Football Outsiders Poo On Skip Bayless Some More

Every successful enterprise needs a villain, and as Football Outsiders becomes more and more popular — their book just arrived at Deadspin World Headquarters and is being devoured with much haste, even as we type — their glee at picking apart ESPN "Cold Pizza" wax automaton Skip Bayless becomes more and more entertaining. This week's rant is about Bayless' typically thunderously vapid proclamation that the Patriots won't win the Super Bowl, and as much fun as the Outsiders have with Bayless, the educated message boards posters are having even more.

The sad thing is, even if the Pats are the clear favorites at, say, 25% chance to win it, there s still a 75% chance that he ll be right and be able to point at this pile of crap as a great accomplishment and brilliant foresight.

And "crap" is one of the nice terms.
