Jared Goff has the resurgent Detroit Lions on the doorstep of Super Bowl 58. Chances are, this might only be the beginning of a bright, competitive era in Detroit. So you’ll forgive him if he’s kind of above listening to hot takes about his football team that are often drummed up for attention.
During his weekly radio spot with 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit, hosts Doug Karsch and Scott Anderson asked Goff whether “bulletin board material” motivates the Lions in advance of their NFC title game date with the San Francisco 49ers. Goff clarified that it depends on who it comes from. When “Skip Bayless” was mentioned, Goff didn’t even entertain finishing the question.
He knew it was all unwarranted hot air.

Man, good for Goff. Here’s a rewind of his exact answer about even discussing Bayless’s opinions:
“Nah, I don’t care about anything he says,” Goff said. “You can stop now. Anything those guys say on daytime TV, you can skip over that.”
Goff knows some opinions are worth taking more into consideration. And he also knows some are just not even worth the trouble. Maybe it’s this kind of confident, focused mentality on what actually matters that has helped him take the Lions back to prominence.
Twitter loved hearing how Goff shut down a question about Bayless
