the more i think about it, at the height of SAS’s fame, the only sports media member who was in his galaxy were Wilbon and TK. Wilbon had the column and PTI … but no radio show. TK had radio, PTI and wrote (i believe) very sparingly (columnettes?) for the WP.

even though, SAS was going on sportscenter and ESPN at night to talk NBA

If life were fair, Jim Rome would have been gone years ago instead of only marginalised. Once Stephen A. Smith came along more genuine and less overt to shock a la that ass Rome, Rome was toast in ratings and irrelevant. But that douche is still there. Why?
This site skews anti-Stephen A obviously, though even as a fan myself I found that heckling skit hilarious.
Stephen A’s not done folks. He’ll be back and better before too long. After hearing douchebag Stuart “Da Bomb” Scott with Avery Johnson last night on ESPN, with Avery a fine player and coach but with awful analysis that barely beat out the likes of Emmitt Smiff, Stephen A. will sorely be missed.
JA Adande is the only NBA voice still remaining at ESPN of whom I can think so far, if not also Greg Anthony if he is still, whose analysis not only do I enjoy but is superb even when you are in disagreement. Why in Bristol they can’t get it after years after they figured out the winning formula in Atlanta (TNT) years ago is most baffling except of course for the fact that they are and will always be East Coast douchebags in Bristol.

As the blogosphere emerged in 2006, Smith’s screaming antics were well-chronicled – this heckling at the NBA draft was a popular one – and his downward ascent picked up as the year progressed. In 2007 it began to unravel – his TV show was cancelled – and that accelerated in 2008 when he lost his column and his radio show. Though Smith’s screaming has been dialed back significantly in the last six months – though Skip Bayless remains and loud and annoying as possible – one wonders if it was too little, too late.

Great paragraph — you should write for a living.

Who’s going to defend Michael Irvin’s crack headedness now?
