08/10/18: Saquon vs Browns: Too much hype for one run?

SHO'NUFF : 12/12/2018 10:21 pm
From Undisputed on 08/10/18.

Remember his first NFL touch for 39 yards in the preseason? Oh boy, they didn't know then, but they sure know now.

I love the comments, too. One guy even said: "The biggest realization for Saquon now, is that he's not gonna be faster than all the competition... they're gonna keep up lol"

LOL is right! & #128514;& #129315;


08/10/18: Is Saquon Barkley getting too much hype for one highlight run? - ( New Window )
I feel like that's what people always say

He won't be able to do what he did in college! All the great ones were once college players.

Kept saying the same thing about giants fans hyping him up too much based off of one run in the preseason... he apologized publicly and took back what he said.
So silly  
BestFeature : 12/12/2018 11:11 pm : link
That one run just showed his skill but 99% of the hype was from his abilities and his play in college.
Holy christ

is Skip Bayless an idiot. I don't ever really see him (thankfully) but wouldn't it be great if these guys got called on on this shit every now and then? Sure, we've all been wrong about players and prospects buy what other profession can you be so completely wrong and arrogant about something and not be called out on it?

I want to come back as a sports "analyst" and just throw shit against a wall and see what sticks. Ridiculous.

Is a Giant hater. Just keep talking Skip. Makes you look real good.
Remember how scared everyone was

That Guice was going to be as good as Barkley, essentially making our pick and the Skins pick a wash? Yeah, how's that going so far?
I remember someone telling Skip  
Deejboy : 12/13/2018 3:59 am : link
That they hope they play a laugh track at his funeral. I guess they were saying his whole life has been a joke lol.

Only the very very dim thought that. 30 seconds of watching them on any high or low light would demonstrate how superior physically Saquon is. All of those comparisons were people being intentionally contrarian in hopes of being able to say I told you so because they have no ability to discern talent.

This.
I keep watching highlight compilations of Barkley...  
x meadowlander : 12/13/2018 8:44 am : link
...the only other Giant I've ever really done that for is Lawrence Taylor.

I simply can't believe what I see with this kid. Rabbit quickness and speed.

He's a LOT like Gale Sayers was - but with excellent skills as a receiver to boot.

I've watched football for over 40 years now - never seen anything like this kid outside of Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson. :)
I cant stand Skip  
jtfuoco : 12/13/2018 9:26 am : link
but one thing I got to give the guy is he wont back down when the athletes show up on his show like you see from most of the talking heads on these types of shows.
You want respect

that's Eric Dickerson fawning over Barkley there -- Eric Dickerson

Fuk Skip Bayless -- I'll take Eric Dickerson's appreciation every time over anything Bayless has to say -- he is paid to be obnoxious
Skip goes out on the ledge and well......looks like

Skip Bayless is great at his job - he keeps people talking about him.
I've never seen a professional have so many wrong takes and still keep

Derek Fisher will prove to be a much better NBA head coach than Steve Kerr.

Probably because his job is to be provocative, not to be right. The only way to be provocative is to be wrong the vast majority of the time.
That show and First Take

represent everything I hate with sports media. All hyperbole, no analysis and no one ever will admit to being wrong on anything.

It's sad. Really sad. I don't give a shit about Skip Bayless and his take on sports. Give me Baldinger breaking down film over Skip.

has the uncanny ability to unite people and they usually want to put a fist to his face.

He is truly a troll. I used to help him out at my previous job and he would wear a hat with the brim real low and sunglasses on.
