Fox Sports personality Skip Bayless’ whole career is built on being wrong and loud about it. Once he arrives at a take, he’ll steadfastly stick by it no matter how wrong it continues to be over time.
It’s his thing.
And you just know that New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis couldn’t wait to call out Bayless about being wrong once again.
After the Saints defeated the Seahawks last week, Davis spoke highly about his team’s effort on defense — as he should. Well, Bayless saw that comment and used it as an opportunity to suggest that the Saints would be in trouble against Tom Brady and the Bucs this week.
Demario Davis talking up the Saints "hard hat" D after tonight's game. We'll see how much he's talking after Brady visits Sunday.

Well, the Saints certainly had the last laugh, and Davis couldn’t wait to hit back at Bayless.

Basically right as the Saints got into the locker room after their 36-27 win over Tampa Bay, Davis took to Twitter and posted Bayless’ live reaction to Brady’s game-sealing pick 6.

I mean, that was just perfect.
The problem for us all, though, is that being wrong won’t deter Bayless from these kinds of takes in the future. But at least this time, Bayless learned a tough lesson. Davis 1, Bayless 0.
