Let me say this one more time:

THE REST OF THE COUNTRY DOES NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK THAT THE KNICKS ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT!

IT IS NOT THE END OF THE FUCKING WORLD BECAUSE NEW YORK FUCKING CITY DOES NOT HAVE A FUCKING GOOD BASKETBALL TEAM!

COVER SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CREATE CONTROVERSIES IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD!

God, I'm fucking sick of hearing about how bad the New York Knicks are. The NBA has survived just fine without a marquee team in New York City. In fact, it makes me more interested in the NBA because David Stern hasn't intervened to make sure that New York is good (like the Patrick Ewing lottery rigging). Get over it.

When are we going to get some "The Arizona Cardinals and Kansas City Royals are embarrassments" stories too?

Smith's vocabulary word for today is 'usurp'...

This is the only thing Bayless and Smith are good at...If you want your ears to truly bleed, listen to Smith's radio show...yick...

I think Skip doesn't understand that it's not the NBA's job to make sure that NY has a competitive team. Going in like the ATF into Madison Square Garden wouldn't solve anything, Skippy.

This is a perfect example of the current state of the WWL; two loud-mouthed asshats whose egos are bigger than their paychecks.

By the way, is anyone watching the "Support the Troops" rally disguised as the Fox NFL Pregame show this morning?

God, Fox and this "Support Our Troops" and "God Bless America" garbage is more obnoxious than SAS and Skip.

And I am a proud American, and I support my troops. I just don't need it shoved in my face. That's all.

I love the way that these myopic pricks in the so-called "national" media think that the NBA is in some kind of Dark Ages because the dominant team is in the middle of nowhere, Texas.

If the Spurs played in New York City, Gregg Popovich would be greater than Red Auerbach, and the Spurs would get more press than the Patriots.

You know, "national" media, you can travel a little farther than the Five Boroughs and Long Island to get your stories. And Boston doesn't count either.

I am surprised that ESPN's resident racist Screaming A. Smith still has a job. The reason he won't say IT needs to be fired is because that would be putting a brother down and we can't have that.

The NBA was SO much better in the 90s, when Pat Riley and the Knicks were one of the best teams in the NBA.

I love unwatchable bar brawls disguised as NBA games, where the final score every night was 65-62.

We need more of that.

I thought it was disgraceful and puerile that Stephen A Hole...err...Smith made fun of "the vein poppin' outta your head."

Juvenile and an ad hominem attack...but that's ESPN...the worldwide leader in ruining sports.

It's already in evidence that monkeys work in BSPN's programming dept, given no human being could possibly think pairing Stu Scott, Stephen A. and Bill Walton for NBA Shootaround would be a good idea. Pairing up these two blowhards is true to form. I can't even bring myself to watch the clip. The only way I can deal with these people is to see a show with Scott, Smith, Walton, Bayless, Vitale, Ditka and Salisbury locked in a room with no food or water and left to fend for themselves. Sort of a Survivor for Type A personalities.

Skip Bayless is a little girl. Someday, it'll be revealed that Bayless and Mikey Greenberg are married to each other.....

There are so many good comments on here right now. I can't choose my favorite one

EVERYTHING I SAY IS IMPORTANT!!!! QUITE FRANKLY, I YELL ALOT!!! BUT I DO LOVE ME SOME CHEEZ DOODLES!!!! MMM,MMM GOOD!!!!!!

Does S.A.S. stand for Stupid Ass Shine?

In response to the comment at 2:26... I would actually take out Vitale from that room. Yes, he is loud and annoying but at least he enjoys the sports that he covers. Every other guy makes it look like its is privilege for us to see THEM every night and we should be thankful for their presence in our lives. Dicky V is just loud and Dukie Homer.

Skip Bayless really does seem like an ass.

What do you mean SEEMS like an ass?....

Good lord, let the terrorists hit this studio ASAP.
