Agree that Dak is courageous & him coming out undoubtedly helped others. But Bayless’ job is to generate controversy because ESPiN (Lol) doesn’t talk about how the games are played, just noise & snowflake issues. Most of us turned it off years ago anyway & anyone who takes ESPiN seriously is making a mistake. It’s owned by Disney who’s trying to change the subject off social justice & other issues that they use for ratings before their own dark past is revealed.

@GSP hunter Depression because of isolation due to a pandemic is completely different from clinical depression. Skip acknowledged that his remarks were based on the presumption that Dak's depression was because of the pandemic. It has now become clear that his depression stemmed from his brother's suicide. Skip's comments were insensitive because depression in all forms is real, but you cannot assume that he understood the scope of his mental anguish when he had no idea what he was going through. Unless Dak was diagnosed with depression, it is NOT clinical. Having feelings of depression or distress during taxing mental and emotional times in your life isn't the same. I believe Skip understood that.

Skip didn't really listen (because he had his opinion and didn't think it was severe) but he is no doctor and he certainly don't decide that a "mild depression" can become severe or not. That's for Dak doctor to decide.

Seems like they are being rolled out by handlers/donors/sponsors to socially engineer their followers or more suggestible people into diagnosing themselves as depressed too. This ensures at least another generation of people hooked on antidepressants/antipsychotics/psychotropics...and a large percentage of which do not match the brain chemistry to benefit these types of drugs. We already have massive over prescribing and lazy misdiagnosing (sponsored by big pharma) as is. Now we gotta hear every hundred millionaire and billionaire from michelle obama to oprah tell us that even when you live a life of extreme privilege with everything at your fingertips, its still normal to feel opressed and depressed. Its an agenda to MAKE people depressed. To pass it on like an airborn disease into the psyche of others. Dak prolly doesnt even know hes being used in it. Prolly just got asked to make a statement on mental illness in the covid era not knowing it was part of a larger agenda.

My niece took her own life in 2009. She too, like Dak's brother, was 31. She had Postpartum Depression. I wish I could have helped her.

Those people NEVER apologize when it comes to disrespecting black people, knowing Skip's track record I'm not surprised at what he said. That wasn't an apology, and ESPN should've suspended him immediately like they did SAS. Skip has the "complexion for the protection" so nothing will happen to him. Shannon, you dropped the ball my brotha, you should've ate his ass up for those cowardly comments. 🤬🤬🤬

I think Skip misunderstands "depression". He seems to think it's just feeling sad unless it's clinically diagnosed. I hope he can get himself educated on this matter and truly come to understand it.

It's crazy, I'm a die-hard Chief's fan and have never really cared for the cowboys. I mean, I liked Aikman and Smith but not a huge fan of the team. After Dak spoke about his struggle, he joined that list of Cowboys I like.🤷🏿‍♂️

So important this man is coming forward. Men listen up!! Therapy helps, especially now! Your family needs you...consider therapy if you need it. It helped me a lot.

There was no apology here. He clearly has never talked to people with depression and doesn't understand how it works. Its not as easy as asking for help and statements like the one he made are the reason so many people don't ask for help. Being called weak or a poor leader. He literally shamed a man for sharing his struggles and being open and then says he cares for others with depression and all people should share their struggles and be open. He literally doubled down on his points. He honestly should be fired. Not just for this one take but the awful takes he has been making his whole career.

I’m a Dallas fan, I couldn’t care less about being the qb of the Cowboys if my brother committed suicide.. Skip,..Talk about not having your priorities straight...It’s no different that these idiots who will talk about whether a black man had committed a petty crime instead of that he was killed by the cop. If Dak said that he doesn’t care to play football anymore after his brother died, I’d have no criticism. Because we don’t know how close they were.

Skip is asked daily to speak his mind. He just that. Gotta chill out. And skip has a point. Hes right, if dak was depressed why is he exposing himself 6 months later right before he tries to lead his team to wins. Dak should step away if hes not feeling right. Still very young. Shouldn't add another burden on himself if hes not 100% committed. Say now hes going into the season out of shape and mentally out of focus the cowboys will lose and itll all be on his shoulders.

By Dak speaking out. Maybe, just maybe there was a fan watching who was battling their own demons alone, maybe hearing Dak gave them the strength to talk to someone. That's amazing, Skip has no idea.

This is why people that suffer depression don't speak... people think that having depression is so easy to get over... Skip remarks shows it

Can't find a stephon a Smith show on your channel

Sooooo you cut the two interviews and spliced them together lol making them look like one interview?

People lose family members every day. But life goes on. I've lost my Grand parents, My parents and one of my two brothers. Man up, and do your job, or give back the money and retire if you can't.

Skip's right in the real 🌎 is enemies will try to use that against you so in some cases is best to discuss that privately

If he’s public about his depression, and can STILL rise above it.. wouldn’t that make your teammates be even MORE inspired by you??

Dealing with depression will ultimately make him a better person, quarterback, and teammate. It makes you stronger. Period.

There is no reason for him to apologize or for any of these people to apologize for their opinions I believe the sensitiveness that is rampant in today's society is absolutely ridiculous. From Drew Brees apologizing for his stance regarding American flag to this is ridiculous. We all know how absolutely brave it was for Prescott to come forward just as we know how ridiculous Bayless stance is. Depression is perhaps the worst of all illnesses.

Accountability Skip that's all we need. Take it next time!

Also NFL will never be dead

Skip spoke the truth...seek help but don’t interview and say how depressed you are. Instead, Get help and get yourself well so you can inspire others around instead of spreading depression. Also, he has family and friends to share with, why does it need to be so public?

Skip wasn't wrong.

Imagine if Skip could say what he really wants too, they make him stay correct. He would say way more if those checks stopped

I’m definitely not defending Skip but people are twisting up what he said.. The man said he doesn’t believe that someone like a QB should come out publicly with that an that was his argument he didn’t say anything like depression is bogus or a sign of weakness and didn’t call him any bad names or nothing.. it was skip being skip and saying that Dak should of kept out of the public he didn’t say he should of kept it to himself and bottle up an deal with.. big difference he said that he should seek help from a professional and even talk to a close friend or family or teammate.. I get what Skip is saying bc now opposing team player can try to use that to get inside Daks Head during game time.. do I agree with skip?? No bc I believe this subject matter shouldn’t even been up for debate and I blame Fox for that for them to even suggest these 2 bring this up bc everyone expects Skip to say something stupid bc of his tv personality.. Fox next time don’t debate a subject like this it’s sick

Skip don’t apologize or twist your comments just go with it and don’t spin

Perception is everything..skip didn't say anything that isnt true...harsh but true. That said, they should've had way more wherewithal and left that topic alone. The day it was, the social climate we are in, etc...just a dumb decision to talk about it. If u bring that topic up, anything besides compassion will be deemed cruel. Skip should know better...

Dammnn

Just say you we're wrong skip. It's phisically imposible for you? Your opinion about not talking about it as a leader Is very valid un a certain point of View but you as a massive comunicator have a responsability of help fighting the perception sane people have about this diseases (same as yours)

Listen even great leaders aren't perfect. It doesn't make you less of a man to admit your struggling with an issue. If anything it makes you human. No one is exempt from problems in life.
