Skip Bayless says he's lost respect for Drew Brees

I watched that this morning. Drew "backpedaled" because he was probably told to by the PR guys. Lost respect? That's silly. I'd lose respect for someone who says something ridiculous and then refuses to make it right by apologizing or sticking to his emotional words regardless of all the professional advice he receives. Skip is a joke.

The thing about it was it was hardly even "backpedaling". The media just went to far with the comments as if Brees was declaring war on Goodell and Brees just explained why he said what he said. It's not like he "took it back" or something.

If he would have done that then I may have lost respect for him. Brees has nothing to backpedal about and only said he was responding to a question asked and that he didn't just come out and say those things about Goodell off the cuff.
