Oh man I just listened to that clip....I wanted to reach through my monitor and strangle him. Completely out of line. Completely.
However, as the years go on, I watch less and less of ESPN. Its becoming so dramatic lately. They intentionally put personalities like that together to stir up a controversey. Sean Salsbury and Jon Clayton? That duo is becoming a joke. Its like its all scripted now.
yes I saw Smith's anti-Favre rant, what a moron...Smith has his hand up T.O.'s (butt), why should it be any different for the Javon Walker scenario...i hate to bring up race but any time there's a white/black faceoff, steven a is always one-sided...i'll go with the consensus, steven a. needs to mind his own business, he obviously has no respect or recognition for one of the greatest sports symbols of the last decade...and guys, any minute that we all spend worrying about what is being said on ESPN is a minute wasted
and i'm gonna go off topic here, just because i go on an anti-ESPN rant whenever the situation calls for it...ESPN has no likeable personalities...John Clayton should be on CNBC telling me how my stocks are doing, he's some four eyed nerd...he has neither the knowledge or tone of a football analyst...he gets people to talk to him solely because he is ESPN's top gun...Chris Berman has grown on my nerves, especially after the home run derby in which we all listened to him name countless Michigan suburbs...Stuart Scott...the hip hop thing is very, very tired, stop it...Tony Riali, host of Around the Horn, one of the two big sports talk shows is just blatantly biased and has control of the mute button..."Cold Pizza" is the worst bit of programming ESPN has to offer (winning a tough division, if you ask me)--Woody Paige, I like what he says but he's so outspoken and out of control that I hate listening to him...he's always at the throat of the other guy on the show, Skip Bayless, he's some emotionless *****...and the 3rd person is some girl who has no idea why she was picked to be on that show...
don't worry, stephen a. smith gets his own show starting august 1st

yes! This all goes back to my "Joe Buck Theory"...networks are putting people that stupid, and that underqualified on the air to give everyday people like you, me, anyone the feeling that we can be analysts on ESPN...now you know why I'm so upset that MNF moves to ESPN, so ESPN can beat that dead horse too...
