Skip Bayless is 71 and stil manages to make an insane amount of enemies by what he says and types.
Matt Barnes is just the latest to speak out against the FS! host in response to Bayless’ recent comments on the injury of Damar Hamlin. Barnes began by praising Bayless as a professional, but quickly criticized his handling of the Hamlin situation. Bayless had posted an insensitive tweet on Monday night about the resuming of play following the scary incident.
Barnes began by suggesting that he thinks “Skip’s day is coming.”
“First of all, Skip is a professional in this realm, [and] was highly respected,” Barnes said in a video originally posted to his Instagram. “When people say, ‘read the whole tweet,’ he said the game was ‘irrelevant.’ He knew he had to put that at the end of the bullshit he was saying hoping we didn’t see through the bullshit, because how he truly felt was his original first sentence.”
“I just feel as of late he’s been very very very disrespectful and out of pocket, and that’s normal, but he’s been that way to Shannon [Sharpe],” he continued. “I think Skip’s day is coming, and it may not be from a firing standpoint because you know white men in this profession can kinda get away with and do what they want.”
Barnes went on to claim that he’s had to stop two different people from assaulting him.
“I know personally that I’ve had to diffuse two situations,” he said. “One with a coach, and one with an NBA player. They wanted to fuck Skip up. … One was this year, one was last year. … Luckily cooler heads prevailed, but it’s just gone too far in my opinion. Shannon’s had a lot of love or does have a lot of love for dude, but you can even see Shannon’s fed up. And someone’s gonna end up hurting Skip.”

When Tuesday’s episode of FS1’s Undisputed aired, his co-host, Shannon Sharpe, was notably absent. Sharpe returned Wednesday and it did not take very long for them to get into a heated discussion.
“Skip tweeted something and although I disagreed with the tweet, and hopefully Skip will take it down, but I didn’t want,” Sharpe said before Bayless interrupted.
“Timeout, timeout. I’m not going to take it down because I stand by what I tweeted,” Bayless said.
“I cannot even get through a monologue without you interrupting me,” Sharpe shot back. “I was just going to say, Skip, I didn’t want to yesterday, to get into a situation where Damar Hamlin was the issue. We should’ve been talking about him and not get into your tweet. That’s what I was going to do. But you can’t even let me finish my opening monologue without you interrupting.”
