Yahoo: Stephen A. Smith flipped off Skip Bayless during ESPN’s ‘First Take’

"Smith asked, "Skip, why you flickin' the papers in your hand." He then raised the offending finger and kept it up for a little more than a second. Nobody on either set seemed to notice and the segment loudly continued."

as far as I'm concerned. I had been switching over to the Dan Patrick show but Time Warner no longer carries the channel that DP was on in my area so I find myself putting up with First Take because let's face it, it's still better than Maury or the View.

Skip Bayless deserves to have his ass kicked all the way to Denver and back for his nauseating sucking up to Teblow. He sucks mule dick.

Maybe he asked her permission but, geez,using that to make a point in a sports piece.

The Times Herald went out of business twenty years ago and this column must have been printed about 25 years ago. I don't recall the subject at all but I was flabbergasted when he dropped this little tidbit.

What a guy.
