Skip Bayless is no stranger to controversial statements. In fact, Bayless is probably encouraged by ESPN to make outlandish claims with the hopes of drawing big numbers and viewers to their show, First Take. So, in another edition of Skip being Skip, the talking head, who happens to be a fan of Robert Griffin III, discussed RGIII's struggles during the Redskins' last game and took the whole matter somewhere it didn't need to go.

After the Redskins taking RGIII with the #2 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, we don't foresee the guy losing his job to a guy they took in the later rounds. Then, out of nowhere, Bayless pulled out the race card and things just got completely awkward.

Um, Skip, what the hell are you talking about? That's probably one of the dumbest things you've ever brought to the table. And trust us, there are plenty to choose from.
