You ever hear of a guy name Stephen A Smith?


I have actually come to respect Stephen A. Dude works his arse off and actually generally has reasonable takes, particularly when doing interviews outside of ESPN. Isnt overly woke. His yelling sctick is annoying but he is far far better than Ryan Clark or the talking blob Kendrick Perkins.

Actually this is the high end of what they they southerners are like

If you want to know what they really think of us, think about the callers on the Paul Finebaum show

In person, he was actually a really nice, down to Earth guy when I met him.

But, yeah, on TV...he's a tough watch.

Biggest clown? No. But he’s in the circus.

Gotta go viral if you want to survive ESPN's layoffs. He saved his job for another several years w/that bit.

THIS.

The worst part is so many media members love to blow him because they think the same thing. Last night a few CFB squid journos tweeted shite like “Marty Smith is a national treasure” and then got absolutely clowned by people in the replies.

Dude is a complete fraud. Worst in sports, next to Tom Rinauldi. I don't understand how either one has a job on TV.

Anyone who pretends to have a southern accent is a clown of the highest order

I can’t stand that fricking loser. ESPN really thinks this fake southerner best represents the south and by extension the SEC.

He's from SW Virginia, so he definitely isn't a faux Southerner, but he definitely milks the thickness of his drawl when there is no need for him to. He just needs to be himself.

He's a clown
Showed his true colors during NASCAR'S "NooseGate" by getting angry at white people and then sobbing over his good friend "Darrell" (Bubba Wallace)

Southern liberals*

He’s an executive’s ideal white southerner.

This stupid bastard went from an untucked bacon collared polo wearing hick doing the 7 am NASCAR hits on the Sunday morning SportsCenter to all of a sudden wearing $2000 suits and Air Jordan’s being the #2 at The Masters behind SVP.

He didn’t just wake up one day and decide to be that way.

Motherfricker had to be groomed.

This. If the ESPN goons tell him to be a clown, he’s a clown. He and Ryan McGee kinda come off as slack jawed retards to me but I think that’s their schtick.
