatility of the Lakers, Phil would only leave if his health could not sustain a full 82-game season.

Champ (Bmore)

They told Phil that he don't have to go to road games. Do you really think he has any intentions of leaving the Lakers

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I think it's interesting at how impatient NBA owners seem to be. I mean the season is 82 games long and just about everyone makes the playoffs. Why wouldn't you give a coach some more rope?

jason007thomas (Huntsville,Al)

look the reason I say MJ is the greatest cause he played in the era where you could get a Bill Lambeir Dennis Rodman Facial punch on the way up to the rim - its a different era, MJ did it when it was bad for your health to drop 50 on some body

Kevin (OH)

Daniel, 17:1

Reischea

  (10:35 AM)

Yeah Champ, but even Phil knows, that deal won't work.

Brian (SoCal)

The zenmaster has been Farving the last two years so you never know. That said with the players lakers have now phil will not likely leave.

scott (niagara falls)

if the lakers seem good now, just wait til gasol gets back

Mark (Alabama)

Dana Reischea whos yalls heisman vote go to so far?

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Byron Scott had the best haircut in the late 80's early 90's

Roller (Kentucky)

Does anybody know if Roy Williams sent Matt Daugherty a championship ring from the first champ. that R. Williams won with Matt's team??!

Umor (Detroit)

Bill Russel Number, He done alot on and off the court.

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Rediculous to fire Byron Scott after one tenth of the season...and then they hire Tim Floyd as an assistant?...going to be a long season in New Orleans...but they have the Saints this year anyway

john (panama city bch, fl)

Brian- nah, he'll have another job by the end of the season.

CANDACE (KC,MO)

wade is underrated. look at his team. they look like a ncaa team. the heat came to kc and i was able to watch him live. wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zack (Maine)

phil should retire

mike (Atlanta)

true reis but if they win back to back Is he really going to walk away from another possible three peat?

I don't put much stock in National college football offense and defense rankings because there are just so many teams (120) with varying levels of toughness in schedules....plus you have teams that throw all the time like Texas Tech and Houston, and teams that run all the time like Navy...just not an accurate gauge IMO.

Guy (Jacksonville)

I think it is time to start pumping up the talk on this MNF game. I know this will be hard to believe, but Cleveland Browns win big over Baltimore. Quinn passes for over 300-yards.

Brian (SoCal)

good one J.B.

Mark (Ann Arbor)

If i didn't know any better I would think Skip is posing as Rick in Pittsburgh right now.

Loopy (usa)

Wait a minute. Lebron is changing his number? Which NBA exec "suggested" that?

john (panama city bch, fl)

LeBricks new number should be 1/2. Instead of being one-fifth of a team, his teammates- combined- become his "supporting cast"

scott (niagara falls)

msimmer GARBAGE you obviously dont watch basketball

Zack (Maine)

boston can crush any team in basketball

Fred L (Greensboro, NC)

Only Skip "Lebron is No Jordan" Bayless can take the steam out of one of D'Wade's greatest posterizations and turn it into how Lebron is no Mike. Seriously?!?!?

Andrew L (Stamford, CT)

Why did you guys even have D-Wade's dunk as a topic of discussion? Dunk is way overrated. I'm disappointed in you Skip you usually call it like it is.

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

finally someone who sees through tcu's patsy schedule

Reischea

  (10:37 AM)

Well, we'll likely be smelling somethin' if Byron is an assistant for the Lakers next season. Unless of course Phil wins another title and says yep, I'm good to go now.

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

whitney gonna be a bad saturday for you then

Roller (Kentucky)

I'm gonna break it down for you guys: the SEC is gonna dominate in basketball this season too so don't be crying!!

ryan (maine)

Simmer (Az).......I am the biggest Rams fan and I'm watchin the tape of that game! The Rams 1st play from scrimmage 80 yrd Td to Bruce!! 5th play from scrimmage a 40 Td to Faulk!! 14-3 4 mins into the game and it was over!!!

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

mj didnt play against anybody.

jason007thomas (Huntsville,Al)

Rick (Pittsburgh) I agree but sometimes Skips speaks in WKRP shock jock madness (And he aint even in Cincinnati)

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Vandy isn't a sleeper team. Everyone is picking them to win the Big East. Look for the Mountaineers to shock everyone this year in basketball.

Kevin (OH)

Going to be a rough weekend for ya Whitney

Msimmer (Tempe)

Cavs would not be undefeated with d west aweful comment Guy

Mark (Ann Arbor)

Whitney - Iowa might not even score an offensive point on Saturday. It's going to get ugly in the horsehoe.

Brian (SoCal)

Agrre with you Adam. Dr. J is as big an icon for many as MJ.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Woohoo, he stole my analysis about WVU b-ball.

Ty. New jersey [via mobile]

Elton brand is the biggest bust

mendy (okla.)

Roller..football not so much but BB the big 12 will be strong like always.

Demetric (Orlando)

Zack...the Hawks will Attack the C's tonite

john (panama city bch, fl)

Andrew, that dunk was S I C K. Varejao forgot to flop, and paid for it by being EMBARASSED!

Champ (Bmore)

I hope you are not saying TCU is overrated BengalBill.....?

jay

  (10:39 AM)

happy friday room!

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

You're also supposed to feign an injury after you get dunked on like that.

Rajesh (Atlanta)

Demarcus Cousins is an absolute beast...I saw him play during his senior year in high school. He looked like a man amongst boys

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

Calipari will do what he did at Massachusetts and Memphis...win a bunch of games....make the final four and lose...get the hell out of dodge before the crap really hits the fan.

CANDACE (KC,MO)

hey skip nobody will ever be jordan. look how bad kobe wants to be him. it just wont happen. it wasnt his skill it was his heart it was the fire in his eyes. wow!!!

jason007thomas (Huntsville,Al)

Mark (Ann Arbor) yeah your right that red shirt freshman QB of IOWA couldn't hit a bull in the but with a base fiddle

Mark (Alabama)

Jay do you think Bama will get upset this weekend ,hope not

Rick (Pittsburgh)

I see why people dont agree with skip but you cant say that its not refreshing to hear someone just speak about true things.

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

overrated i don't know but they are not better than the bearcats

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

That dunk was embarassing for Jay's boy Varejao he's probably in his hotel room crying.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Thankfully the Knicks have not retired the number six yet.

mike m (canton oh)

mod abel should be banned for saying mj never played anyone,what about l bird,magic,i thomas,d wilkins and c barkley

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

The acquisition of Shaq is going to be bad for LeBron late in games, unless they take Shaq out. Lebron likes to drive the lane and try to creat fouls late in the game and he can't do that with Shaq clogging up the lane.

Roller (Kentucky)

Not much time left to get on the bandwagon for UK, after tonite the wagon is pulling out!! haha

Brian (SoCal)

Hey Jay. bigger game for Ohio. cincy/WV or OSU Iowa?

john (panama city bch, fl)

WooHoo, welcome jay!

Msimmer (Tempe)

Bay or Holliday who is a better fit for Boston

Guy (Jacksonville)

The SEC is already overrated in football-no-way will they do anygood in basketball...

mendy (okla.)

Champ tcu is overrated. let them play the gators or bama.

scott (niagara falls)

whats up jay

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

i agree with charles barkley who said the the nba should retire magic and birds numbers cuz they saved the nba.

Champ (Bmore)

Your right Reischea but with that team, Phil got at least 2 more years in him.

mendy (okla.)

mike m well put!!!

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

Jay I told you about how vulnerable Varejao under the basket. Remember Hollins posterized him last year for the Mavs.

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

College basketball is cool...and the great thing is Roller, there will be a tournament to decide who is the best and it's all about the teams, not stars...

Jacob (Dallas, TX)

Can we talk about tcu? I think they are extremely oevrrated. They need to get off the jv schedule and play at least 3 GREAT teams. If they can defeat good programs in the regular season, then I'll think they are the #4 team in the country.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

The Bearcats are the best college football team in the state of Ohio!

Rick (Pittsburgh)

LeBron wont go to NY he would have about a 6% chance of winning

Umor (Detroit)

Yeah Byron Scott will be with another team by the break I bet.

Guy (Jacksonville)

Hey Skip, still room on the Cav's band wagon-want on?

dana

  (10:43 AM)

allright i have some movie choices to make this weekend - thoughts what i need to see?

Bag On Skins Fans Head (Wilmington NC)

Dana - I liked Law Abiding Citizen, but my date did not, maybe try Men Who Stare At Goats

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

I would like LeBron to go to the Suns. Seeing him and Nash together would be a fun thing to watch.

Bag On Skins Fans Head (Wilmington NC)

Doesnt it make the most sense for LeBron to go to the Lakers? Hard to imagine that he wants to join the misery in the Garden

Roller (Kentucky)

((Caddy Mike)) agree 100%

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

Jason they are the best team in ohio this year but ohio state is still the best program, I say that objectively being an ex bearcat football player

Champ (Bmore)

Just because they cant beat Fla or Bama doesn't mean they are overrated. They'll do better than Cincy!

Umor (Detroit)

LeBron in Dallas. How about that.

jason007thomas (Huntsville,Al)

Abel (Oxnard, CA) yeah it should be a Magic Bird Shrine somewhere (forever the Gods of the game)

Mark (Ann Arbor)

Jacob - you say they need to beat 3 great teams. Can you name me 3 great teams that Florida or Alabama have beat this year?

jeff (bengalland)

bearcats rule ohio

dana

  (10:45 AM)

i heard law abiding citizen was good - men who stare at goats i've heard mixed and i was excited to see it, so i think i'll wait.

Kevin (OH)

Brian, cmon...its OSU/IOWA....Cinci is technically not even in Ohio (It's southern ohio, big difference)

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

How fast was Jay able to throw a fastball?

Zack (Maine)

Hawks need to play better defense

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

when did mj start winning championships? when they all were on their way out of the league.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

'Sup, Jay. Hey did Jay Cutler throw you a pass last night too? He seemed to hit anyone else not wearing a Bears uniform.

Champ (Bmore)

Don't be surprised if WVA shocks Cincy tonight. Those RB's are amazing!!

clint (seattle)

2012

Roller (Kentucky)

stay home and watch Dazed and Confused!! ha

ryan (maine)

4th kind?

Zack (Maine)

2012

Guy (Jacksonville)

LeBron will stay in Cleveland (sorry NY) and Wade will stay at Miami...just pumping up the new contracts.

mari (ok)

i'd like to see ND finally end the weis regime and bring in Kelly

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

Jacob, Boise State has a worse schedule than TCU, you should be crusading against them instead. Neither is making the "national championship" game any way.

Zack (Maine)

there gonna give joe johnson alesson

Brian (SoCal)

GM to coach usually a bad move. remember isiah?

Demetric (Orlando)

Byron Scott........ PLEASE COME TO ATLANTA

mari (ok)

precious and the blind side

john (panama city bch, fl)

Guy (Jacksonville) ROTFL- and, If you come back...I will taunt you again!

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Good one Rick

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I still say if LeBron comes to New York he won't be the only big acquisition the Knicks make.

Zack (Maine)

The celtics are going to own the hawks tonight

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Playing Shaq for any more than 8 minutes per half at this stage of his career is more of a hindrance than a help.

Whitney (Iowa City)

Vandenberg is going to be much more prepared for this weekend So I think he will be just fine, and our defense is awesome!

Kevin (OH)

Dana, do yourself a favor and do NOT see Men who Stare at Goats

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

Dana, you need to see, "The Christmas Carol." in 3-D. Trust me, it was really good.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Dana: The Fantastic Mr. Fox

willie (topeka basement)

what if b scott showed up as an assistant in cleveland

willie (topeka basement)

what if b scott showed up as an assistant in cleveland

Chrismas Carol. It's looks very good even in 3d

Saw 6 Dana

willie (topeka basement)

the micheal ohre movie

jason007thomas (Huntsville,Al)

after last night I will still say If you pull AI off he bench with Odom it would be just totally unfair - they might win another 3 in a row (I know AI wants a ring b-4 he retires)

Jimmy (Nashville,Tn.)

Dana...The Blindside

dana

  (10:46 AM)

willie doesn't open till next weekend

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

Dana- This is It

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

Here are some teams for LeBron, what do you guys think? Memphis- LeBron and Gasol, Clippers- Blake and James, Hornets - Paul and James, Magic- Howard and James. It could happen!!!

Rajesh (Atlanta)

Big Al (Horford) is awesome...If he didn't have to play out of position so much..He would be even better. He's a 4 and often has to suck it up and gaurd 5's. He still saves the Hawks as a legit 10 and 10 guy.

Zack (Maine)

D-wade is kinda better than Lebron this year

Rick (Pittsburgh)

law abiding citizen, the box, must sees

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

Rent My Sister's Keeper. It will make you cry.

Champ (Bmore)

TCU is physical enough to beat down Tebow for 4 quarters and Bama might be too one dimensional. So now that I think about it, if they handle Utah, TCU could possibly win the national championship lol

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

The Men Who Stare at Goats is the worst movie title EVER

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Dana: Unless it is animated or done by Disney, I don't see many good movies these days. Word is that '2012' is pretty good but do I really want to see a movie about the end of the world?

dana

  (10:47 AM)

zack some said he was kinda better till he got hurt last year.

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

Nash Wade Lebron keep Amundsen he's a good hustle player

Daniel (Louisville)

The men who stare at goats Dana.... The men who stare at goats

scott (niagara falls)

that goat movie looks stupid

Demetric (Orlando)

Dana, you deserve to see a real wolverine; rent X-men orgins....at least it's a winner

Daniel (Kentucky)

Dana u should see a christmas carol it is great. I only wish I could take u to see it.

CANDACE (KC,MO)

yo get off shaqs back. hes not 92 shaq or even 01 shaq and they know that. shaq is the old dude at the ct they know when to play. watch him in the finals...

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

Jay it was Rutgers against USF last night you think about me just jokin (Piscataway-Tampa)

James (Denver)

D Wades performance in the Finals is the most overrated playoff performance in NBA history . Wade went to the free throw line 92 times in that series most in NBA Finals history . In a 6 game series he got to the free throw line more then Jordan ever did in a 7 game series . D Wade is the most overrated player in the NBA .

Brian (SoCal)

tiger taking his PAID winter vacation in the south Pacific. Nice appearance fees.

stacy (georgetown)

go see a funny movie...

john (panama city bch, fl)

Jason- that's like saying..."I got the best seat on the Titanic.

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

Dana, if 2012 is out, I'd go see that...but some of the CGI looks really bad from what I've seen in previews...it looks like you're watching Jumanji from 1995 lol.

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

I wonder if Skip has ever cried while watching a movie.

dana

  (10:47 AM)

thanks daniel.

Mark (Ann Arbor)

Men who Stare at Goats was terrible

Zack (Maine)

tell brett favre to retire

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Dana if you need a date, I will spring for the popcorn.

Umor (Detroit)

Roller, Bet you got of Daze and Confuse MQ.

john (panama city bch, fl)

dana- Blind Side opens on the 20th- YOU could prob get an early screening.

ryan (maine)

Hey Zack....Celtics own the East!

dana

  (10:48 AM)

Mark (Ann Arbor)

Don't waste your money on it. I was wish I hadn't!

dana

  (10:48 AM)

JB excellent question, depends on your mood i guess! special fx supposed to be great!

john (panama city bch, fl)

Mark (Ann Arbor)- Al and FL A R E two of the best teams... and they WILL play, have patience.

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

Rent me while you're at it DJ

Daniel (Kentucky)

you're my dream girl Dana. I'm a buckeye fan too.

Guy (Jacksonville)

Say good-bye to Iowa, Florida and Wva this weekend.

Chris (Boston)

Dana, rent The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. Not the happiest of movies, but VERY good.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Skip cried at the showing of the movie "The Alamo" because San Antonio lost in it.

Rick (Pittsburgh)

dan lefevour maybe taking snaps for the brownies next year hahaha

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

rent "UP". i liked that one.

Umor (Detroit)

The men who stare at goats, Sounds like a R.Crumb Comic.

CANDACE (KC,MO)

im a big shaq fan been watching him since 91. i want him win the ship but boston will not be stopped this year. the celtics r the best team in the nba.

jason007thomas (Huntsville,Al)

Debbi does Dallas is a cool movie!!! LOL

dana

  (10:49 AM)

abel have heard that from many - i'm going out to one though...nothing like the movie theatre!

dana

  (10:50 AM)

chris i've heard about it but now can't remember what it's about

Mark (Alabama)

Dana did you enjoy your ride with Skip?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

In our house we are excited about "Area 51," coming out next week. The cool thing about animated films these days is that kids and adults can both enjoy them.

Mark (Ann Arbor)

John - I don't disagree. Just don't say that TCU hasn't beaten anyone when they have won At Clemson Virgina and BYU. The only good win on FLorida' schedule is LSU.

Daniel (Louisville)

I wonder if skip has ever ever cried from stepping on a nail.... or maybe he criticized the color and the type of metal its made of :p

Zack (Maine)

bengals vs. steelers tonight baby

Brian (SoCal)

That LeFevour kid is the real deal.

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

go see the informant dana

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

I like the whole "end of the world" concept and that's why I went and saw "I Am Legend"..........*sigh*.......boring

Champ (Bmore)

Hey Dana. Law abiding citizen is a "GREAT" movie!

Rajesh (Atlanta)

Where's Al?..Hawks take down Celtics tonight..

Daniel (Kentucky)

TCU will crush any team in america

dana

  (10:50 AM)

mark, actually skip went with our producer pete, i drove with jon ritchie and actually had a great time. we bonded. it was cool. seriously, good guy. i love road trips. way back i was with skip and pete and it was cool...

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I understand that in '2012,' The Lions and Wolverines are both undefeated before everything starts to fall apart.

jeff (bengalland)

would skip wear ochos jersey all day monday when we sweep the steelers?

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

Skip woke up crying one morning because he had a dream that he wasn't able to work out for an entire 24 hours.

Reischea

  (10:53 AM)

That movie was really good Champ. I was just a little miffed at the end though. That's only too obvious moment to me.

lawrence (stowe vt)

SKIP'S"END OF THE WORLD" is not having a protein shake or a treadmill for breakfast.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Are there any more rumors about Larry Johnson going to the Steelers?

Carlos (Atlanta)

Dana, what does the Sanchize have plan for this week

James (Denver)

Rajesh in Atlanta only Skip Bayless and others that know nothing about basketball thought the Hornets were legit contenders last season . They got lucky 2 seasons ago and had a nice little playoff run but what did they ever win . To people that know basketball they flew under the radar for 1 season and made the playoffs thats it and if James Posey is the final piece to any teams championship puzzle there in trouble .

Zack (Maine)

in your dreams jeff

CANDACE (KC,MO)

y did wade go to the line 92 time cause hes that kinda player. i love him. he will take it to u. i love that about him. u cant stop him. now he got shaq at a great time.....lol

Zack (Maine)

Rajesh remember the playoffs

Champ (Bmore)

Thanks Daniel. That's what I'm tryna tell folks

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

Dana, is Skip laid back after work?

Rick (Pittsburgh)

haha jeff good one no way that happens no way

mendy (okla.)

J.B. you are so right..

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

I heard a rumor that Sly has written the script for Rocky VII, is this true?

mike (Atlanta)

as much i hate the cowboys...i think they might make the playoffs. Don't think they will win division though. Romo still will lose more games than wins in December.

jeff (bengalland)

teh cowboys will make playoffs then romo will blow first round

Rajesh (Atlanta)

I think Ole Miss and UTenn is a good matchup...Who do you all think runs for more yards Dexter McCluster or Montario Hardesty?

Roller (Kentucky)

BOOOOOOOOO! Cowboys

Guy (Jacksonville)

I can't believe Tebow has not been mentioned yet...oh sorry.

Rick (Pittsburgh)

who cares about the cowboys

Mark (Ann Arbor)

oh shocking a topic on the Cowboys.

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

Flip Bayless whats good

Zack (Maine)

hawks and bengals the 2 teams that are gonna lose tonight

Loopy (usa)

Rooting for the Hawks tonight.

Roller (Kentucky)

Celtics put the beatdown on the Hawks

mari (ok)

where the wild things are was visually stunning and was good....but for a movie thats slightly creepy and wont bug ya till ya turn out the lights i'd go with paranormal activity

Rick (Pittsburgh)

no way LJ end up in pittsburgh

jeff (bengalland)

it s ok zack we sweep reg season you win superbowl

Zack (Maine)

loopy bad choice

mike (Atlanta)

here we go.....T.O. skip sing a new tune plz.

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

Skip is pumping his fists for the Cowboys, but I am going to be really surprised if they could make it to the NFC Championship.

Fred L (Greensboro, NC)

I wouldn't go to the Knicks if I was Lebron. The people that make the decisions for the organization has proven that they don't make good decisions i.e. Marbury, Isaiah Thomas. Plus D'Antonie doesn't coach defense. No championship hopes for them.

Daniel (Kentucky)

Danny Granger is the best player in the N.B.A.

willie (topeka basement)

its always to huh skip

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Dallas could lose this weekend at Green Bay, who is desperate for a win

stacy (georgetown)

reischea-what is your favorite movie?

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

Front runner Bayless

mendy (okla.)

Skip w/ or w/out TO the cowboys will blow it next month just like always.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Nice plug, Skip!

jeff (bengalland)

zack we play on sunday. bearcats play tonight c'mon son

Chris (Boston)

Celtics will win by double digits tonight.

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

skips cutting him up.

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

zach bengals dont play till sunday bud

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

First Take shoul have a show where Skip tries to play Football, Basketball and Baseball against pros. I would absolutely love to see that.

Daniel (Kentucky)

Who cares about the cowboys.OVERATED

James (Denver)

Even after what Ive seen so far this season with the Broncos quick start and Jay Cutlers struggles in Chicago I would still take Jay Cutler as my starting QB before Kyle Orton any day !

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

Daniel what are you talking about maybe the best on the Pacers

Demetric (Orlando)

LJ on the steelers would = repeat....he would have a killer second half

jeff (bengalland)

bengalbill we win sunday?

Zack (Maine)

jeff you lose today and We win superbowl

Mark (Alabama)

Jay who you got for Heisman so far? Mark Ingram?Who Jay?

willie (topeka basement)

i think skip and t o , ochocinco, and lebron shld have a scheduled series of boxing matches so skip will finally b at peace

Brian (SoCal)

Cowboys blah blah TO blah blah romo blah blah blah.

Zack (Maine)

Colt Mccoy Heisman winner

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

you know it jeff love all the bengals haters who just don't understand whats in cincy this year

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

Or have Jay pitch to Skip and have Skip try to hit him. Hitting a baseball is the hARDEST thing to do in sports.

Guy (Jacksonville)

Tonight Cinci 48 WVa 17 Come-on BCS move them up to #3, get TCU out of top 10.

jeff (bengalland)

whos better tebow or the back up for uc bearcats

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Actually I would go to a movie that got luke warm reviews as long as I knew the theater had good popcorn. It's a flavor that just can't be duplicated at home.

mike m (canton oh)

cowboys cant be americas team when skip is on the bandwaggon,they are skips team not americas

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Skip beating his Cowboys drum...not so quick to do so when he is wrong

Mark (Ann Arbor)

Steelers will not sign LJ. They have 3 good backs right now. Why would they bring in LJ's giant ego?

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

TO wasn't the problem in Dallas...its Wade Phillips

Rick (Pittsburgh)

NO LJ we dont need him

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

In the latest issue of Sports Illustrated, the prediction is that the Saints will beat the Steelers in the SuperBowl. The Saints have been barely winning games lately; I think they will choke in the playoffs.

Rick (Pittsburgh)

and don't say goal line runner i don't buy that comment at all with a good o-line skip should score from the goal line

Brian (SoCal)

Steelers better win or they are effectively 2 games back.

Mark (Ann Arbor)

mark alabama - Jay made his 3 minute appearance in the chat today. He has turned into one of those celebrities that get paid to show up at an event for 10 minutes then they take off!

Daniel (Kentucky)

Look at the stats adam. because he's on the pacers is why he don't get no love. Since Uncle Reggie left they've gone from a team that matters to the bobcats

lawrence (stowe vt)

When dallas wins in december then skip can pat himself on the back

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

We all thought that Jerry Jones would keep T.O. as well.

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

when is jason garett going to become the head coach?

mike (Atlanta)

look i love first take and first and 10 but it seems like we talk about the cowboys and lebron ALOT. I know thats because skip sets the agenda. That should change.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

We need to talk about Brett Favre. He was off last week and we have a lot of catching up to do.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Steelers 24Bengals 17

Champ (Bmore)

This college football season has been disappointing so far.

stacy (georgetown)

what jphn in florida?

jason007thomas (Huntsville,Al)

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida) yeah I watched a bit of the game and it looked just simply unfair - LA got a lock on the title this year!!!

willie (topeka basement)

dwade and lebron wld be sick

Mark (Alabama)

well if Jay wont answer it what about you Reischea? Heisman winner so far?

Mark (Alabama)

if Dana can run like that put her on Michigan football team they could use it

Roller (Kentucky)

Whats up Jay???????

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

mardy gilyard should be in the heisman mix if spiller from clemson is

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I hardly ever find college football to be disappointing. I kind of like the fact that the SEC looks no better than any other conference. I have tired of listening to the SEC elitists over the years.

Daniel T. (Louisville)

The pacers are no bobcats.... they actually have a chance to make the playoffs every year placing 9th in the eastern conference every year since their last playoff berth...

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

That's quite an obstacle course you guys have to run through to get to each set.

mike (Atlanta)

i like the behind the scenes look nice.

Zack (Maine)

brett favre should retire

mike m (canton oh)

i dont know why everyone thinks lbj and wade will be playing on the same team next season,its going to be lbj and chris bosh playing together in cleveland

Bernard (Augusta) [via mobile]

Cowboys over Saints! What a joke, u can tell theyre fan. It will be like the last time they met.

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

I want to see him run the 40!!!!

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

skip shoots free throws underhanded

Champ (Bmore)

I agree Reischea. The end of the movie was a little bizarre. It could've ended better

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

favre for MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris (Boston)

Did LeBron just realize that Jordan was as good as he was? Why did he take the number 23 in the first place?! He's just doing this to center more attention around himself.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Zach: Eventually he will retire but right now he's got his team on top and looking really good.

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

LeBron just said the thing about MJ and #23 because he wants to distract attention away from his free agency talk. Brilliant move on his part.

Daniel T. (Louisville)

D-wade in a pacer uniform would be my dream come true.... dreaming of the 90's pacer playoff runs :p

john (panama city bch, fl)

Let's form a Debate Championship Series- WITH play-offs between Skip, Ritchie, Ocho, Jamele, and Woody. Winner gets a RING. THEN, in years to come we can rate THEM,lol.

Zack (Maine)

the bengals are no match for the steelers

James (Denver)

Byron Scotts New Orleans Hornets lost a home playoff game by 54 points to my Denver Nuggets . Scott should of been fired at halftime of that game ! He was forced out by the players in New Jersey . Hes odviously a terrible coach and deserved to be fired .

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

pacers need another superstar..any ideas?

Roller (Kentucky)

feel sorry for people who had Cutler on their ff team

Big Kev (Bag over the head Redskins Fan)

Dallas will lose to us!

Daniel (Kentucky)

the pacers are my squad and they got the man. Wade should come to the circle city and team up with grangerP.S.Keep doin your thing Dana

Brian (SoCal)

I really thought that V. Davis was going to have a big game after all the smack talk. just hope my other ffl te (b. celek) doesn't go off sunday.

jeff (bengalland)

we already beat them zach

Umor (Detroit)

No wonder y'all wanna do the crazy games in London. You got the chair run down pat.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Big Ben for MVP and a 3rd ring.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

who cares where LBJ will play next year, this is getting pretty lame, he wants to win this year, I dont think he cares where he plays next year, its all about the benjamins

willie (topeka basement)

i have to say this yes a cpl were dropped but cutler was trying to force those balls

lawrence (stowe vt)

The diffrence between lebron and kobe is kobe wants and knows how to win and lebron talks about winning while doing all the self promotion possible.

Zack (Maine)

Chuck Norris

Rick (Pittsburgh)

kobe should switch from 24 to 23 now that lebron said hes going to 6 haha do it kobe take lebrons spot light

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

The Lakers should sign Reggie Miller just for the playoffs and brin him off the bench if they need a 3 pointer. Dude can still shoot and wants a ring.

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

Jay I told you! $20,000 fien for Chad!!!

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Reggie Miller is even older than Ty Law.

Zack (Maine)

Chuck Norris could beat the bengals

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

lebron should change his number to 85 so he can be the ochocinco of the nba.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

D-Wade and LeBron playing for the Knicks would be great for me but I'd be just as happy with LeBron and Bosh. I am pretty much boycotting the NBA until the Knicks are relevant again.

Daniel (Kentucky)

peyton=mvp

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

I was looking forward to Portis, running wild on that Denver defesne. But, I guess it won't happen.

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

How many chairs could the first take crew bring to the set in the time it takes Jay Cutler to make 5 picks?

Chris (PA)

I'm anxious to see how the Heinz Field turf holds up this weekend...2 games in under 24 hours

Jay Crawford (Minnesota )

Dana. Please let Skip know he is tragically byes when it comes to Jay Cutler. How can Matt Forte be horrible when he and 120 yards receiving? Yes only 40yard rushing but isn't he behind the same line Skip blames for Jay throwing the ball to the wrong team 5 times? Is Cutlers line throwing the ball? No! Let?s kick the crutch out and make him accountable. He can always throw it away if the pressure is that bad.

clint (seattle)

ocho's bribe was hilarious

Guy (Jacksonville)

Whats the big deal, LeBron will own 23 in a few years anyway!

Daniel T. (Louisville)

zack your right.... the bengals didn't beat the steelers earlier in the season.... its all an nfl conspiracy

Roller (Kentucky)

Chad is a friggin joke!

jeff (bengalland)

go getem skip steelers rule huh

Demetric (Orlando)

Holy crap.....what if Chad had a 20 spot

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

Who cares about, the Steelers/Bengals game. Lets talk Colts vs Pats....GO COLTS!!!!

Zack (Maine)

reggie miller! isn't he 40

willie (topeka basement)

whats the michael ohre movie called

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

He's a man! He's 40!

Are you really a horrible coach, when you were named coach of the year 2 seasons ago? They did have a great season that year. Not saying change was or wasn't necessary, but he was successful in New Jersey and New Orleans, I can't call him horrible.

Daniel (Kentucky)

who cares who wears 23 in the nba

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

JB, you will be boycotting for a long while

Rick (Pittsburgh)

blind side

lawrence (stowe vt)

the steelers will win if the bengals get stuck in traffic.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Willie: Blindside I think.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

bengals will win again, colts v pats= bile creeping up my esophogus

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

Chad Johnson ( I refuse to call him that other name) is a moron. He just wants attention.

THE_REAL_FAN ((TWITTER))

The Steelers/Bengals game is just as exciting as the Colts/Pats matchup. The AFC north is on the line to start the second-half of the season. With the defense of Cincinnati, I think we are in for a treat.

mike m (canton oh)

jb if your waiting for the knicks to be good again your going to have a long wait,they seem to be the pittsburg pirates of the nba right now

Brian (SoCal)

what happens to the fines imposed by the NFL? do they go to charity?

Roller (Kentucky)

Steelers win

john (panama city bch, fl)

For Gosh Sake- somebody PLEEZE tell Mark that Ingram will win the Heisman...I'm an Alabama fan, and I'm tired already!

mike (Atlanta)

really zack....they lose tonight not even going to wait till sunday? You on here for shock value like skip?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I think they are a step above the Pirates, Mike, but we'll know for sure in the off-season when the big time FAs are out there.

Umor (Detroit)

Steelers win. Will not allow themselves to be swept by the Bengals. And hating that the Cincy D is getting more talk than theirs.

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

could you imgaine what, Ronnie Lott, would've done to Chad Johnson, if he was playing today. That would've been awesome.

Reischea

  (11:10 AM)

someone asked where NFL Fines go.... great question btw. Looked it up and the only thing I found was that some money goes to the disabled players association. Read somewhere else it goes simply to support the NFL Players Association. Also read that it goes to various NFL Charities as well. Hope that helps.

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

Reichea, how's it going? I have a question for you. Has your take, on the Colts, changed? I mean you said (earlier in the season, they always start off great then get bounced from the playoffs?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Why all this talk about Pats/Colts and Steelers/Bengals? Everyone knows the most important game of the weekend is Vikes/Lions. A Minnesota win could put them four games up on the rest of the division.

john (panama city bch, fl)

Chiz- Ida LOVED to see that!!

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

I miss john madden, how is he doing?

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

If the Steelers lose Sunday, I will legally change my name to Jason El Bobo

Rick (Pittsburgh)

could you imagine what any safety would do to ocho if they new they wouldnt get fined $25,000

Umor (Detroit)

Chizzie, Ocho would stay as far away from Ronnie Lott as possible.

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

Playoffs? Don't talk about the playoffs! Playoffs?

Brian (SoCal)

I am not a big fan of the retire the number thruout the league thing. I agreed with jackie robinson because of the social impact but not really Gretzky although he was a great player.

Ray (Arlington, VA)

Reischea agree that Byron is a solid coach. But, I think his demeanor can rub guys the wrong way after awhile. He's not a "player's coach". Much like Avery Johnson, he wears out his welcome quickly.

mike (Atlanta)

i think we just buried zack

lawrence (stowe vt)

I wonder if sexy rexy grossman is thinking that he at least got the bears to a SB.

clint (seattle)

lott would make chad retire.................

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Larry Birds Pacers need to get good young players like the Bulls have

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

Skip is exactly who we thought he was, and we let him off the hook!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Ocho should have a plaque somewhere with the NFLPA for all of his contributions.

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

LeBron just said that because Jordan was in attendance

mendy (okla.)

Bengalbill that was pretty good...still smile'in

Roller (Kentucky)

Ty Cobb had the best number of all time! ha

jeff (bengalland)

lebron just needs attention

Reischea

  (11:14 AM)

Hasn't changed yet. That said, I don't see a first round knockout by this squad. I do believe they are the most quiet undefeated out there right now. I wouldn't mind a Saints Colts Super Bowl... but then Peyton would have to lose, cuz' I am all about the Saints going all the way this year. Its no where near time for my Niners yet.I'll see where I'm at in a couple of weeks.

mike m (canton oh)

steelers 33 bengals 17 on SUNDAY

mike (Atlanta)

anyone else hear about ocho fighting anderson silva. Whats skip think about that i'm dieing to hear

Big Kev (Bag over the head Redskins Fan)

You all tell Skip the Cowbums will LOSE next week!!!!

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Chizzie, if Ronnie Lott played today he would be constantly suspended, fined, and flagged.

mari (ok)

dickie v, paige and rome all take on skip...the winner gets a 2 day debate...

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

college football is way better than the NFL

Brian (SoCal)

Ok. does that make chad the most giving guy in the NFL? he could be man of the year.

Roller (Kentucky)

Napolean Dynamite

mendy (okla.)

Joel it's one of my favs., but personally i'd be yellin something other than 40...

jeff (bengalland)

bengal bill wouldnt it be nice if they used brian leonard like dallas clark

Daniel (Kentucky)

jordan is not the greatest player ever

Demetric (Orlando)

Skip, lay off Leborn, he is a great humanitarian, he build houses all over Cleveland with the bricks he shoots per game.

mendy (okla.)

wow..skip giving la brick a bit of love.

Zack (Maine)

chad ochocinco will pull out another dollar ask the ref if he and his team can not play cause they're afraid that the defense will destroy them

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

If you retire 23 in the NBA, you had better retire number 3 in baseball then.

jeff (bengalland)

i am a huge jordan fan but you retire that number then likewise 33,32,6,

mike m (canton oh)

wow skips is actually dead on for once with the #23 debate

john (panama city bch, fl)

Did LeBrick changs his number to deflect the interest in where he'll play next year? And WHY 6- is he DIS-respecting Dr. J?

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Dana, Jay, Reis, can you please use your pull to make college football teams play better opponents in their regular season games? Im sick of LSU, USC, and the SEC getting all of this acclaim for beating each other.

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

LeBron isn't right. He just changing his number, for more sales. MJ was good but NOT the best player ever

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

Daniel (Kentucky)

Yes only 40yard rushing but isn't he behind the same line Skip blames for Jay throwing the ball to the wrong team 5 times? Is Cutlers line throwing the ball? No! Let?s kick the crutch out and make him accountable. He can always throw it away if the pressure is that bad.

lebron should sign with reebok cuz mj has nike. out of respect.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Before everyone bashes me about the Vikes/Lions thing, I was kidding. I'm a Vikings fan and every game they play is the most important game of the week for me.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

biggest game of the weekend=Utah v TCU, cmon Utah!!

Mickey (Memphis )

Skip just a Jordan fan. That's why he's with LaBron.

Daniel T. (Louisville)

farve, brees, neither should be considered over Manning for mvp... neither one has done more with less than Manning has... among the colts, vikings, and saints only one team lost their head coach and the Colts lost a HOF coach. Favre has peterson at his back, and Brees has his full complement of receivers and RB's at his back.... Only manning has had to train 3 new rookies, garcon-brown-collie, and has lead his team to 8-0, remove Manning from the colts and they go the way of the titans or the bucs

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

Bengals win bye 14 sunday, but if you like watching smash mouth warfare this is the game for you!

Retire Wilt Chamberlain's #13

Zack (Maine)

hawks gonna lose tonight

Reischea

  (11:15 AM)

I'm with you Daniel from Kentucky. Nothing but respect for Michael, but not before Russell, especially not Russell.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Saturday night's ND/Pitt Game should be billed, "The Battle to Save Charlie Weis." He loses that one and he may as well update his resume.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

do you think th fines will eventually cause the great ocho to stop his antics? I hope not

Umor (Detroit)

But LeBron to Dallas. He'll have a owner that would get him players that he wants. David Strein would have a major Headache with Cuban, But he use to that.

Rajesh (Atlanta)

Cotto vs. Pacman... anyone?

jeff (bengalland)

skip how many catches did chris have first game

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

go bengals!!

skip bengals #2 in rushing defense mendenhall won't be a factor

mike m (canton oh)

Daniel (Kentucky)if mj not the best ever who is

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I think today Bears fans would like to retire the number six and the player currently wearing it.

Roller (Kentucky)

flipping and flopping is ok, right?

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

'If he can't get the logo, we should retire his number everywhere'? He shouldn't get the logo and his number shouldnt be retired everywhere. What is LeBron talking about?

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

thanks mendy

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

i agree trevor.

Zack (Maine)

tell the bengals fans that the gameis over

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Retire 99 in the NHL across the board while you're at it.

Mark (Alabama)

Skip is a lot smarter than he gets credit for, hes right way more than hes wrong

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

is lebron pulling a kobe by changing his number?

mike (Atlanta)

well the only time skip likes lebron is when he is honoring michael jordan. But i agree with him. Jordan needs to get retired all across the board. Doesn't baseball have someone retired all across the board?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I'm really hoping to see Minnesota win the Super Bowl this year. I've waited to see that happen for pretty much my whole NFL-watching life and to see one of the most storied Packer players ever lead the Vikes to victory would make it oh so sweet.

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

Skip plays to win the game! Hello? He plays to win the game!

tomwit nj [via mobile]

Better not retire too many nunbers. What if a better player comes along?

Reischea

  (11:16 AM)

sometimes Africa, the youth comes out. He also said, were it not for Michael, there'd be no LeBron, Kobe or Wade.....Were it not for Russell and Chamberlain, there'd be no Michael.

mod

  (11:17 AM)

lets get over retiring everybody's number, please...I think we gave MJ his due...lets not act like we all can't play the game anymore without him

Daniel (Kentucky)

thank you reischea

jeff (bengalland)

zack which game the one tonight or sunday

john (panama city bch, fl)

mike m- who ELSE EVER scored 100 points in a game?

Guy (Jacksonville)

I would like it if all the LeBron haters would start calling him Sir King James please.

Zack (Maine)

lebron should wear #24 like kobe

Daniel (Kentucky)

the only number that should be retired is 42.for every sport in america

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

That fake Jay Crawford from MN is beginning to get on my nerves.

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

You don't retire numbers everywhere because of statistics, retiring the number league wide means the PERSON under the number has far surpassed and endured more than anyone else.

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Basketball should be about the name on the front(TEAM) and not the number on the back

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

They should retire Sage Rosenfels number.

Demetric (Orlando)

Jason, the NHL should have retired itself in 99

Rick (Pittsburgh)

bears cant retire number 6 yet till cutler throws that many picks in a game

mari (ok)

being a ND alum, i would like to see weis out and kelly offered the job

Roller (Kentucky)

They will never retire 23 in the NBA, its a waste of time even talking about it and it would be a friggin joke to change the NBA logo for MJ, give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lawrence (stowe vt)

JB not just retire but bury the player and jersey..

Joel (Stanwood, WA)

Exactly Africa. Like Jackie Robinson for example.

mike (Atlanta)

tomwit i dont even Understant the question. Better player than jordan? What?

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

Yes Mike ATL....Jackie Robinson's #42...aside from him, I don't think any numbers should be retired league wide.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

MJ's HOF speech was the best ever

mod

  (11:18 AM)

I agree Hayden

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Exactly, Tom Via Mobile. Eventually there WILL be someone that comes along that makes a bigger impact than Jordan, Ruth, Gretsky, et all. It may be in 5 years it may be 50 years, but it's going to happen.

hey Mod are you going into the ESPN HOF when your mod days are done?LOL

Demetric (Orlando)

Well Miami...has 23 retired already for Jordan

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

they should retire anderson varejaos number.

thats my business

mendy (okla.)

the # i get but changin the logo now that's really out there.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I just think LeBron needs to read a few books about the history of the NBA. It makes him sound uneducated about his league when he makes comments like, 'MJ is a pioneer.'

john (panama city bch, fl)

How about we just retire bERT fARVER- i REALLY don't care about his number!!!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Hayden agrees with me? Is this '2012?'

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

how is lebron hated more than Kobe 'rapetime' bryant?

clint (seattle)

how many players AVERAGED a tripple double for a whole season? neone?

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Noel Devine needs at least 200 total yards for my Mountaineers to win tonight.

Roller (Kentucky)

MJ wasn't the first great or the last great player.

jeff (bengalland)

bengalbill who will be starting for rivers

Andrew (Toledo)

No one will ever have a bigger impact than Ruth in baseball. He simply changed how the game was played via the home run. Someone may put up bigger numbers (without steroids), but no one will ever change the game like that again unless baseball changes its rules.

Reischea

  (11:21 AM)

Bill Russell also endured some pretty heady stuff during his day. Also remember, coached and played, with one or two of those 11 titles coming in double duty... I'd say his is far more the most worthy of league wide retirement if you want to go there.

Mark (Alabama)

Reischea whos your heisman

mod

  (11:21 AM)

I don't care what numbers you put up, unless you made a change on AND off the field, like Jackie, and no one has since Jackie...I don't believe you retire a number league-wide

Guy (Jacksonville)

Once again Wade should have been given a foul.

Zack (Maine)

bye

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

they should retire bo outlaws number.

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

who the hell is tony collarus?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Wait, what did I say, Hayden?

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

And it's a miracle Rivera is wearing it cuz it would suck if some role player had it.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Actually my sister got me a Brett Favre Vikings t-shirt for my birthday. I plan to wear it with pride every Sunday until the end of the season.

Demetric (Orlando)

Roller, your hate for MJ is epic

tomwit nj [via mobile]

If not for a fellow named Naismith we wouldnt have the game of Basketball. I know I misspelled it.

Brett Favre has played for 4 teams. His number actually has some meaning.

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

retiring numbers is overated

Reischea

  (11:22 AM)

You know what Mark, I don't have one yet. No one is really got me thrilled. Sorry.

Rick (Pittsburgh)

so if you wore 42 before they retired that number that means you could still use that number ?

mod

  (11:23 AM)

bingo, and I think Mo's the only one left in the Majors who is still around who had it before they retired it

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

jeff I don't know

jeff (bengalland)

jason he has a good chance our d is not that great

mike m (canton oh)

ok wilt scored 100 in a game but mj and kobe are a more complete players could score outside or in the paint plus if kobe could score 81 im sure if he really wanted to try and not care about winning a game he could jack up enough shots to score 100

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

Yes Rick, but it was grandfathered in, if you were already wearing it you could still wear it, ala Mo Vaughn....must be a Mo thing lol. People were shocked when Selig retired Jackie Robinson's number throughout the MLB...it wasn't something that was expected.

Daniel T. (Louisville)

if they keep retiring numbers soon they are gonna have to go with triple digit numbers.... skip, who do you think would wear #666? :p

Brian (SoCal)

Yes he does. MLB said that anyone currently wearing 42 could keep wearing it but no one else could start wearing it. So Mo will be the last to wear 42 in MLB.

Demetric (Orlando)

Bill Russell played in a bed and breafest era were everything game easy

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

No, if you currently held the number, it's yours until you give it up or retire. After Mo' rides off into the Hall of Fame, no more 42 until the end of time.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

go vikes JB

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

look at, the Colorado Avalanche, they retired Ray Bourque's number. He only played 1 1/2 season for the team.

Daniel T. (Louisville)

oh please.... i can think of 10 players in the nfl that deserve their number retired before favre would even be considered

Mickey (Memphis )

Are everyone on this chat crazy? Who's Jordan to have his number retire. If they do that, you might as well retire Bird, kareem, magic, you see where I,m with this.

jeff (bengalland)

reischa what about the back up in cincinnati

Mark (Alabama)

thanks for answering

Adam G. (Tampa, FL)

Shipley for the Heisman

Brian (SoCal)

Having Mo be the last to wear 42 is a fitting tribute to jackie.

Rick (Pittsburgh)

mark alabama u want everyone to say mark ingrham just give up already

jeff (bengalland)

that is what you get if you combine uc q bs

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

John (Panama City Beach, FL): I bet today the Bears wish Brett Favre was their QB.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

JB, vikes Super Bowl champs this year, and yes, I am freaked out about agreeing with you too

Roller (Kentucky)

How can you argue against Russell being better, if you wanna talk rings he has more than any one athlete!?

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

Reishea, basketball fans (today) live in the highlight era of sports. All they know is Jordan scored a lot of points, won a bunch of titles with a lot of good teams and a HoF coach and sold a lot of sneakers.

john (panama city bch, fl)

There are a FINITE amount of numbers to be used- realistically, therefore the ability to retire a number from use- MUST transcend stats, and reflect an over-the-top contribution to the sport, that's why we HAVE H.O.F.s

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

if baseball retired all of its players and numbers I wouldnt care much

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Jeff, our pass D is putrid. So maybe it will be a high scoring affair.

mendy (okla.)

Rei thanks...mark's been on it with that question...maybe wanting some love for ingram.

James (Denver)

Reischa alot of bad coaches that are long gone from the NBA have won coach of the year and alot of great coaches havent . George Karl Jerry Sloan and Phil Jackson have never won it so does that mean they arent good coaches ? Coach of the year is given to coaches whos teams exceed expectations and New Orleans did fly under the radar and win for 1 season . He was forced out by the players in New Jersey . He couldnt get along with JR Smith and gave him away . Hes a terrible coach sorry .

Bag On Skins Fans Head (Wilmington NC)

Daniel (Kentucky)

TCU beats any team in the country, and the lions, and skins

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Well said, mod. Statistics do not warrant league-wide retirement. Actually that makes for a good topic, mod. Are there any other people in sports history who have made a contribution to their individual sports that warrant a league-wide number retirement?

numbers are meaingless, who cares? Id wear 00, 99, 69, whatever!!

Roller (Kentucky)

You can't compare the different era's in sports, the guys that played at different times played the best competition out there just like the guys that play today, against the best comp. so that is a baseless argument!

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

The best Heisman moment ever....1916 Georgia Tech - 222, Cumberland-TN - 0....GT head coach John Heisman runs up the score against a patchwork Cumberland-TN squad for a 22-0 baseball defeat where Cumberland-TN reportedly used professional players. Don't mess with Heisman lol.

jeff (bengalland)

like it was for us against uconn

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Having Jackie's number retired league wide is about the only good thing Bud Selig has done for baseball (let the J.B. bashing begin).

Rajesh (Atlanta)

Tuberville just praised Notre Dame. He cant be SEC biased..

Andrew (Toledo)

If TCU or Boise gets left out of the BCS this don't be surprised to see an anti-trust lawsuit (that would win).

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

this is the first year in a while when the Heisman is up in the air so late in the season, agree?

mod

  (11:26 AM)

OK Hayden, now you're pushing it, I already agreed with you once today

Rick (Pittsburgh)

agree hayden

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Most dominate "move" in sports: Rivera's cutter, Jordan's fade away, Barry Sanders' juke, or what?

Reischea

  (11:27 AM)

99 was the Worm wasn't it? Random thought here. As a kid, I thought you could only do numbers 0-5, because the refs could represent the number with one hand. 99 threw me!

mod

  (11:27 AM)

I like that question, Jason

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

sky hook is the most dominate!

Rick (Pittsburgh)

reggie white club and swim moves

clint (seattle)

skyhook from karreem......lol

jeff (bengalland)

b sanders juke unstoppable

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

west virginy in trouble tonight bearcat d built for defending spread offenses thats why kelly went to 3 4 defense hard to get the edge on cincy ask oregon state

Umor (Detroit)

The Talent wasn't as streech out as it is today in Russel Era. He played against the best teams.

mendy (okla.)

Actually Hayden there is meaning in wearing a certain # on any level of play at least it was for me back in the day.

mike m (canton oh)

its not the # on the outside of the jersey,its about the player inside of it

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

hayden its up in the air every year.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Ah a fellow Vikes fan. Amazing we don't agree more, Hayden.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Kareem's sky hook for most dominant move nominee.

Daniel (Kentucky)

larry legend busting heads from deep

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

rajesh whatch him on espnu inside the polls which they should change to inside the sec since all the analyst are from sec schools

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

The 2001 Heisman was up in the air til the last moment...Eric Crouch won (Grossman should have gotten it IMO) but a lot of the votes were lost in the mail I believe because of 9-11 stuff and the anthrax scare of the time. Voters were still hellbent then about not giving the Heisman to a Freshman or Sophomore...Rex was a soph.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

most dominate move in sports right now is the Brady to ref signal for a call

mike m (canton oh)

kareems sky hook,unblockable

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

Hawks are playing over their heads. They're a good team, but, not a great team.

Guy (Jacksonville)

Ali's catch fraise...

Demetric (Orlando)

Andrew, Tuberville just wants the Notre Dame job

Daniel (Kentucky)

skip wins the heisman because no one runs like his mouth lol

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

Rivera's cutter. He has ONE postseason loss, outside of that, if the yanks had the lead in the 8th inning, time to head to the parking lot

mendy (okla.)

Jason hands down barry sanders!

Rajesh (Atlanta)

Jason--my opinion Rivers's cutter...man I dislike the Yankees

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

Dr. J's slam dunk from the top of the key is the best sports move

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

kobe has that pump and spin move that is nice too.

mari (ok)

sky hook

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

Reischea, Dennis Rodman was #91 in Chicago.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Reischea: I thought the same thing about the numbers, at least for guys wearing double digits.

Loopy (usa)

A right from Tyson if he hits is dominate.

Daniel T. (Louisville)

Mannings audibles at the line... nobody can counter them cause i think noone knows what they mean

john (panama city bch, fl)

Jason- you forgot LeBrick's "Crab- dribble" AND Skip's "Crawfish Debate"

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

kobe dominates by drawing fouls

Joe (Atlanta)

I agree Ali's catch fraise

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Another nominee for most dominant move: Moses Malone's charging through three defenders while knocking them to the ground and not dribbling. I used to call it, "Moses parting the Red Sea."

Daniel T. (Louisville)

Daniel from Kentucky... noone could have said it better

Guy (Jacksonville)

What number would you give Tiger Woods? Numbers are not important.

jeff (bengalland)

girvins fingerroll wow that was unstoppable

Demetric (Orlando)

Chizzie, the Hawks will win the East this year

clint (seattle)

dr j never jumpedf rom top of the key srry

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

i think peyton manning showing up for the game is the most dominate.

clint (seattle)

freethrow line yes but many can do that now

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

Daniel T (Louisville) I think your right, maybe his own teams doesnt know either...j/k...LOL

DAVID (Bowie,Md)

DJ, THE MOVIE 2C IS "2012".....HAPPY WKND....

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

Nolan Ryan's fast ball?

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

ok, sounds good, so you are a great analysist and deserve a raise?

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

If Tiger Woods had to wear a number....its really quite simple....#1.....

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

The Jim Halpert spin serve (I hope some of you get that one).

Reischea

  (11:33 AM)

Its funny JB, I remember asking my hoops coach about it and I thought he told me the same thing.

Daniel T. (Louisville)

If tiger woods ever wore a number it would be invisible... cause noone could touch it

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

pro sports are hard to watch because of all of the ref involvement. what happened? Why? makes me sad

Joe (Atlanta)

Mike Tyson's overhand right

Chizzie (Thornton, Co)

Nuggets WILL beat the Lakers tonight. Melo will have 40+ points tonight...GO NUGGETS!!!

Rick (Pittsburgh)

who cares about boxing jay

Hulk Hogan (LA)

My leg drop is the most dominate move in sports.

Demetric (Orlando)

Fear the Hawks

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Tiger's putting stroke under pressure is a pretty good move

jeff (bengalland)

woods number would be 20 thats how many majors before he calls it quits

Daniel (Kentucky)

best move in sports is old school George Foreman's right hand

Daniel T. (Louisville)

Your probably right Chizzie

john (panama city bch, fl)

Kobe doesn't draw fouls- they're a gift from the refs! Gasol, and LeBrick are alternate recipients...

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I used to officiate youth leagues and they all wore numbers that were less than six.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Don't forget about Moses missing three times on purpose so he could rack up those offensive rebounds.

Rick (Pittsburgh)

Final Four teams this year anyone ? i know it early

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

WHEN we will get Pac-Man vs Pretty Boy Floyd?!

Reischea

  (11:34 AM)

Gotta get back to you on that one. Sorry Mark.

mike m (canton oh)

randy johnsons slider

mari (ok)

kudos jb...great show

clint (seattle)

no overhand right from tyson its his uppercut dat made him

Reischea

  (11:34 AM)

Mark, Who's your Heisman guy?

Joe (Atlanta)

Evander Holyfield's left hook

Sporttown (Indianapolis)

rei..u play b-ball @ Usc ?

Rajesh (Atlanta)

I rather see cotto vs. Floyd than pac vs floyd

Reischea

  (11:35 AM)

No. I stopped after high school.

lawrence (stowe vt)

When I take off from the freethrow line I can get net

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

pete rose's head first slides

willie (topeka basement)

when promoters back off

Roller (Kentucky)

I guess no one got the joke Ty Cobb's # number! He didn't wear a #.

mod

  (11:35 AM)

you're a riot

Umor (Detroit)

Barry Sanders Juke. Broke alot of Dlinemen legs with that move.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Bud Selig's negotiating skills are most dominant. They gave us a year without a World Series, something not even war could do.

clint (seattle)

now mr snapy from da big unit was very nasty pitch i gotta say

Little Mac (Nintendo)

My star punch is most dominate.

Reischea

  (11:36 AM)

I did high jump for the Trojans though. Even contributed points to the Women of Troy's first EVER Pac-10 championship.

tomwit nj [via mobile]

Yes I said it. Some day an NBA youngster will make us all forget about MJ. I know its heresy. When I was a kid it was Wilt Chamberlain. Nobody that big and that good. Now those type players are common. Players get better every year. There are nn crystal balls. And the world goes round. Plus it would be sad to think that we have witnessed the best tha there could be and thats that.

Daniel T. (Louisville)

best move in sports.... benching roy williams

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Roller: I got it. I felt no need to respond but I thought it was pretty good.

Demetric (Orlando)

Rick; Final Four Teams : Georgia Tech, Duke, North Carolina, UCF

Rick (Pittsburgh)

and a tie in an all star game

James (Denver)

The PacMan is the best pound for pound fighter in the world ! When is Money Mayweather going to man up and fight him ? Pacman is going to pick apart Cotyo this weekend then Mayweather put his mjney where his big mouth is because the PacMan will destroy him . Just please give up the singing career PacMan you were terrible on Jimmy Kimmel .

clint (seattle)

final four unc, kentucky, kansas, washington

Daniel T. (Louisville)

Wake up Demetric.... your dreaming again

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

pass the ball to kobe thats a dominate move.

The Rock (Florida)

The People's Elbow is the most dominate move in sports today, yesterday, and in the future.

jeff (bengalland)

clint randy was nasty just ask the "bird" may he rip

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

reis, that is cool

john (panama city bch, fl)

commercial break, jay- drop the pen and tell us if you hit it,lol

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

when is the pro bowl or the NBA allstar game going to matter like it does in baseball?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

You know after a slow start and despite no MQF, this chat has been solid today. Well done, people!

Guy (Jacksonville)

The QB for Nevada should be in the Heisman running, the kids a monster TD machine.

mike m (canton oh)

the most dominate move in sports has to be randy jonhsons slider,just ask that bird he mad explode with it

jeff (bengalland)

rick and keeping the hit king out of hof

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Jay Crawford's pen-drop is dominate.

Roller (Kentucky)

((J.B.)) thanks man! maybe I went back a little too far

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Dale Earnhardt Sr.(R.I.P) made some pretty good moves on the race track...even if his competitors were none too happy about them

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

most dominate move in the MLB= needle to arm injection

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

Final Four? Kansas, Syracuse (yea, I'm a homer), Tennessee, UNC

john (panama city bch, fl)

J.B.- I remember that- you must be old, too-lol

Daniel (Kentucky)

cotto's gonna smoke pacquiao

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

I have a big-west championship ring with my name on it, couldnt be stolen...

Umor (Detroit)

Gretsky wrap around. It won him a scoring title.

Demetric (Orlando)

The best move in sports might sound crazy but hear me out; Brad Lidge smoking Carlos Beltran in that 07 NLCS game....nasty

Daniel (Kentucky)

c'mon rock u know it's the stunner

Trevor (Clinton Township, MI)

People, the word is DOMINANT, not dominate...pet peeving over here lol.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

The Jay Cutler Pick. It has single-handedly brought the Bears to their knees.

Joe (Atlanta)

PBF would beat Pacman just as he has done everyone else. It woild take him a couple of rounds to figure him out and once that happens, it's over

Rajesh (Atlanta)

I would tip my hat to Mayweather if he had fought Cotto two years ago..Instead of ducking...If he won-- great, but you can't say Mayweather is great and never ducked...

Loopy (usa)

Skip pounding the table is dominate and intimidating.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Reischea is like an onion. Just so many layers.

Roller (Kentucky)

UNC no, but UK yes in the final four and now you folks will see what kind of coach RW is.

lawrence (stowe vt)

Mike tyson just had to walk in the ring and had his opponent beat

Rick (Pittsburgh)

i like kansas texas villinova, duke

Loopy (usa)

Sorry Trevor. Skip pounding the table is dominant.

Rick (Pittsburgh)

dominate move is super fly snuka frog splash

Umor (Detroit)

North Carolina, Michgan St., Kansas and Duke.

mike m (canton oh)

sweet chin music rock u know uve felt it

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Larry Bird shooting bombs at 6'9", Hakeem's "Dream Shake", Roger Craig's High Knee's, Bobby Hull's slapshot, Beckham's bending free kick....

Daniel (Kentucky)

the best move in sports was peyton manning over ryan leaf

Rick (Pittsburgh)

best move is christian"the Nigerian Nightmare" Okoye in tecmo bowl

Guy (Jacksonville)

Skip wearing a Cav's jersey.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Andy Roddick's 155mph serve...so many options. Maybe there will be a first take poll.

Joe (Atlanta)

Deion Sanders hand behind the head pick six high kick

BENGALBILL (CINCINNATI)

Chad is great for the nfl gives them some signs of life off and on the field

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

I forgot about the craig high knees for a sec, thanks jason, craig=underrated

Umor (Detroit)

Chad spends alot at Mickey D's

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

hulk hogan leg drop!

jeff (bengalland)

skip help chad out.

lawrence (stowe vt)

the sharp shooter from bret the hitman hart

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

where did he even get a single? Genius Ocho

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Larry Bird's dunk...oh wait.

Hook (Southern Maryland)

How about Kane's and the Undertaker's choke slam. Also remember the tombstone?

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

USU, Utah, Kansas, UNC

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

chuck norris roundhouse kick. end of debate.

Alex (Detroit)

Stafford is going to lead lions to playoffs and become MVP this season.

Daniel T. (Louisville)

Daniel from kentucky your absolutely right

Roller (Kentucky)

I wonder how far someone like Jack Nicklaus could have hit a golf ball if he would have played with the clubs they use today on tour instead of the wood drivers?

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

The Shaq dunk is definitely dominate.

mendy (okla.)

Wow the most colt's talk on the show the past couple of days, than all season. Good

Joe (Atlanta)

Bruce Lee's nunchuck abilities

jeff (bengalland)

bruce lees one inch punch end of story

Alex (Detroit)

lets have a tribute to the BAD BOY PISTONS!

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

You are going to see a lot more players like Portis and Westbrook missing games for concussions...even though Goodell poo-pooed it at the congressional hearings a couple weeks back

Umor (Detroit)

Oh Pistol Pete hand passing. Magic before there was a Magic.

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

Hayden: USU? stop

mike m (canton oh)

anything bruce lee did was dominate

James (Denver)

You can say Bill Russell was the greatest defensive player ever but he wasnt a very complete player . Wilt was 10 times the scorer Russell was . Having the most championships doesnt make you the best ever . Is Trent Dilfer better then Dan Marino ?

Reischea

  (11:47 AM)

Sorry JB. I had to yield on Friday. Although, I was very tempted, cuz you're right... it was a slow start. We'll get back to the off subject stuff again, its just probably gonna be a Tuesday or wednesday thing, We'll see.

Reischea

  (11:48 AM)

Thoughts on MQF will likely change with college football nearing bowl season and all.

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

Why should we trust anyone the Oakland Raiders are 'impressed' with?

Alex (Detroit)

Raiders are a mess. They should release, trade all of their players and just start over.

tomwit nj [via mobile]

Just rewatched Deniro and Goodman in Men of Honor about first African American Navy Diver the late Carl Brashear. Never realized he was uncle to NHL Player Donald Brashear. Small world.But I wouldnt want to paint it.

Reischea

  (11:49 AM)

Is that true.... wow, how neat.

mari (ok)

yeah release them all and send seymour back to the pats

Reischea

  (11:52 AM)

Tomwit, thank you for the history lesson (Donald Brashear's great-uncle). That is a really neat little factoid. I mean it, thanks.

Umor (Detroit)

Well Have a great weekend y'all, Go Michigan.

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Secretariat had some pretty dominant moves in the 1973 Triple Crown year

Alex (Detroit)

Everytime Skip dis anyone pro player i just roll my eyes and say " What have you done in your nfl career?" oh right..

Africa (Brooklyn, NY)

Until Al Davis turns over personnel decisions to....well anyone else on the continental US, the Raiders will never improve

Roller (Kentucky)

Jay- how are ur Buckeyes looking for the upcoming b-ball season?

mike m (canton oh)

the most dominate move is mod throwing all our bad or dumb posts in the trash

Reischea

  (11:54 AM)

He may not want to turn things over to Randy Lerner.

mod

  (11:54 AM)

nice

Caddy Mike (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

Here's hoping the Colts win and Dallas loses at Green Bay so we can pick on Skip again

Guy (Jacksonville)

Gator Bowl yard sale...nfl team moving soon...will take best offer.

clint (seattle)

didnt seymour say braiders makin da playoffs? playoffs, dont talk about playoffs.........

Abel (Oxnard, CA)

haters! why is it that the lions lose every game last year and the raiders still have everybody hating on them?

jeff (bengalland)

well everyone have a safe and fun weekend. dana youre beautiful. skip well anyway go bengals

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

Wasn't Marty McSorely's uncle the Deniro character in that film?

James (Denver)

Your right on Chizzie the Avalanche retiring Ray Bourques number after playing here for less then 2 years is the stupidest number retired in all sports . Except maybe the Heat retiring 23 for Jordan .

Chad Ochocinco (Ohio)

Thats so bad that the NFL takes time out to suspend me for being competitive.. I guess thats why people stay in college or go to the AFL.

mendy (okla.)

Skip that's sooner talk.......way off.

Jason (Morgantown, WV)

They should retire Secretariat's number across the board.

mendy (okla.)

Texas on any field!!!!!!

clint (seattle)

go CHAD celebrate all over every team out there keep it up u make the game fun too watch

Alex (Detroit)

glad chad ochocinco can stop by and give us his 2 cents.

Roller (Kentucky)
