ESPN Stephen A. Smith Hypocricy
 
This is a parallel I want everyone to see. Stephen A. Smith is a walking, blabbering hypocrite.

In one breath he blames Vilma for not going to visit with Roger Goodell in his office during the supposed "investigation" when Vilma did not go and kiss Goodell's ring. He also says Vilma SHOULD NEVER have filed his lawsuit in defiance of the Commissioner and the NFL.

Now watch Stephen A. Smith in this video discuss Reggie Bush returning the Heisman trophy to USC. Smith is basically advocating Reggis Bush to HOLD ONTO the trophy as his own prize in DEFIANCE of the NCAA and Heisman committee.
  • What about the vacated scholarships and lack of bowl time USC has suffered because Reggie Bush and Pete Carroll had their thing going on?
  • What about the players who had to leave USC because of the scandal?
  • What about the kids and people who looked at Bush as a role model?


Seriously, Reggie did NOT know he was cheating? Come on Stephen A....

Watch:

Stephen A. Smith has the most unprofessional presentation of any of the ESPN "experts". He needs to leave the street on the street and stop with the thug talk. That alone keeps me from taking him seriously. Then the actual words he says solidifies that.

I feel like when he talks, it's like he is preaching. He tries too hard to sound smart and he ends up just sounding dumb.

ESPN paints him as an argumentative intellectual. His diction and content of his speaking paint a different picture. (ie. his arguments are regularly FLAWED)

Stephen A. Smith is ESPN's version of the bearded lady or the two headed chicken, an oddity that is interesting to observe because he is unusual. And his opinions should be taken just as seriously as that of the Siamese twins or the lion faced boy.

They need to run a disclaimer on the bottom of the screen during this show

"For entertainment purposes only! NOT to be taken seriously!"

In essence... Yes he broke the rules... but he worked very hard when he broke the rules so he deserves it.

He appeals to a certain segment of society- and that segment isn't very bright

Didn't Darrel Green say something about belonging there because he knew what to do wit it, @ HOF? I always thought he was talking about Irvin

I always assumed MI because of his drug abuse and his crying filled rant at the HOF

I may have asked this before, but somehow I don't find the answer worthwhile to remember. Who is Steven A. Smith and why does he rate a capitol letter in the middle of his name?

Don't need a video to convince me, I've known it for years.

I would love to see In Living Colour come back for a special and Daman Wayans do Stephen A. Smith as Homey the Clown...

...that would be second only to John Belushi coming back for an encore performance of Samurai Taylor...

Smith is just a hired dink to "stir up the pot". He is a complete idiot in my book

I was seriously done with ESPN long before Goodellgate.
I watched ESPN news seriously until Katrina when they began so many rumors and lies it was unreal.

In 2009/2010 when we won it all ESPN become beyond intolerable... I digress.

I only watch actual games and college football on ESPN.
Once the game is over, I change the channel.

I posted this video to further educate anyone willing to read how ridiculous, ignorant, arrogant and harmful their commentators truly are. The network, and their so-called journalists, are sensationalist losers, who are unapologetic and not accountable for their own actions.

I'm with you, only when Saints or LSU are on will I watch that channel. I use to only watch it years back. I can't stand their commentators, and haven't like them for a long long time

Their college game commentators are equally intolerable, but their Gameday staff is at least funny. I don't think Mark May, Lou Holtz, Fowler and Courso WILL at least admit the show is for fun. They rarely report total B.S. lies as fact, but I have seen it before. I've also seen Fowler apologize for incorrect info. They get a passing grade.

ESPN's NFL coverage is a serious JOKE and entirely a different situation.

Stephen A. is the only man on the planet who has ever lost an argument to Skip Bayless. And he does so routinely...

Re: ESPN Stephen A. Smith Hypocricy
 
I like watching Lou Holtz in the studio on College Game Day just for comic relief because of his speech impediment. He reminds me of Droopy. He made a statement during the Poinsettia Bowl last year between Louisiana Tech and TCU that had me rolling: "The mosht crucial time of the game are the lasht five minutesh of the firsht half and the firsht five minutesh of the shecond half". I would love to see him call a game between Shan Diego Shtate and the U. Esh. Shee Shpartans.
