Jared Goff, the quarterback for the Detroit Lions, isn’t worried about Skip Bayless as he gets ready to play the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship this coming weekend.
On Tuesday, Goff began his weekly appearance with noon presenters Doug Karsch and Scott Anderson on 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit. When the interview was coming to a finish, the quarterback was asked if the team cared about bulletin content.
Depends what it is, whatd’ya got?” Goff asked. But before Karsch could even finish uttering the name “Skip Bayless,” Goff quickly dismissed the FS1 debate host.
“Nah, I don’t care about anything he says,” Goff said garnering a laugh from the Detroit radio show. “You can stop now. Anything those guys say on daytime TV, you can skip over that.”
Bayless offered the potential bulletin board material on Twitter, not his daytime TV show Undisputed, but point taken. After Detroit beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday afternoon to advance to the NFC Championship game, Bayless was quick to dismiss the accomplishment by tweeting, “Congrats Lions. You have won the right to get blown out at San Francisco. But hey, great year.”
Can you imagine having more important things to do than worry about daytime TV hosts? Tell that to Micah Parsons, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green or Steve Kerr. Goff, however, seemed legitimately unaffected by Bayless. Maybe he would have been interested in the bulletin board material if it came out of San Francisco, but it doesn’t seem like the Lions are going to be pinning a picture of Bayless’s tweet on the wall of their locker room as a motivational tactic.
Following the interview, Karsch stated that he simply intended to inquire broadly about the bulletin information and had no intention of bringing up Skip’s name with Goff. However, Goff pressed Skip Bayless to join the discussion by inquiring about the material’s source. Fortunately for all of us, the quarterback’s reply was outstanding.
