Screamin' A. Smith out at ESPN?

Favorite Stephen A. Smith moment. Lakers and Pistons in the NBA Finals in 2004. Rasheed gets in a tussle with Slava Medvedenko.

Stephen A. at the half with his best Allen Iverson impression: I'M TALKIN' BOUT SLAV MEDVENKO. SLAV MEDVENKO. SERIOUSLY. SLAV MEDVENKO. YOU'RE GONNA TRY TO FIGHT RASHEED WALLACE. HAVE YOU EVEN SCORED YET? SLAV MEDVENKO.

 

Screaming A is one of the reasons ESPN went off the cliff. But I still can't stand to watch it. Even without SAS who I always turned off or muted.

And he'll surface somewhere. Oh, wait. Hasn't ESPN bought everything else by now?

I'm waiting for the Travel Channel to scoop up EA and give her a star vehicle show following the lead of when Brooke Burke did "Wild On (insert hot place with a beach)" and traipses around in a bikini 3/4ths of the show. Mega-ratings.

 

He confirmed it today on his own site:

Travel Channel already has that, with Bridget Marquardt, one of Hugh Hefner's former girlfriends.

Maybe Erin can sub in once in a while

 

I don't keep up with him on ESPN. Why the fuck would I want to do it on Twitter?

 

My mama always said, if you can't say something nice ...
So I got nothing.

 

SAS will land again. He still brings a lot to the table and more than many of the critics panning him on this thread. He's really not a bad kid. Just someone who hasn't learned the difference between being cocky and being confident.

 

On the NBA? Fine.

Anything else? Make me laugh.

 

kid?

he's gotta be, what, 42 or 43?

 

younger, not by much.

 

Ah! There was nothing like watching Screamin' A. Smith and Skip Bayless literally scream at each other on 1st and 10. I'll miss it.
