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

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Posters in here are giving him a pass, but it's obvious what he's doing. He's throwing his sports buddies and friends under the bus to further his own hype and agenda and getting people catching unintended strays in the process.

He needs to tone it down because people in that circle he wants to be in take note of those type of things and want no part of another Charlamagne or Wendy Williams which he's steering towards. He's setting himself up to crash and burn and it didn't help how whiny and thirsty he was looking a while ago when bringing up not getting invited to the party as you saw no one else in sports or entertainment take that route.

In his defense, people have been taking shots at him in the media, social media and in print for years. And it’s been pretty disrespectful.

Lebetard saying he’s the worst thing to happen to sports, etc. is the same BS a lot of the NBA media nerds and journalists have been spewing for a long time. If Stephen A. wants to respond and use them as a springboard at the same time, so be it. He was quiet for way too long in my opinion.

It's fine to respond, but don't have other people catching strays in the process. Bomani would be well within his right to put SAS on blast for airing out his personal business like that and SAS would catch feelings quickly if he did. How SAS is talking, he's

Even the clip of him cursing out one of his guest a few days ago came off as funny, but corny and try hard as no one else mainstreaming or wanting to be mainstream is out here doing that type of thing.

To his credit, he’s at least using the platform and putting pressure on his bosses to get Irvin back on air.

I don’t think Stephen was referring to ESPN, but rather his HBO show being canceled.

Even if he was let go from ESPN, I don’t think that’s anything for him to be upset about. I assumed Bomani was let go anyway.

He was referring to ESPN because he used the same language with Bomani that he acknowledged with Key, Max and those other talent that got let go as part of the layoffs as well.

It is something for him to potentially be upset about it because that information hasn't been made public as Bo has been on "vacation" and just showed up on Foxworth's podcast last week. Bo hadn't announced it himself no one else in the media hadn't either.

Damn you must have not really watched since then, SAS isn’t like that at all.

He honestly didn’t like working with Max.

But his basketball talk with JJ Reddikk, Jwill, Mad Dog and company is actually entertaining— Perkins is whatever

But they actually have in-depth talks now since they actually have former players in the debating rotation instead of just trying to give hot takes

Perk the goat. No carry the hell on.

Dan used to always talk shyt about ESPN while he was there. Also Dan was on sports reporters. One of the first debate shows, and he was on pti and a guest host. Stu said it best they both sold out lol.

 

[Rick Fox at UNC]

Didn't watch or read any of that, I saw Jemele Hill's name and just wanted to mention.

She made watching and listening to Michael Smith, one of my favorite sports personalities, unbearable and ultimately ruined his career. She's just unlikable and corny.

I think Stephen A gets so triggered by this because he has a bit of annoyance that the odds are this will be what people say about his legacy when he’s old and retired.

Like we all know history won’t be kind to Skip Bayless’ legacy. But Stephen’s ego is not going to like that people will group him in the “destruction of sports discourse” history books.

I think Stephen A. gets triggered when people start implying that he's a c00n or not "adequately Black" like Jemele did or T.O. did.

Remeber, Max had to go after that shyt.

I mean he didn’t/doesn’t do himself any favors with the Jerry Jones and Dana White situation with the lack of energy he had for them compared to the other stances he’s made over the years against black athletes. Even worse, he‘s makes it pretty clear that he’s compromised depending on the subject.

He’s set himself up for those of implications even if he doesn’t agree with it and in spite of how he’s used his platform to bring up black issues.

Wait, Bo was part of the layoffs?

edit: or was SAS talking about Game Theory's cancellation?
