Vs Richard Sherman:

With Sherman recently reported to be in “deep talks” with Amazon about a broadcasting role, Bayless thought it was a good time to rehash their infamous feud.

According to Bayless, Sherman’s representatives put the request in for the star cornerback to join an episode of First Take in 2013. When an agreement was reached, it was done so with the caveat that Bayless and Stephen A. Smith would keep the conversation to offseason football, steering clear of the cornerback’s trash-talking controversies.

Bayless, supposedly expecting to talk football with Sherman, was promptly attacked on his own show by the second-year NFL star.

Richard Sherman:

Let’s not act like Bayless is completely innocent, however. He may not have started an argument with Sherman at that moment, but the polarizing sportscaster has been known to go after athletes and go after them hard, sometimes with personal insults.

Bayless has mocked athletes he doesn’t like with name-callings such as Russell Westbrick, Queen James, and Bosh Spice.

If an athlete is attacked and discredited for weeks, months, or years by Bayless or any sports talker, it’s hard to fault them for taking their shot as soon as they get an opportunity to do so. Sherman got his shot at Bayless in 2013 and he made the most of it.

Ripping:

The three-time All-Star had held out after requesting a trade, while the Sixers took their time unloading him, waiting for a trade market to take shape. Things got ugly with the sides squabbling over whether he was owed his salary.

Simmons never saw game action with the Nets, sealing his lost season. He received an epidural for his back and later underwent surgery.

Harden was solid with the Sixers but not quite the difference-maker they were hoping he would be. The team lost some important depth players in the Simmons trade, in sharpshooter Seth Curry and reserve center Andre Drummond.
