Re: Stephen A Smith
He is an actor who plays a role. He is playing the same role as Skip, Max Kellerman and all of the other hot take artists. His whole job is to trigger debates like this and by that measure, he is pretty good at his job. Personally, I can't stand the hot take aspect of sports but outrage is profitable, so it isn't going anywhere.

Re: Stephen A Smith
Totally agree, I have friends that follow people on twitter that they hate, like Skip Bayless and Aaron Fentress, they send me their tweets to show how annoying they are and in reality doing that only encourages and gives them a career. These guys are just trolls who only care about making money.karlhungis wrote:He is an actor who plays a role. He is playing the same role as Skip, Max Kellerman and all of the other hot take artists.

Re: Stephen A Smith
Acho is the newest one. Literally hitched his entire career to hating Herbert and it’s worked to perfection. His popularity has exploded and he trends any time Herbert does anything. These guys would disappear overnight if people stopped falling for it.

Agree, I have heard, I believe on the Conzano show, he is a normal nice guy off air and it is all an act when the mic is on. A lot of shows or networks have their villains. It is just an act but I still dislike his character.

Too bad you can’t select more than one option…

Pretty sure he just hates Oregon in general. Seems like he takes any opportunity he can to hate on Oregon and Herbert.dthomas=ddixon wrote:Acho is the newest one.

Re: Stephen A Smith
Best advice is to just not interact with those that are doing nothing but clickbaity stuff.

Re: Stephen A Smith
After ESPN had it's big purge, I've essentially stopped watching any and all sports shows. It's either vanilla boring commentators or these hyperbolic windbags.gogreen55 wrote:I haven't spent a minute watching any of these clowns for years now.

Re: Stephen A Smith
Stephen A is pure theater. When I want sports drama, I pull him up on YouTube. Most of the time, though, I can't stand him. Too much yelling. And, to make things worse, after kicking Max off of his show he brought in more guys who just stand around and yell. It's just... too much.
If I could add an option to the poll, it would be "uncloseted sexist." It's painful watching him interact with Molly. Not that I think she's the world's best moderator, but sometimes I really feel sorry for her.

Willie Taggart is a dick.

So to summarize, he’s an irritating closet racist that people can’t stand.
