Skip Bayless responds to Tom Brady over NFL Draft comments: 'I'm about to call BS'

During an appearance on the Impaulsive podcast this week, Tom Brady issued a fiery response to Skip Bayless’ accusations about his role in the Raiders’ decision to pass on Shedeur Sanders. Brady said he was not part of any evaluation during the 2025 NFL Draft and refuted tweets Bayless sent throughout the weekend.

Friday, Bayless responded. The former ESPN and FOX Sports host posted a 25-minute video clapping back at Brady, doubling down on his stance the seven-time Super Bowl champion “vetoed” Sanders.

“Tom Brady has ‘called me out,'” Bayless said. “I guess he’s called me a liar. So, I’m about to call BS on Tom Brady, because Tom, you know and I know everything I said about you and Shedeur Sanders is obviously, exactly right.”

Bayless specifically pointed out the personal relationship between Brady and Sanders, which Brady noted during the interview with Jake Paul and Mike Majlak. The two remained close while Sanders played at Jackson State and Colorado.

In his argument, Bayless suggested the Raiders at least asked Brady about Sanders since he knew him so well. That’s when he said to quit “dodging the truth.”

“Tom Brady mentored and coached Shedeur Sanders all the way up through high school and into college, and through college – mentored and coached,” Bayless said. “Nobody out there, outside of Shedeur’s family, knows his game and his nature, his tangibles and his intangibles, better than Tom Brady. So we’re to believe that nobody in the Raiders organization at any point in time before the draft said, ‘Hey, Tom. What’s your opinion of Shedeur?’ And by the way, the Raiders did need a quarterback desperately badly – desperately badly – before they went out and acquired Geno Smith.

“But my point is, at no point neither Pete Carroll nor John Spytek nor Mark Davis said, ‘Hey, Tom. Give us your take on Shedeur.’ Stop it, Tom. Quit lying to us, Tom. Quit dodging the truth, Tom. I’m just going to say it, I’m calling bullshit on you because that’s utter bulls–t. The Raiders would be fools if they didn’t ask you your opinion of Shedeur. And obviously … you said no to Shedeur, because they did pass him seven straight times.”

While Brady didn’t directly call out Skip Bayless during his interview, his response came after one of the hosts mentioned the host’s name. But Bayless doubled down once again in saying he was accurate and encouraged Brady to “take me on.”

“In the end, it wasn’t like Brady actually called me out because he didn’t call me out by name on the Jake Paul podcast,” Bayless said. “He just said that, that was wrong. And by translation, of course, I’m wrong. But Tom did it with the big, broad brush. He condemned ‘the media,’ took the cowardly way out. Just take me on, Tom. I don’t care.

“I can take it, because I’m right. … I’d like to say, I’ve had a lot of integrity. I’d like to say, I’ve worked really hard at telling the truth and backing it up. That’s what I do and what I’ve done for these, however many years it’s been.”
