Billy Wagner was just on 1050 ESPN with Michael Kay, and indicated the media reaction that most angered him in the wake of last week's locker room outburst was being called a "racist."
Understandable, certainly.
"When things like that get thrown out there, that doesn't hurt Billy Wagner," Billy Wagner said, "that hurts Billy Wagner and his four kids and his wife and his foundation and his charities he does and the people around him, and to me that almost gives me the right to say, 'You know what, I don't have to talk to the media anymore if you're going to mistreat me when I'm there every day.' I don't have to be there every day."
Wow. But who exactly was it who called Wagner a racist, Mr. Kay wondered, as he had not heard anyone accuse Wagner of that?
Um . . . Skip Bayless. SKIP BAYLESS?! Billy Wagner is fed up with the media and might close his colorful mouth because of something uttered by Skip Friggin' Bayless?
I should have listened to my mother and become a pipefitter.

Skip Bayless also thinks Troy Aikman is gay and basically got run out of Dallas because of it. ESPN needs to fire this guy. Just because he wrote for a newspaper doesn't make him a journalist, although I think he said that on his morning radio show (and maybe in a book). He makes Mike and Dog look good in comparison.
Skip Bayless acts angry on the air. He acts like he's going to fight someone. I give him this nickname, "Angry". He is Skip "Angry" Bayless.
skip bayless is a coon. he is so annoying and he is always shaking. it just shows you how low espn has gotten by having him on there.
I support and back what Sandy said. That is what got Bayless into the national spotlight. He is an uber-contrarian and has axes to grind with certain players like LeBron James and Kevin Garnett for the most obscure reasons.
