Skip on Rodgers’ “injury pattern”

The hilariously edited clip of Skip criticizing and praising went viral on Twitter at a very peculiar time. Interestingly, the most recent episode of Undisputed showcased Skip Bayless criticizing Rodgers and comparing him to Tom Brady. When Skip’s co-host, Shannon Sharpe spoke about Rodgers’ injury, Skip mentioned how this seems to be a pattern for the QB. Even though he admitted that he cannot attest to how injured Rodgers might be, he also mentioned that this is very typical of the QB. Skip also referred to the missed effort of connecting with his teammates before the season starts. He cited the example of Tom Brady and the amount of effort he had put into connecting with his receivers.
