data-mm-id=”_8uetix97m”>One of the things we like to think about is how early in the morning Skip Bayless awakes to do his best thinking and cardiovascular exercise. One has to get up at Today Show host hours to fight like hell to take a small market share away from First Take and there can't be any days off. Time zones create a hilarious reality where the 71-year-old contrarian has to get worked up to a fever pitch before most people in Los Angeles are eating breakfast, ranting and raving about whatever topic in sports might yield a short-lived social bump. Today it was the Philadelphia Eagles on the heels of their thrilling overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills, which ran their season record to 10-1. Once again Nick Sirianni's team pulled a rabbit out of their hat and beat a really good football team after trailing. Once again they capitalized on opportunities. And once again, Bayless is not about to confront the enormous elephant in the room — that the Eagles are either the best or second-best team in the NFL. Because they way he sees it, they've simply played "the luckiest four games in NFL history." It's a pretty amazing claim considering the long and illustrious legacy of the league and there simple fact that there's not a single resource available to fact-check something like this. His two-minute rant, which doubles as a very public coping session regarding his beloved Dallas Cowboys, took a hell of a lot out of him. All to convince … whom, exactly?“The Eagles just played the luckiest 4 games in NFL history!”@RealSkipBayless is astonished by the Eagles OT win vs. Bills pic.twitter.com/TqHie1KrF4— UNDISPUTED (@undisputed) November 27, 2023Man, I don't know what to tell you. Sports happen! Good teams win games when they don't play well. Great teams win even more games when they don't play well. That's what makes them stand out from the pack. Bayless can tick through every single mistake the Eagles' opponents have done but it's all a bit silly when Philadelphia has made a laundry list of errors themselves to be behind the 8-ball so often. Look, I am a Detroit Lions fan and have been rooting pretty hard against the Birds over the past several weeks as well. It hasn't been fun to watch them snatch victory from the jaws of defeat over and over and over. But they have and I have no choice but to respect that. There are 32 teams in the NFL and at least one of them has to get some credit. It may be crazy but the one with the best record and most impressive résumé deserves at least that.

Stefano Pioli insisted Milan were not distracted by Wednesday s decisive Champions League meeting with Salzburg during their demoralising Serie A loss to Torino.
Koffi Djidji and Aleksey Miranchuk scored in quick succession in the first half as Milan collapsed to a 2-1 defeat in Turin on Sunday.
Junior Messias got the Rossoneri back in the contest following a defensive mix-up after the break, but the Serie A champions never looked likely to complete a comeback on a chastening outing.
Milan will approach the European clash with Salzburg requiring just a point to join Chelsea in qualifying from Group E, but head coach Pioli is certain that was not on their minds.

Morgan De Sanctis believes Roma have the strength in depth within their squad to compete in three competitions this season.
Roma made a flying start to the 2013-14 campaign, winning 10 consecutive matches and conceding just one goal in the process.
Rudi Garcia s men eventually fell away, however, and finished 17 points behind a dominant Juventus outfit in Serie A.
Defeated in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia by eventual winners Napoli, Roma could at least console themselves with a second-placed finish, which secured a return to the UEFA Champions League.
With the club back in Europe s premier competition for the first time since the 2010-11 season, De Sanctis is backing the side to challenge on all three fronts.
We will see what will happen be…
Bournemouth went down to a last-minute winner against Manchester City on Saturday afternoon, losing 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium after looking destined for a well-earned draw.
The defeat sees them in the relegation zone going into the international break, leaving the manager with a lot to ponder. So are Bournemouth in trouble this season?
Bournemouth have been notorious slow-starters
Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth side are currently 18th in the Premier League without a point to their name after three games. There may be some worry given the Cherries’ slow start to the new season but it’s actually been a common occurrence since their promotion to the top-flight.

Former Inter president Massimo Moratti believes new coach Frank de Boer is attempting to build something at the club, despite a slow start to the campaign.
Now Inter s honorary chairman, Moratti relinquished full ownership of the club in 2013 after overseeing a successful period for the Italian giants, who claimed five Serie A titles, four Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana triumphs, as well as winning the Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Cup during his 18 years at the helm.
Roberto Mancini s second spell in charge came to an end in the close season and Moratti has urged the board to fully support De Boer, who won the Eredivisie four times in succession as a coach with Ajax.
