ESPN First Take personality Skip Bayless is known to be factually incorrect a surprisingly large percentage of the time. So I decided to find some of the most ridiculous statements he’s made over the years and prove him totally wrong. Enjoy.————————————————————————————————————

Luck career stats: 48 games, 33-15 record, 12,957 Yds, 86 TD, 43 INT

“One day Robert Griffin III will be a better QB than Aaron Rodgers.”

“I would take Brandon Weeden in the top 10 before I would take Ryan Tannehill.”
