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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019 on-air argument with Shannon Sharpe in which the former had to ask the latter to put his glasses back on.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would come on there because Stephen A. and I were friends. I didn\u2019t know Skip personally, and I\u2019m gonna be honest with you: Skip Bayless is not one of my favorite people,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the former wide receiver said on his \u2018Fully Loaded\u2019 podcast.<\/p>\n He went on to detail how he pushed back on Skip\u2019s praise of\u00a0Tim Tebow<\/a>, which earned him a personal shot from the latter.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re trading barbs and everything. We go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>he recalled<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cAnd then I just level said it and was like, \u2018Listen, if throwing the football is important in the\u00a0NFL<\/a>, Tim Tebow will never be a starting quarterback in the NFL.\u2019\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
