Skip Bayless: Vasher's 108-yard TD return was dumb

Skip also said that the niners should not have tried to kick the field goal and that they should have just kneeled out the clock. What an idiotic comment

That's not as idiotic a statment. It was a 52 yarder in a monsoon. The chances of it going in were very close to zero. However, taking a knee is just as stupid, they should have tried a hail mary instead.

I agree with that, a 52-yard field goal into the teeth of a hurricane isn't smart. Kneeling the ball is retarded.

Also, this was on First and Ten today, not his column.

Hahahahaha, awesome picture. Mariotti looks like the stereotypical slob sportswriter. Chump.

Nedney had already knocked 3 FG's of shorter distances right down the middle (one taken off the board due to penalty). He dealt with the wind better than the other kickers/punters/long snappers & QB's.

This was not a bad decision to let him take a shot, seriously the chances of a block returned for TD or a play like Vasher's to happen is pretty low.

"He could get hit, drop the ball, and a 49er could pick it up and score a touchdown!"

By that "logic", shouldn't every play consist of the QB kneeling the ball? Can't take that chance that you're gonna fumble!

Die Skip.

I can't believe that there are people still willing to pay this man to say/write things like this.
