Skip Bayless In Hot Water

Ohio State Football Fans will have something to cheer about other than the Buckeyes #1 ranking. A former NBA player filed a lawsuit Thursday against the Chicago Tribune and other media outlets over inaccurate reports in August that linked him to a sex crime in Florida.

Eddie Johnson, a Chicago native and former University of Illinois star who played 18 years in the NBA, works as a Phoenix Suns TV analyst. He was on vacation in Hawaii at the time and had nothing to do with the alleged assault on an 8-year-old girl in Ocala, Fla.

According to the lawsuit, sports commentator and former Tribune columnist Skip Bayless mistook the Suns' TV analyst for the Florida suspect while appearing on radio on "The Jim Rome Show."

Skip "Clueless" who frequently substitutes for Jim Rome, can spend a whole three hours ranting on how the Buckeyes are so overrated and how they never deserved their 2002 National Championship. He is still bitter that his beloved Miami Hurricanes lost to Ohio State in Fiesta Bowl to the Buckeyes. It appears if this lawsuit sticks, he go down the same path as his beloved 'Canes, the path to nowhere.
