    does anyone like watching Stephen A Smith, even on a "love to hate" basis?

    for me, he's "get off my tv" status. simon cowell is "love to hate" for me

    shocked ESPN doesn't realize how people (i think) perceive SAS............

    i know it's PC and SJW days but they're has been at least one major incident where they could easily have fired SAS without recourse..... and even if they straight out fired him because people don't enjoy watching him and he's not good for ratings i can't see him being someone the PC community would get behind for long. i.e. it'd blow over quickly.

    ESPN has had this semi-mysterious ratings decline and yet they keep SAS.

    i could be completely wrong abut this but i don't think i am

    I don’t particularly like him but a lot of people do. He is loud and gets people to react to him. Real easy for me to just not watch him. I see the svp sc and the 2 guys after him if I catch sportscenter at all.

    I don't watch him on TV. I think his radio show is pretty good, just b/c he gets good NBA-intel. Also, he's pretty knowledgable about boxing.

    I'll admit to enjoying his radio rants. An ok guy.

    thx for the responses. i was seriously curious....... surprised black people like him but i'm guessing it's aggressive black man not being kept down by white people. something like that.

    I'll admit First Take was a guilty pleasure when it was him and Skip Bayless. I never really got into Kellerman once Skip jumped to FS1, so stopped watching shortly after they put in Kellerman.

    The best way I can explain is it seems he tries to be Skip, but does a bad job at it. He's not entertaining, he's just loud.

    What he said. Listening to sports radio in LA is pure torture. First it was Max and Marcellus. Max, a lifelong Knicks fan, suddenly jumps to the Lakers once he lands in LA. No real fan does that. Marcellus is smart but literally cannot stop himself from talking/laughing/making noise for even a split second.

    Next up is Steven A. and his thesauras. Insufferable.

    No matter who the host is, they're talking about the Lakers or Kobe. All day, every season. No college sports, no hockey, very little football.

    LA sports radio is the worst.

    I turn the channel the instant I see him or Skip Bayless.


    I truly miss Stuart Scott and Chris Berman.

    I give him credit for originally backing Colin Kaepernick's "Movement" on how Police were treating black people, and then bashing Kaepernick into oblivion for not voting in the 2016 election

    ESPN?? Unwatchable.
    Any of the talking-sports-heads are interchangeable for me...
    From StephenA to SVP
    same talking sports TV heads.
    I like to watch live events from feeds available around the world.
    No use for ESPN unless they have a game on a live feed.
    It's the game silly.

    Always was/am still a big WFAN guy. Hate that Carton's not on there with Boomer anymore. I'd say I listen to Mike Francesa because of the "love to hate" aspect. Guy knows his shit, despite being a pompous blowhard. Always loved Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts, too.

    The major part of audiences are uneducated people, successful people do not have the time for that garbage.

    My Dad always would tell me people making money do not watch tv

    Completely agree, went to an all black high school and loved it.

    SAS wants to act like he is the one with the black community all while eating from a silver spoon.

    This guy apparently is claiming Lebron James texted Kevin Durant suggesting they team up in Los Angeles.

    How would Stephen A Smith know who Lebron was texting?

    Sounds like fake news to me.

    Loud mouth fuk'in blow hard! I can't stand his ass. Shouts at the camera like the old senile fuk he is. The only reason espn hasn't dumped his ass is because he's their last token black guy and he'd probably sue their asses and claim racism.

    Espn jumped the fuk'in shark long ago and is a shell of what it once was. The best two guys they ever had on there were Stuart Scott and Mike Tirico, with Stuart being the best of them all. RIP bro.
