I have no idea if this is serious or a joke, based on how much he works
I would like to see SAS vs. Randy Moss vs. Paul George vs. Coach Prime vs. Shannon, in a fish off.
Disney (ABC/ESPN) has put an $18M per year contract renewal offer to Stephen A. Smith

Admittedly I dont fully understand this plant shyt. So how does this make him a plant?
If ESPN gets up to $20-22M he will resign I think. He knows there is no where else that has access to everything he needs in sports plus will allow him to stray into politics on his off time if he wants.
I agree, you’re going to have to find better examples than the ones people are using this thread because they ain’t it.Nope, not buying it.
These mufukkaz be breaking their neck to give cacs bags that don't deserve it.
We see it time and time and time again, but I'm the one tripping?
Hope he read the fine print. If we thought he was working like a dog before he bought to be covering bird watching contests in a year.

i know that these dudes are talented/charismatic, but the fact that they get paid like this, to sit around talking shyt about the actual athletes after the fukkin game is over, has always been crazy to me 
It's about ratings, ad revenue, and how you can attract an audiencei know that these dudes are talented/charismatic, but the fact that they get paid like this, to sit around talking shyt about the actual athletes after the fukkin game is over, has always been crazy to me
Nobody is going to watch Fox over CBS because Tom Brady is calling the game. They are going to watch whichever game they have more interest in regardless of who is calling it.
Not to mention the majority of people will not even have access to watch the Tom Brady game depending on the week.
It's a joke he got that much money for a job he has no experience performing.
Stephen A carries ESPN. They don't have any personalities that drive a conversation or brings eyes like he does.
That’s what he was able to negotiate regardless of whether you think he’s worth it or not.
SAS needs something to cling his hat to outside of FT and hot takes as that’s essentially what he’s known for at this point.
He’s essentially boxed himself to the point that the casual audience just doesn’t take him serious like that. Posters will obviously disagree, but again it’s a reason why all of his non-sports endeavors have failed.
The most important thing he can cling to is he is the reason the network gets views and discussed outside of actual live sports, which they are awful at broadcasting regardless of the sport. Without Stephen A there is little reason to tune into ESPN from 7am to 7pm.
The casual audience does listen to him. It's the "hardcore, I listen to multiple podcasts dedicated to a single sport, and discuss sports on message boards audience" that has a problem with him. And guess what, those folks don't move the needle. Those are the same people who don't think CC is important in growing the WNBA...............as she proceeds to sell out the Atlanta Hawks arena.
