Renowned TV personality Skip Bayless is once again under negative limelight for his ‘brat-like’ ultimatum to the Eagles. On Saturday night, the Philadelphia Eagles demolished the New York Giants 38-7 to reach the NFC Championship game where they’ll face the winner of the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers.
Bayless is a huge Cowboys fan and often gets into trouble for his ‘bold’ and ’emotional’ statements about Dallas. After the Eagles defeated the Giants, Bayless sent an ultimatum to the Eagles. The two teams from the NFC East have a small rivalry of their own. The Eagles finished first in the division while the Cowboys finished second. They have met each other twice in the regular season this time and have won a game each.
In their first meeting, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott missed the game due to an injury, while Eagles QB Jalen Hurts missed out for the second time. Bayles took to social media to say that the Cowboys will see the Eagles next week in Philadelphia with both teams having their QB. He claimed that at full strength, the Cowboys are a better-placed team than the Eagles.
HEY, EAGLES: The Cowboys will see you next weekend at your place. This time we will have our starting QB and so will you. But at full strength, we are a little better than you. You'll see. Bye, Eagles, bye.

To put things into perspective, the Cowboys haven’t even qualified for the NFC Championship game. They will face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night in the divisional playoffs where they will enter as the underdogs. Beating the Niners will be a huge positive for the Cowboys and here is Bayless, getting ahead of time thinking about the Championship game. Fans on social media slammed Bayless for his comments and mocked him for being unrealistic and getting overboard with things.

The Cowboys, who got a pretty good win over the Buccaneers last week, will face the 49ers in the divisional playoff. The winner of the game will then face the top seeds, the Eagles, in the NFC Championship game next Sunday.
