    He’s an entertainer and nothing else. Don’t confuse him as a sports analyst because he has no valuable input. His purpose is to generate as much outrage as possible for clicks and views.

      I have a vague memory of listening to him on the radio in NY way back in the day and he was a legit sports analyst. Then a couple years later he showed up on national broadcasts and was completely different. Maybe my memory is failing me, but I don’t remember him starting as an obnoxious talking head.

    I don’t know who that is, so I guess I don’t think anything at all.

    Is that the kid from American Dad?

    Never heard of the guy, so I don’t. After googling him I realized that it’s because I practically never consume any media related to sports, let alone American sports, so… 🤷‍♂️

      This is the correct answer.

      What do I think of Stephen A. Smith?

      I don’t.

    There are certain talking heads on TV that can only be explained by the theory that there’s no such thing as bad publicity. He gets people talking, even if it’s usually only about how bad he is.

    Outrage media works. Sports commentary especially seems to depend on it.

    He’s…. Passionate. I have no ill will toward him, but I also don’t watch much of him.
