Stephen Anthony Smith aka: Stephen A. Smith

The urbans look up to him

he caters to the ignorant trashy urbans

His bluster and indignation were entertaining for me the first time or two. That was years ago. I guess he knows that it doesn't matter what he says, as long as he has that outrage and that tone and that cadence

quote:

He speaks like a uneducated thug from the ghetto

I agree with pretty much everything you said. I do not like the guy. I'm tired of how pompous he sounds.

Cowherd is nothing more than a pompous arse that thinks his shite don't stink. He's said the dumbest thing of the 3. Said New Orleans had NO good restaurants or hotels downtown. Really?

I feel like this thread could have been made about any screaming/overly enthusiastic ESPN talking head, but yeah Stephen A. sucks.

All these people will complain about how terrible he is yet turn their television to First Take tomorrow morning to listen to what he has to say.

That's really all there is to it.

I really have no idea if Stephen A. Smith sucks....

....every time I see him on TV, he's just acting in the manner that ESPN tells him to act. He's no journalist; he's a puppet, and ESPN has their hand firmly lodged inside of him (and many other "characters" as well).

Stephen A. Smith might be a decent guy, but I'll never know until I hear how he speaks and behaves OFF the clock. I do know, however, that he's very good at portraying someone that I despise with the fire of a thousand suns.

Also for whatever it's worth Stephen A really is very close to a lot of basketball players

He was asked on the radio why he decided to do TV and not write as much anymore. He gave an answer I loved that was something along the lines of, "I may not be a republican or a democrat, but I am a big fan of capitalism."
