Quite frankly, Stephen A. Smith is going to be richer. Smith is in line to become the highest-paid on-air person at ESPN by potentially boosting his salary to $10 million per year, according to people with knowledge of the upcoming negotiations.


You don't make $10 million a year if no one likes you......


ETA: damn, it's a slow Friday on the OT. Someone should start a babe or GIF thread......

He doesn't believe half the shite he says.

He just wants to argue.

Tired schtick.

You see how you know his name and are talking about him? That’s why he gets paid what he does. Not because people like him, but because they love to hate him.

Just because I know his name and talk about him doesn't mean that is making ESPN any money. Pretty sure me turning the channel whenever I see him is losing them money.

Its funny cause 10 years ago I thought Stephen A was the most over the top, outrageous, and just annoying person on ESPN but now with the direction ESPN has gone, compared to some of the people on there and on talk shows he's reasonable. I personally want to punch Max Kellerman is his nutless sack.

I immediately turn off EPSN radio or change the channel when he comes on.

Cannot stand his arrogance.

Part of his schtick is that he talks like he's Jackie Chiles from Seinfeld. I don't know what it says about him in that he keeps getting different iterations of the same show, but he HAS to keep getting different iterations of the same show. If he were truly talented he wouldn't have to do that but if he were truly a bum he wouldn't get rehired... Unless there was some other underlying reason he can't be fired...
