Seriously, I was listening to SAS on ESPN Radio (i guess he has a radio show) his voice wanted me to pull to the right and drive into traffic. I would rather go deaf than listen to him YELL! at every thing he has to say. THIS IS PROPOSTEROUS! he sucks…

I don’t think the reason for demotion was any big secret…the Inky wanted SAS to deliver a certain # of columns, and he delivered a # much less that what the Inky wanted.

I read the Inquirer when I go on vaca in Avalon NJ.

His columns were written in what can only be described as 11 grade failing english with logic smeared into it from freshman comp taught by an angry black leftist.

He’s terrible, truly awful.

I am uneducated and moronic but I like Screamin A’s written view but don’t like listening to him.

McCaw is the dipshit owner of the Santa Barbara newspaper who basically fired any employee who showed some objectivity/journalistic integrity.

Read a piece about Screamin’ Steve that said he often pecked out his columns during down time on TV sets on his BlackBerry and emailed them in from it. I think that says it all about the level of quality of his writing, which is to say it sucked.

Only in America could someone as mediocre/sucky as Screamin’ Steve get to where he was in his chosen profession.

Stephen A. was and always will be a good journalist. When he has something to say, he doesn’t pussy-foot around like most journalists. that is why uneducated, moronic readers don’t like him. He will get a job somewhere else, and will have continued success anywhere he goes because he is a good journalist and has intelligent things to say

Wendy McCaw thinks the Inquirer was completely within reason.

I’m guessing it wasn’t so much one thing he did, but a bunch of things he didn’t do: namely, produce quality content for the media company that was paying most of his salary. We’ve all seen the extra-curricular activities he’s been involved in in the last half-decade, and when you spread yourself too thin, your “real job” suffers. I think that’s what had happened, and I think the editors at the Inquirer finally said “enough.”

Now, if ESPN would just come to their senses….

shit, man. they just gave him a radio show. you think (barring SAS DOING something really over the top) bspn is going to get rid of him?

if you are hoping for that, you may be better off hoping indiana wins the big 10 football title.
