Skip Bayless dramatically tossed a Dak Prescott jersey in the trash and fans mocked him for it

Totally normal behavior.

There was once a time when Skip Bayless was considered among the top sports journalists in America. That time is long gone, and Bayless has traded his sportswriting career in for a life of fake debate and performative outrage.

It got especially cringey on Sunday night.

Bayless claims to be a huge Dallas Cowboys fans. Despite the Cowboys failing to reach a conference title game in every season since 1996, Bayless has found ways to buy into the Cowboys. But when Dak Prescott had a dismal showing in Sunday’s NFC divisional round loss to the Niners, Bayless *really* needed to show that he had seen enough of Dak.

He threw Prescott’s jersey in the trash … sort of.

I’m sorry. That’s it. I’ve had it with Dak.pic.twitter.com/1EHRUg8mXe

So, Skip has pulled this staged stunt before. Back in 2019, he threw away (and later retrieved) his Ezekiel Elliott jersey from the garbage. Of course, the whole gesture would carry more meaning if Bayless didn’t remove the bag from the trash can. If he wanted to make a statement and ruin a jersey he already purchased, he should have thrown it away in a trash can with actual garbage in it.

But nothing about Bayless is genuine, so we all know he removed that jersey from the trash can the moment the video stopped.

Fans were not impressed with the tired stunt … or his kitchen.
