Former Michigan star torches Skip Bayless on Twitter
Published:
A former Michigan star is livid with FOX Sports television host Skip Bayless.
Well, who isn’t livid with Bayless? But former Michigan defensive standout Jourdan Lewis is especially fed up with the sports television personality.
Late Monday, Bayless tweeted out the following statement regarding Green Bay’s win over Dallas on Sunday, referencing Lewis’ small size as the recent for the Cowboys’ struggles against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers:
Without 6-1, 205-lb vet Nolan Carroll, Cowboys had to put 5-10 rookie JLewis on 6-2, 220-lb DAdams. Easy winning throw for ARodg.

Lewis caught wind of the tweet on Tuesday morning. And he wasn’t happy about what he saw. So the Dallas rookie fired back at Bayless, denouncing the TV host’s knowledge of football.
Height has nothing to do with it. If you really knew football you would know a back shoulder fade is technique. https://t.co/5DNn7VPhUm

Lewis isn’t the first professional athlete to call out Bayless on Twitter and he won’t be the last, either.
But what made Lewis’ response so great was that he countered Bayless’ attack with reasoning. Typically, most professional athletes just call him a “bum” and move on with their day.
This was a well-planned response by the former Michigan star.
