Tom Brady signed a contract “extension” Sunday, and the talking heads are all over it.

The New England Patriots quarterback reportedly agreed to a two-year deal, which, in reality, is somewhat fraudulent. The Patriots basically can rip up the contract after each of the next two years, meaning Brady and the only franchise he ever has played for likely will be back at the negotiating table next summer. For all intents and purposes, Brady is getting an $8 million raise and the Patriots are gaining roughly $5.5 million in cap space — that’s it.

But that hasn’t stopped the Brady worshipers — particularly Skip Bayless — from presenting the contract as an actual “extension” and reviving the “Brady deserves so much credit for always taking less” conversation.

That in and of itself would be whatever, but when the Brady situation is used as a weapon to beat LeBron James and similarly high-paid NBA players, we’ve really jumped the shark.

Check out some of this nonsense from Bayless:
