We needed more Tebow and less cowboys. Idk why SAS would complain about that.

[@Digitalknifeparty]

That cornball brother comment that Rob Parker was pretty damning. It’s up there with Rush Limbaugh saying the following, “I think what we’ve had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a Black quarterback do well. … There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn’t deserve. The defense carried this team.”

14 games, 126-271, 46.5%, less than 1800 yards, 12 td 6 picks. What's to remember? Dude is a bust and idk why it's so hard for people to admit it. Tebow is a bust.

[@DAREALBIGBEAR]

[@bobjames5264]

Looks to me like skip is lying…AGAIN. Remember: Stephen A is not the first person to have to check Skip for denying the bosses had a problem with something he said. Remember the last blowup between Skip and Shannon, the one that ultimately led Shannon to leave Undisputed? Skip claimed the bosses had no problem with his comments about Damar Hamlin. Shay Shay was so pissed off by that, he urged Jen, the moderator, to move on to the next topic-TWICE!! Not to say this shows a “pattern” in Skip, but it’s something to notice!! I’ve said for some time now that Skip seems to suffer symptoms of senility. That has nothing to do with his character, which I want to still believe in. I will say again: he needs to retire.
