[QUOTE="bozz_2006, post: 409894, member: 513"] Did you guys watch pro wrestling when you were kids? You had the good guys and you had the heel. Skip is the heel of ESPN. Skip is the Million Dollar Man. Skip's only purpose is to get you to cheer louder for the good guy. And he's masterful at it. ESPN wants you to hate Skip, because the more you hate Skip, the more you like the other guy. The more you hate the villain, the more you like the hero. And the more the villain gets crushed by the hero, the more buzz ESPN gets. Skip's gift is to argue a fallacy with sound reasoning. He's right that Rodgers hasn't shown any final drive, come-from-behind, heroics this year. He's right that he doesn't have a "signature" performance (I suppose...) He's right that Aaron hasn't had to put the team on his back and win any games all on his own. You want to argue with him all day about his [I]conclusion[/I] and all he does is keeps steering the conversation back to his [I]premises. [/I] Me - "SKIP, HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT TEBOW IS BETTER THAN AARON RODGERS?!?!?! THAT'S INSANE" Skip - "Has Aaron Rodgers won any games this season on the final drive?" ....and round and round it goes.
