Cris Carter has revealed having threatened to punch Skip Bayless in the face back when the veteran sports journalist was plying his trade at ESPN.
Carter, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and an eight-time Pro Bowler, discussed a near-incident he had with the former FS1 analyst that was quite similar to Bayless’ on-air argument with Shannon Sharpe in which the former had to ask the latter to put his glasses back on.
“I would come on there because Stephen A. and I were friends. I didn’t know Skip personally, and I’m gonna be honest with you: Skip Bayless is not one of my favorite people,” the former wide receiver said on his ‘Fully Loaded’ podcast.
He went on to detail how he pushed back on Skip’s praise of Tim Tebow, which earned him a personal shot from the latter.
“We’re trading barbs and everything. We go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,” he recalled. “And then I just level said it and was like, ‘Listen, if throwing the football is important in the NFL, Tim Tebow will never be a starting quarterback in the NFL.’
