Stephen A Smith needs some rest....ESPN working him like a damn dog

[dh86]

I don't think it's Smith trying to "grab the bag" I honestly think he's overworking himself to cope with losing both his parents in 1 year span.

shyts depressing. Probably wishing he spent more time with them during their final years instead he was trying to "chase the bag"

Make a deal with the devil brehs

He works less and has much more vacation time than the avg American. When I used to watch first take, he rarely was there on Friday's

It’s easy to do all these jobs when your not saying anything

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

He works the same amount of hours as the average American. He got fired from ESPN before so he knows he gotta get it while it's there.

cut it out... y'all using that old gina logic that she used on martin... "b-b-b-b-but if you calculate by the hours, you only on the radio 3 hours, so you DO make more money than me"


nah breh... avg american ain't WORKING at 6 am (when i see him on get up on set) and STILL putting in work at 1 am the same day (when i see him after the nba game on sportscenter)... THEN going to work to be back at 6 am again... and doing that pretty much all damn week. throw in flying around, sleeping in hotels, power sleeping cause your day drawn out over 16 hours, living out a suitcase, makeup, rundown, get dressed, undressed, dressed, car ride... i seen the nikka working every holiday.. and the only time they take off is right after the finals, then come back for nfl free agency


now look at everyone else in his profession.. do they do that much?

now look at everyone in YOUR profession.. they at work 6am to 1am? how often? how many holidays they work? how many vacation days?


i'm not saying it ain't worth it.. shyt give me the millions.. but this is the definition of working yourself to death. the man passing out at work, on set, multiple times. his body telling him it's too much already

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

If skip got 7-9 million a year and only had one show and nothing else........

They better give this nikka 15-20 million at least. It’s no exaggeration to say, I might see/hear this guy on 7-8 shows a day. From get up to commentary after the last game... not even counting people hitting his phone for scoops and all that

this guy is killing himself for that raise

Easily. He’s probably the only guy on espn. Who honestly doesnt need espn to be popular
- im just imagining if this keeps up hes gonna end up like denzel in flight. Needing a special cocktail before he goes live

 

[the artist known az]

Wow, he is underpaid if true.

Max used to work like that. He was on Sports Nation, then did the radio show with Marcellus then a bunch of Saturdays doing HBO Boxing, lots of times he was in NY or Atlantic City. If he was lucky it was in Vegas or at StubHub in Carson

 

[CoryMack]

That ain’t work.

He don't do shyt but drop the first polarizing opinion that comes to mind but you gotta respect the delivery and energy

Madden won Super Bowls

 

[42 Monks]

Madden won Super Bowls

and he got his biggest bag for saying "BOOM", "this guy is just a football player", and generally rambling incoherently on monday night - not winning games

if you want to talk about how they got a foot in the door? yeah sure. madden is the base of football commentary in the same fraudulentbutfukkitwhatever way that stephen a is the face talking head journalists for entertainment sports news

BSPN even got him singing happy birthday to other employees
