Skip Bayless is not letting Tom Brady off the hook anytime soon for not drafting Shedeur Sanders with the Las Vegas Raiders. In a fiery rant, the veteran sports contributor went full Kamehameha on the legendary quarterback.

Fans always love a good rant, and they got one earlier today when Bayless posted a 25-minute-long video on X, bashing Brady for vetoing Sanders’ move to Sin City.

Tom Brady has called me out… [Tom has] called me a liar. So, I’m about to call BS on Tom Brady, because Tom, you know and I know everything I said about you and Shedeur Sanders is obviously, exactly right.

Skip Bayless said

Bayless loves Brady as a player. But he couldn’t accept the 47-year-old ignoring Sanders, even though the pair shared a connection. According to Skip, Brady mentored Deion Sanders’ son through high school, and when he went to college at Jackson State and then Colorado.

From his point of view, if anyone knows Sanders’ capabilities as a talented quarterback, then it’s Tom Brady. So it shocked Bayless to the core when the Raiders passed on the 23-year-old even though they were in the market for a quarterback.

Nobody out there, outside of Shedeur’s family, knows his game and his nature, his tangibles and intangibles, better than Tom Brady. So, we’re to believe that nobody in the Raiders organization at any point in time before the draft said, ‘Hey, Tom. What’s your opinion of Shedeur?’ And by the way, the Raiders did need a quarterback desperately badly.

Skip Bayless remains unimpressed with Tom Brady indirectly calling him out

Brady was a special guest on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast recently. He spoke about all kinds of subject matter, and Sanders’ draft slide was part of it as well.

The former Patriots and Buccaneers under center claimed he had a negligible role in drafting players for the Raiders. “I wasn’t a part of any evaluation process,” Tom Brady revealed.

He even texted Sanders after day one ended, encouraging him to stay strong.

Whatever happens, wherever you go, that is your first day. Day two matters more than the Draft. I was 199… Use it as motivation, you are gonna get your chances, go take advantage of it.

Tom Brady said

While Brady was trying to cheer Sanders through text messages, Bayless had unleashed a scathing attack on the former NFL MVP on Xr.

It is now pretty clear [that] Tom Brady, who mentored Shedeur, told the Las Vegas Raiders NOT to take Shedeur.

Skip Bayless wrote

Brady was aware of Bayless’ statement, and in return, he fired back with an indirect jab.

The problem with media [is that] everyone can just say whatever the f*** they want and get away with it. It’s kind of unfortunate, because there actually used to be a lot of integrity in the media.

Tom Brady said

The Raiders were one of two franchises that drafted multiple quarterbacks this year. Montana State quarterback Tommy Mellott was first off the board, followed by North Dakota State’s Cam Miller. John Spytek, the Raiders’ general manager, revealed that Brady is a big admirer of Miller.

He liked the way he threw it, his technique, throwing from the ground up and his motion. And he thought he had the potential to improve.

The Browns were the other team that drafted two quarterbacks. In addition to drafting Sanders in the fifth round, they selected Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel in the third round, which shocked everyone.

Everyone will keep a keen eye on the quarterback battle in Cleveland. As for Bayless, fans had better be ready to witness more rants against Brady in the future.
