Honestly, I think Skip Bayless is nothing more than a professional troll but I think y'all are looking too much into a poorly thought out tweet. I didn't read it as nefarious. I think he was basically thinking out loud. I made a similar post earlier. Like how are they going to reschedule this game this late in the season even if they want to? He ended it by saying it feels like it really doesn't matter in the current atmosphere. It was basically just clumsily worded. He's a professional blowhard dickhead but I'm just not seeing the awfulness in that tweet.

Didn't they continue the UNC game after a ref collapsed a few years ago?

Damn. In other news, Ken Block died in a snowmobile accident today.

 

When it's your time it's your time.

 

This is a horrible thing that has happened but it happens every year in football just not always on National TV. 

It's still a very rare thing to happen. There's no reason people should retire, change rules or any other action. 

Leave it in a tie.

What a surreal night

This is just a pure copium way to go through life. So why bother to wear a seatbelt, look both ways before crossing a road, try to take care of yourself, etc? When it's your time it's your time, right? Hell, we can just go jump off a bridge and if it's not our time then I guess some miraculous intervention will save us.

Not really. You just don't live in fear.

So you take no safety precautions at all in life? If you truly believed that when it's your time it's your time then you wouldn't. There would be nothing you could do about it anyway so why bother?

The first volley in the NFL's attempted PR barrage has been fired.

That is not at all what he's saying. It's simply that you do the things you love and that bring you joy, control the things and risks within that that you can actually control, and don't let fear of what you can't control steal that joy.

What you're describing is reckless nihilism, and that ain't it at all.

For those kinds of words to come into someones head in the middle of a traumatic event comes off as incredibly insensitive. If he had a family member in this situation how would he react if someone just walked up and said that same sentiment to him? Disgusting in my opinion

That was an ordinary play with an extremely unlikely and unfortunate result. There is no one to blame and no reason to change anything. It was an awful event and hopefully Damar Hamlin recovers.

I mean then just don’t reply? Or attempt to articulate yourself better in the original reply. The topic was about rescheduling the game. I suggested they shouldn’t. The other poster agreed with me. 
 

I couldn’t tell if you were just being a jerk because the Panthers missed the playoffs, that this situation shook you up so bad you can’t possibly think two weeks ahead or if something else was going on. 
 

I’ll ignore the “intelligent” crap because you’re upset tonight. 

Okay so now that I'm calmed down, let me ask you a question :

Why would I say "F the playoffs" in a situation like this after everything I have posted (like boycotting the stupid sponsors, being annoyed by the fans in the crowd, etc.) that would make you think this was about the rescheduling of the game?

I couldn't care less about any of that or the playoffs for that matter.

A man is fighting for his life here and that takes Top Priority over any Football-related "concern" such as anything involving the Playoffs.  

 

Now as far as the first part of your response here....

You responding with "Huh?" without elaborating what you're "Huh"-ing about, was real crappy.

And you have the absolute nerve to tell me to attempt to articulate myself better after you put up THAT reply (huh?)?    How about practicing what you preach, hmm?

It’s pretty scary stuff seeing a fella having a hearty on live TV but some of you need to stop attacking each other over poo. A bloke lost his brother in law on here the other day and is showing more poise and composure than a few in here

Nothing of what he said was bad. Cool it.
