Should ESPN move on from Stephen A. Smith?

[klientel]

He's a clown and been running with sane tired gimmick since forever.
Eventually the audience would get tired of it.

SAS been doing the same shyt for decades. If people haven’t gotten tired by now, it’s not happening.

Bring back Max Kellerman.

 

[ISO]

Word is he would like to do a late night talk show or political commentary

 

[ABlackMan]

Hate to say but they both need each other.

SAS ain’t as big as we make em out to be. Check the YT views.

Much as I wanna watch the show I can’t because it feels so forced. Contrived.

Shannon came over and cleaned himself up all that level 10 ignorance for play for pay shyt gone and he done took off for real.

I stopped watching with espn around 2011. because as a 17 year old I could see the bullshyt methods and antics.

 

[ABlackMan]

Bring back Max Kellerman.

Blax Kellerman.

KELLER Kell!

 

[Dorian Breh]

I hope so. For the sake of journalism and televised sports.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

He can go back on Fox News like the last time they fired him

[firemanBk]

I wish they did cause he's unbearable to watch and listen to but apparently that dog shyt gets good ratings so they will keep him

 

[FAH1223]

They won't. They will re-sign Stephen A.

He helps get revenue for Disney and he's been a team player with his bosses. Plus, he has power there that he's accumulated since 2016.

 

[Premeditated]

as annoying as he is, i don't even watch first take like that, only sometimes. but when i see that he's not on, i'm not even giving that shyt a chance

Yeah, I can't see him being let go considering his man pretty much runs First Take. But I do wonder if SAS has lost some negotiating power as his act has gotten stale with a lot of people over the last year.

Also, w/ Lebron retiring soon I wonder how that will affect the decisions these networks make about talent who built their image around Lebron takes.
