How does this guy keep his job?

I have to mute ESPN every time the blowhard comes on the air. Who here likes him?

I can't even mute the guy... I have to change channels. I can't stand him and Wilbon.

I love Steven A. Dude is funny and he really does know his stuff. Him and Skip Bayless are absolutely comical. :)

Some guy on SNL does a pretty good parody of Stephan A. I agree though, his angry black man shtick gets old quickly.

Joe Morgan, Woody Paige, Skip Bayless, SAS, Mel Kiper, Jr., Chris Berman: All frauds with faces made for punching, in that order.

Stephen A. is fine. He's a blowhard but I don't mind him. Skip Bayless and Jim Gray are 2 guys in sports I'd be completely fine with never seeing again though.

I read the Tom Shales book on the history of ESPN. They hired Smith because he was like that. They think it appeals to the NBA fan demographic.

At least Woody Paige knows he's full of shit. He is much more tolerable than SAS or Skip Bayless.

I cannot listen to him.
He tries to make everything into a racial issue.
His opinions are generally ridiculous.
I change the station whenver he comes on.

I don't like Stephen A but he's better than that idiot Skip Bayless.

Also did anyone else see where Skip Bayless lied about his days as a high school basketball player on twitter, then another espn host called him out on it on air. Gist of it was skip said he led team to state championship game, turns out he averaged like 1.5 points a game or something
And the SNL parody of Stephen A was perfect.
