"We want to talk credentials?" he asked. "Name the time and place and I’ll show up. Tell me what level I didn’t work on. I worked as an intern. I worked at a high school. I worked at a college newspaper while I was taking 18 credits while on the basketball team. I climbed up this business. I’m an outspoken, loud ass mouth, black man. Who the hell do you think gave me an opportunity? I’m sorry, sir, this was earned, and every damn penny that I earned, that I have been blessed to have received in my career, I have earned." -Stephen A. smith

Social media has basically killed the interest in actually following "journalist"

I mean dude says "someone who killed a baseball player"

I dont gotta turn on espn to follow that. I can go on Twitter and know basically the full story in a minute and move on with my day.

shyt aint aint bringing in views anymore.

What they Should be blaming is years of teaching business only goal is to maximize profits

They dont give a fukk about integerity anymore, if it aint making money, it is of no use to them. :manny:

Stephen A hitting back at the :mjpls: crowd who were mad he wasn't fired.

Stephen A. responds to his critics

He is right. Most people talk about his First Take career and ignore that he was one of the only black columnists in America. He also broke tons of stories.
