Fear not, Bayless lovers (or haters), because he's still going to be bringing his red-hot takes to Twitter. In memory of his tenure at ESPN, here are our favorite dumpster fire tweets:
Back when the Tim Tebow love was still running strong:
You'd better believe I'm taking Tebow over ARodg in last 2 mins. I've SEEN Tebow do it again/again/again. ARodg hasn't had many chances.

When Austin Rivers was a better option than Bradley Beal:
Underrated: Austin Rivers. Has starpower. Overrated: Bradley Beal. Just didn't SEE it enough.

When Robert Griffin III wasn't a shell of himself thanks to injuries and Andrew Luck wasn't leading his team to incredible playoff comeback wins.
I'll say it AGAIN: Give me RG3 over Luck - any day, any night, any year, any career.

When Josh Freeman (remember him?) looked like a better option than NFL MVP Cam Newton.
Long term give me Josh Freeman over Cam. Better leader, more consistent passer, more clutch, more poised under fire, more careful with ball.

We'll just let you digest this...
Manti Te'o: the next Ray Lewis.

When Bayless reached peak First Take:
If Texans would take Romo for Manziel, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Romo will tease w/ near-greatness then break your heart. Manziel=winner.

About making them look foolish:
To all the old-school analysts who say Manziel will be a bust: He'll take great pleasure in making you look extremely foolish.

LeBron could leave Cleveland again and still have more fans than Manziel.
Johnny Football will one day be bigger in Cleveland than his buddy LeBron ever was.

Nope, nope, nope, nope.
The Houston Texans will forever regret it if they do not take Johnny Manziel with the No. 1 overall pick. He will haunt them.

This one didn't work out either.
Derek Fisher will prove to be a much better NBA head coach than Steve Kerr.

Thanks for the memories, Skip!
