Skip Bayless is the ultimate troll on the ultimate stage. He finds a way to tweak sports fans on a daily basis whether his willing foil (and some say mirror image) Stephen A. Smith is there or not. Getting the best of Bayless is what some guests on their show probably live for and All-Pro defensive back Richard Sherman got a chance to do just that.
When Bayless attempted to stir things up by trying to debate the point that he wasn't better than New York Jets Darrell Revis, Sherman wasn't having it.
"Skip, whenever you address me as All-Pro Stanford graduate, because those are those are accomplishments, you can aspire to, but you'll never accomplish," Sherman said. "You have never accomplished anything."
Bayless is no newcomer to being under fire and didn't seem too shaken up asking Sherman the question "Do you think you're better than Revis right now?" Sherman avoided the question and continued his attack on Bayless.
"In my 24 years of life, I'm better at life than you," the Seattle Seahawk exclaimed.
Bayless, to his credit tried to keep it professional, but Sherman was not about to let up as Bayless asked again if Revis was better than him. In a rare moment in history, Stephen A. Smith was quiet...throughout the entire exchange. Now, that's having your partner's back.
"I'm better than you. I have nothing to say about him. I'm pretty much done," said Sherman. Of course, he wasn't.
Well, not before calling Bayless an "Ignorant, pompous, egotistical cretin...I'm gonna crush you." Sherman's been finding away to be the anti-Dale Carnegie as he hasn't been making friends or influencing people much lately.
He caused the Washington Redskins' Trent Williams to take a swing at him following Seattle's win over Washington and gained internet fame by using the annoying line "You Mad Bro" after mocking Tom Brady following a Week 6 win over the New England Patriots.
Trash talking, making fun of your opponents to the point where they insult you or want to take a swing at you.Sounds familiar.
Richard Sherman, you are Skip Bayless 2.0. Don't be surprised if you have a future at ESPN.
