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

[Hiphoplives4eva]

That's literally all him. He has an insane work-ethic which is why even when people criticized First Take, it was always about Skip or now, Cain. But yeah, he's fukking nuts. Dude does First Take, then a 3 hour show right after. I have no idea how the fukk he does that, and still has time to watch games.

He's not watching shyt

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Yep it is......like he is a cartoon character now.

Yup. Almost like a minstrel...

nikka got on a clip-on suit

I’m rolling.

I have no idea how the fukk he does that, and still has time to watch games.

Watch games, you say?

 

[42 Monks]

man, yal don't know

you gotta see Stephen A Smith on his boxing takes right after a match shyt be better than fight itself

he be having these legit boxing icons ready to throw hands with some of the dumb shyt he be saying



this is like the third or fourth time he and atlas went at it and teddy can't even comprehend how this dude is allowed to speak on boxing at all i dont even think they can be in the same room anymore

how you pissing off people in every sport in america pay the man

 

[Hugo Floss]

Sleepy A. Smith

actually

LETS BE CLEAR!!! a nikka is tired brehs is apropo

 

[A1aaa]

Man, I agree. Michelle Beadle makes more than him and doesn’t have nearly as much air time as Stephen A. Stephen A is a much bigger star than her, but he’s doing a lot more work to still get less money. ESPN doesn’t treat their white stars like that.

$3M a year seems incredibly low for what he brings to ESPN

how the fukk does BEADLE make more than SAS?!

i don't even fw SAS but he's pretty much the most recognizable face of ESPN

hella disrespectful... may be time to make the move like his boy on his next go-around

the suit be real he just get his Vick on when its real late

LMAOOO

"see a guy, go to sleep.... wake up, see the same guy"


let me break this shyt down

he might pop up before first take for sportscenter
he does first take 10-12 daily... imagine he comes in early when he's in studio
then he has espn radio from 1-3 daily
if there's a game he's doing, he's definitely popping up around 7-8pm for another sportscenter
plus he talks to these dudes cause he's still an inside man... so he's there early to get in the locker room and smooze it up and ask questions
then he's available to do the post game.. then the post game sportscenter.. some of these games don't start till 1030pm..
then he gotta be up early again to do the morning sportscenter, guest spots on other shows, and his own show and the same routine at 10am


lets not even add the flight time city to city. and having his phone number in the hands of 345435349 people for intel



he do make 3 million a year but fukk that schedule

When does he sleep

Man, I agree. Michelle Beadle makes more than him and doesn’t have nearly as much air time as Stephen A. Stephen A is a much bigger star than her, but he’s doing a lot more work to still get less money. ESPN doesn’t treat their white stars like that.

SAS work is probably bringing in 5 other people salaries.

 

[YakSpiller]

He gets really good money and just got married. I bet he sleeps well

Man, that screencap is telling a different story.

Bruh outchea looking like he been sippin warm milk like lean.

 

[patscorpio]

They be asking Stephen A to do everything even if he's not involved in that sport

How the fukk u have him doing analysis on triple G and canelo fight and sounding stupid doing it.

They must be on a tight budget having a nikka work 14 hour shifts

This...he has no business talking about boxing when he clearly doesn't know shyt...they suppress teddy atlas but keep Stephen on the big boxing telecasts..no fukking sense

Perfect example but the one who gets taken off the broadcasts is the one that's been in the boxing life for 40 something years...bizarro shyt

 

[Sk3ptical]

i laughed so hard at this shyt i farted.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

When does he sleep

Apparently during shows

 

[360dagod]

he is falling into the same trap alot of people fall into..

too much work
too much stress
the workplace becomes your house

time flies and then you wander why your wife has the mailman's number in her phone

his name could garner him a gig where he could do way less work that's relative to the salary

ESPN on someshyt....

 

[Optimus Prime]

That SAS vs Teddy Atlas went supernova viral after the Floyd/Conor fight so ESPN is going to ride that forever. SAS has said he uses the first firing from ESPN as motivation to make sure they never make that mistake again. He’s made himself ESPN’s number 1 personality being so available whenever they need him and it’s usually for stuff he loves which is the NBA and boxing.
