Worst Journalist

I say Stephen A. Smith. Hands down. The man is insufferable.

Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless have to be the absolute worst. I think the problem with Bayless is that he seems to go out of his way to get under people's skin. It's like he knows what the popular opinion is, and supports the opposite to get a reaction. Stephen A is just loud and obnoxious, never brings anything constructive to the table.

If we're talking columnists then my vote is Phil Rogers (Chicago Tribune). As for talking heads, a lot of ESPN personalities have driven me away from their sports coverage.

Skip Bayless. I honestly find it hard to believe that he believes the words coming out of his own mouth. I think he's just a blowhard to get a rise out of people. Not a true journalist, just a professional wind-up artist.

I gotta go with Jim Rome on this one.

Personally, I can't stomach Chris Berman.  He is an obnoxious blowhard.  At one time he was good, now he is awful.

Does Skip write anymore? Or is he just a talking-head now. Either way, the guy is brutal.

I'll add Peter King.

How has Rick Reilly not been mentioned yet?

First of all, calling these clowns journalists is a real slap in the face to the folks in this world that really ARE journalists.  These guys are TV personalities at best no different than Jerry Springer or any of the Kardashians for lack of a better example.

Next, this needs to be broken out in to two categories: local and national with Michael Hunt winning the local poll with 99.88% of the vote.

I find Stephen A Smith mildly entertaining. At least he makes me laugh. Skippy Bayless is a complete waste of space. He simply picks the opposite of every argument...and does it so annoyingly. He needs a good punch in the face. I used to watch Cold Pizza (now First Take) most mornings. Now, I've stopped since it has become the Skippy Show. Hey ESPN, when it comes to Skippy, less is more. Just a smug, condescending fossil.

A few months ago, espn.com posted behind-the-scenes videos of the First Take cast. Skippy's video was so sad and pathetic. He lives in a crappy apartment that looks like a dorm room. All he does is watch sports (and the occasional movie). Also, he plays this silly game every night where he tries to bounce a rubber ball off a light switch. If he doesn't do it, he gets up in the wee hours and continues until he finally hits it.

Wow. Keep living that full and vibrant life, Skippy.

Excellent choice
Yeah, he is a real nut case.  Ever try listening to his radio show (does he still have one)...?

lab_warrior

Mitch Albom, mostly for his dry heave inducing, Hallmark card, wet-fart, chiche filled books.



Dan Shaughnessy, who still never resists an opportunity to turn everything Boston sports into a woe-is-us/Curse of Babe Ruth BS.



Gregggggggggggggggg Easterbrook, who always lets us know just how much smarter he is than the rest of us.  And that every team in the NFL needs rosters full of undrafted SCRAPPY, non glory boy free agents. 



I maybe, sorta, think Peter King, too.  He leads sportswriters in wafflishness.  Maybe I'll decide after downing this next Shock Top & venti latte.

He's in a different league all together.

Agree...Stephen A..if you can appreciate him for what he is - a drama king - is entertaining.  Skip Bayless is just a dweeb..period.
