And Just Like That, Skip Bayless Has Ended James Harden's Career

Listen. We're just a few hours away from the Phillies playing in game 3 of the NLCS. The Eagles may have played like shit against the Jets last weekend, but they're still 5-1 on the season and wearing their kelly green jerseys for the first time on Sunday night. There's absolutely nothing I hate more than giving James Harden even an ounce of my attention at the moment. 

With that being said…we may be nearing the conclusion of this whole ordeal. Not because the Sixers are going to trade James Harden. Not because James Harden is finally going to be an adult and show up to work. But because Skip Bayless just stuffed this man in a locker and he might have to hang up the sneakers for good after this. 

The truth always cuts the deepest. It's like a samurai sword. So sharp, so lethal, and it all happens so quick that you barely even feel it. We could spend weeks and months up here slowly cutting away at James Harden with a butter knife. But Skip Bayless decided to go for the kill with one fatal blow. LOSER. Plain and simple, cut and dried.

All James Harden can do after this is take a look in the mirror, realize that he is, in fact, a loser, and call it quits. Nobody would miss him in the slightest. The guy is just getting dunked on left and right here, so it might be for the best. 

Anyway, like I said I don't want to concern myself with James Harden for anything longer than 5 minutes out of the day. All I'll say is that when Skip Bayless starts calling out a Philly athlete and everyone's reaction in town is "hell yeah, Skip", that's when you know it's time to hang it up for good. Maybe you can open up your own nightclub in Houston or something. They say that if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.
