Stephen A Smith unleashes the flutes on Dan Lebatard,Amin,Jemele Hill edit.. Dan responds and pushes Jemele infront of that smoke..stephen A responds

[jilla82]

SAS makes $13m a year and folks mad cuz he likes the company he works for

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

Dan acts sometimes like he is some high level act as if Highly Questionable was some high level intelligent show,like the best part of HLQ was Papi and them asking their guest the most ignorant or rumor based questions, and then him and Gotz show is trash to me but they have a fanbase on here...

and Dan trying to ask like HLQ wasn't a debate show is laughable.

and Dan just said with a straight face the other day that Herro is WAY BETTER THAN Maxey and he is talking about sports making people dumb

Dan response shows he knows Stephen A got him and he shows his crabs in barrel mentality by throwing Jemele Hill in the fire as if most of Stephen A criticism in that 25 min rant doesn't pertain to Dan who constantly talks about ESPN

he tries to wriggle out of responsibility by acting like he was intentionally trolling back then

he hosted PTI, the show that really kicked off all this debate bullshyt, several times but now he says he was mocking the format when he hosted. like dude could have refused to host if he felt this strongly about stupid TV lol

dan has been trying to frame his time at espn like he was some sort of subversive undercover agent but he contributed to the fukkery just like everyone else

HQ was a garbage show as well, but I don't recall it being a hot take factory like Undisputed or First Take. But to act like it was The Sports Reporrers or Outside the Lines is disingenuous.

He was spot on about SAS really being mad about what Jemelle said, he's sensitive about everyone thinking he's a c00n. Him saying he spends his off days thinking about how to make ESPN money doesn't do a whole lot to dispel that.

This makes no sense...Stephen A or any black person with a pulse or a soul should be sensitive if people think they are a c00n and Stephen A said he was mad about what Jemelle said because it is wrong for Jemelle to even play that card....

and I don't understand the whole he is a c00n or corporate shill for trying to make ESPN money... since it has worked out for him he is getting over 12 mil a year for doing something we DO ON HERE FOR FREE

Cliff notes of the Cliffs?

Smith is talking in circles. He acknowledged ESPN getting criticism but really didn't address it in a meaningful way. He's like the corporate middle manager at the job when employees lower than him bring valid criticism of work policies. "We hear you and we're listening" type talk that doesn't really mean shyt. Defends policies nobody really likes type talk.

 

[Still Benefited]

Stephen A loves jumping up & down about a show on a network he doesn’t own. I get being proud of your job but there are people on that network who get paid in his ballpark and do wayyyyyy less who have no opinions to give on defending the network they work for

He actually said "our network/"my network"

He will be in deep shyt once ESPN realizes they can put other people in his position at a discount. Hes not particularly funny,or clever although he mostly knows his stuff. Espn just still thinks hes the culture and not a token

Where is his WWE promo for Jemelle? People thinking he's a c00n hasn't caused him to re-evaluate how he's moving or the decisions he's making. Instead, he's running interference for Jerry Jones and Dana White and beating the drum for a company that doesn't give a fukk about him.

I get paid to post.

Your not making sense again my guy... the company pays him over 12 mil what are we talking and gives him huge TV time and other avenues on their platform... he is making life changing money talking SPORTS...

Again Dan tries to shyt on people while doing the same play he is beefing with Woj over the Dame and being a shill for portland while he is being a shill for Miami and Pat Riley because he has a relationship with them.. Tyler Herro is way better player than Maxey is a pure shill hot take if we ever heard one

I get paid to post.

Now hit me up on this so we can talk, i am trying to get paid too

There are people who make similar money to Stephen A that don't need to sublimate their whole personality and become an ESPN warrior to do it. He's a bootlicker. Well paid, but a bootlicker nonetheless.

RE: Woj/Dan, the expectations are completely different. Woj is in theory supposed to be an objective journalist. Dan is a known Miami homer. I don't think it's fair to compare them. The herro maxey thing is moronic. I don't think either will be “that guy” but dan is not able to speak objectively about the trade because he's so thirsty for Dame. But Woj is definitely carrying water for the team. People give Chris Haynes shot all the time for being dames go to media mouthpiece. Don't see the issue with woj getting grief as well.

I mean lol

You not wrong….. but think about it…. We only talking about this cuz it’s SAS.

If this was Rodger Davis making making this statement or in this position, do we reallllly care?

Do we even take the time to discuss or even have discourse with this?

I think not, but who knows!! Lol

Your right,but thats by force of habit as hes become a staple. But Skip is also a staple whos opinions people check for and debate about. But Skip been off t.v for about 30 days now. Is anybody really dying to hear another Skip take



If Skip never comes back the debate sphere would keep moving like nothing happened. Because ultimately theres alot of people you can turn into the source for hot takes.

And be honest,you watched this because it was posted on thecoli. But I doubt you wouldve searched out his channel to listen to his opinions. Unlike with other podcast you probably watch and enjoy.


But maybe more people enjoy his personslity,and sense of humor than Im giving him credit for. I be waiting for his longwinded ass to be done

SAS makes $13m a year and folks mad cuz he likes the company he works for

And tries to figure out how to make more money for them and himself on his days off

You can tell these boys never had a CAREER and only jobs

I hate to keep defending him, but players actually fukk with him.. I know it's crazy right... But you think he gets all this inside info directly from players cause they hate him? That retired players like Magic and Isiah and Jordan talk to him and call him a friend. That the second something happens with a player, and they have their own twitter, agent, pr team and any outlet they choose, they go to SAS to give it out.... Y'all think this is magic or coincidence?

Nah the man has 20 years of connections and one of the few black news people with it. You can bring up Woj but that's one sport and usually from the business people... Sas gets the scoop right from the players mouth, live on air sometimes, each and every time. And still works 15 hours a day.

No you aren't finding THAT anywhere and ESPN has a lot more number crunchers and talent pools than we can imagine. If they could replace it for cheap, they would in an instant. I don't hear y'all questioning what Pat McAfee does or what he brings or how easily he can be replaced though.. And he didn't even break Aaron Rodgers story

I dont watch him enough to say if hes getting insid info.


But he didnt get the Ja interview,Jalen did. Didnt get the Zion interview,Gil did. Didnt get the Dame story,irrc Chris Hanes did. Didnt tell us what Jordqn Poole said to Draymond,Camron did.Those were the biggest nba stories this year pretty much. Plus you know how ESPN works. Somebody else can get a story,but ESPN will give it to one of the bigger names to break it. If people enjoy his personality,maybe its just me.


I didnt say you could put any ol bum up there and we would watch. I just said I think theres alot of people who could be put up there in his place and people would still watch First Take. He talks loud and eggs people on to argue. Doesnt take rocket science,just takes being extra at all times. I guess commitment is a talent


Seems like a cool person off camera though. Didnt say I wanted him to get fired,just that he will once espn figures it out. I honestly havent seen enough of Macafee.

SA's skill is his mouth piece (pause)

very few people have the skill where they can be on the microphone alone and be entertaining.

people focus on the outlandish stuff...
but he's actually very talented.
