Shannon apologizing had nothing to do with being forced into apologizing. He clearly realized he looked like a fool at the Lakers game. I saw it coming once I realized he wasn't tweeting about the NFL games that weekend as much as he normally would.
On a different note, for the brehs who actually watch the show, what is y'all biggest grievance with Skip? Personally, I'm over his shtick about NBA free throw percentage. He's really been pushing this "if you don't shoot 85% from the free line, you're a terrible free throw shooter" narrative for a couple of years now.
