Bayless On Artest

I've bagged on Skip Bayless a few times on this site. I think he's an attention-starved blowhard. I mean, good lord, the man's on Cold Pizza every day!

So, I've taken my shots at him. And he's deserved them. It's only fair then to point out when Bayless gets it right. His espn.com article on the Pistons-Pacers riot is a the best I've read. He's the only reporter I've seen who rightly points out that Artest never hit the fan he charged after in the stands. In fact, it probably wouldn't have gone any further if fans hadn't closed in and Stephen Jackson hadn't gone Rambo.
