Suggs Calls Skip Bayless "Douchebag"

by Bruce Raffel on Jan 23, 2012 6:00 PM EST

In the apparently never-ending debate between Baltimore Ravens LB Terrell Suggs and ESPN First Take's Skip Bayless, this recent round goes to T-Sizzle by virtue of a knockout punch in the war of words. Bayless continues to try to bait Suggs into calling his teammate, QB Joe Flacco out, as it is painfully obvious how much Bayless loves to hate the Ravens QB.

However, Sizzle wasn't going there and hasn't throughout his back-and-forth verbal sparring sessions with the First Take show mainstay on their "debate" team. This time, however, Terrell decided to cross the line and rightfully so. According to a story linked by Pro Football Talk, Suggs grew weary of Bayless' constant trouble-making and said, "don't be a douchebag," momentarily stopping the big mouth, whose could only muster a response, "Now watch your language."

suggs must like the attention as he returns time and time again to answer skips questions. what the hell does he expect? skip asks the same questions about the same players every chance. they deserve each other.

Skip really is a D Bag, but at the same time, it’s his job to be one. Suggs should just tell ESPN to piss off. They’re mostly comprised of biased, uninformed, $1,000 suit wearing ass clowns that try to pass themselves off as “experts”.

I absolutely love this!

If more players called out Skip and the other idiots, we wouldn’t have to put up with such biased, slanted sports reporting.

I think you would, they thrive on that shit. Thats why the create the character in the first place. They want a certain reaction out of you, and more often than not, they get it

Remember

That is essentially how Rome launched his career by baiting Jim Everett by constantly calling him “Chris” (as in Chris Evert, the female tennis player) until Jim Everett hauled off and hit Rome.

I remember that, classic stuff. I’m sure a light went off in Rome’s head right then. It’s too bad Jim Rome doesn’t have a weekly show called “come beat Jim’s ass”. First week’s guests, Terrell Suggs, James Harrison, Ryan Clark, Patrick Willis, Dunta Robinson. Sounds like a hit.

Suggs loves the pub too!

Never hides from it either.

Bayless has to be thrilled that he baited Suggs into this.

It only drives up his numbers.

I don't like the Ravens but I like this

I love to see people defend their teammates and this actually made me laugh because Skip is a massive D-Bag

Suggs is many things, but you cannot say the man is disloyal. He’s also right, Skip is a douchebag.

I'm a little surprised

at Skip, who usually defends players who have been maligned when they come through, which Cool Joe did without question. Suggs just earned back some of his “sizzle” IMO.

i love Suggs

dude is as real as it gets. still kicks it in chandler in the off season, i’ve been at the same bar where he was chillin w a small group of people, had my wife holler “go ravens!!” and he sent us a round of shots… good dude, bayless is a douche, and ray lewis couldn’t of said it any better in his post game remarks.

i try to be a Cardinals fan as best i’m able, but i’ve certainly grown a great deal of respect and admiration for the Ravens over the last few years. now if only y’all hadn’t let le’ron mcclain go….

As a Packers fan,

I know how frustrating Skip Bayless can be. He was complaining nonstop about Aaron Rodgers midway through the season on Twitter, only for Rodgers to shut him up in a game against the Giants in New York.

Thank you very much Terrell Suggs, for saying what we all want to say. You are a true American hero.

He hated Aaron Rodgers for 3 reasons I think

1) Scared that (at the time) Rodgers might go 16-0 in the regular season, so he’d HAVE to acknowledge that Rodgers shares his golden boy’s accomplishment (Brady)
2) He loves Favre, so to have his immediate successor be better than he is was just maddening
3) Plain and simple, scared of what Rodgers can do.

Don’t worry though, Skip Bayless is an idiot, so his opinion does not matter in the least!

by fedfan64 on Jan 24, 2012 7:29 AM EST up reply actions

Wasn’t he saying Rodgers wasn’t that good because he didn’t have to play from behind this year or something stupid like that?

Big mouth

Skip is always trying to go that extra step,the one right before an actual fight, with everyone. Flacco does what he can,a little slow in the pocket, but oh well. Put Skip in a line up and let the Ravens defense at em
