this is all I said. He doesn’t have sources any more because he doesn’t need to.

Journalists have sources and check in to learn new things. Skip goes on TV and shares his crazy opinions.

But Cowherd be hanging out with Sean Peyton and getting some info. Current and Former player consistently come on his show....and he's chopped it up with them in "green room".

Cowherd just an opinion guy too at this point. Was called racist in his ESPN days....but black players and black on air talent has gravitated towards him last several years.


I would expect Skip to be Colin Cowherd plugged-in so to speak.

Cowherd has relationships still.

Skip does not.

SAS is actually reporting and breaking stores once he leaves first take. He is also out making connections with people. Skip does none of that.

SAS ain’t what he was 10 years ago and is fringe at best, but he still a journalist. Skip has been done for 15 years.
SAS is not out there in the trenches as he used to be as he's made it clear on more than one occasion that he has higher aspirations outside of the sports world. Everything that SAS is out here doing these is for entertainment purposes, which you could make the same argument as Skip does.

SAS isn't even close to the NFL like that, so where would he have possibly gotten the Brady suspension and every single detail if someone at the league office didn't leak it out to him for their own agenda?
SAS doesn’t need to be in the trenches. He goes to a lot of functions and events and connects with people there.

Skip does his show, goes to the gym and goes home.

I agree with you on the NBA front, but the NFL is a completely different story. A non-football insider got access that information before everyone else who covered the sport. Of course, someone in the NFL gave him access to that information for their own agenda.

But I bet you SAS goes to nfl functions and events and has relationships with some players and execs. He isn’t Ian Rapaport, but he gets invited to go To high profile functions.

Skip doesn’t have any of that. People straight up do not like him.

Interesting. So skip is a glorified YouTuber like tickettv, dreamspro and those other talking heads at this point?.... but obvious difference in being of national celebrity.

skip has more experience, but his solo YouTube channel is not as good as him on tv with a debate partner. Skip is better at monologues when someone is sitting across the desk...him on camera alone like that day Shannon bailed had low energy and was less entertaining. Skip can't keep it interesting solo-dolo like Cowherd for some odd reason....it's weird.

You sure about that because we've seen publicly on more than one occasion that SAS couldn't get basic happenings of the NFL correct to the point that even his own co-workers even gave him the side eye :mjlol:

SAS is an NBA guy who shows up at NBA functions and events. That information that he got about Brady was from someone at the league office who wanted him to do their bidding. In fact, it wouldn't even surprise me in the slightest if Jerry Jones was his NFL leak with how always tip toes when it comes to giving him any criticism and not burn bridges.

He is at radio row every year for the Super Bowl and attends parties. You can find pics of this online.

Do you have evidence of any Skip contacts because this thread is about Skip, not SAS.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having sources if they are made public?
Do you have any evidence of Skip having any relationships in professional sports? Any evidence of Skip at sporting events? Any evidence at all? You doing a lot of deflecting and talking about everything else.

You don't have to necessarily do any of those things these days to get access to information breh. If someone wants you to leak information for them to serve a purpose, then they are going to provide you that information regardless of whether you show up to the sporting event or not.

The regular dude who first broke the Watson suspension number literally got the information from the league website, which is the same website that other NFL analyst mainly get their information from. If you lurk on Reddit, then a lot of these "breaking news" stories get broken well in advance by regular people.
