Football

I watched the ‘apology,’ which was a sorry to anyone he offended apology, not taking ownership, claiming it was misconstrued or misinterpreted (maybe it was, but no responsibility at all?)

There’s no need to worry about the game, the schedule, the seeding. That’ll eventually sort itself out. Would Damar Hamlin’s health sort itself out, though? You can see the players were visibly distraught. They appeared to be in no emotional shape to play, and it would’ve been sloppy if they did.

What strikes me is how Skip has talked about his rough childhood and the father he was raised by. He should have more empathy, concerns and priorities for something awful - from the controversy with Dak’s brother to last night.

But this is what passes as acceptable for entertainment and money these days. Skip sold out his integrity, ethics and values for a paycheck and talking on people’s screens. He felt the need to draw attention to himself, make something terrible about himself.

I work in sports media. I never, ever, ever want to make something about me, let alone if I’m covering something tragic.

It can be fun to dunk on Skip for his asinine sports takes, but I don’t merely see somebody who runs his mouth and spouts ridiculous things going on in sports, I see someone who says and does awful things and laughs to the bank while doing it.

And for some reason, there are people who love it.
