Chris Broussard calls out both Screamin A and Bayless and asks good questions.

this show is starting to get stale as hell. they need to revamp it soon to keep it relevant....the only time its entertaining is when there's real drama like when jalen called skip out or that ryan clark shyt...besides that all this scripted buffoonery and forced monologues are played out.

i completely agree. it started goin downhill with this debating for 2hrs str8. its like they debate the same 3 or so topics for 2 whole hours. the show was MUCH better under the old format. Stephen A used to be my boy but he's a prime example of "too much" of something. he's cool in small doses but hearing him scream for 4 str8 hrs is entirely too much

Does it bother/irk anybody else that Stephen A. Smith refers to everybody as "boy"?

 

[K-Apps]

didn't realize Skip wasn't that tall compared to Stephen A.

 

[Dr. Fauci]

I just dont get why people watch the show

Its fake arguing...which is the only reason people would watch it I would suppose...but once u see these guys buttlove for each other (ex. after Jalen called out Skip), its pretty obvious

Man I swear there is a picture of skip bayless in the dictionary next to the word peckerwood.

I'm ready for this series to end just so we can get some fresh topics.. These dudes have been talking in circles for a while now

Naw. No problem. He's tryna demonstrate that he's sympathetic & cool with the players. SAS offers the urban, NYC perspective. Despite the age diff between SAS & the athletes, he is tight with them. It is commonly acknowledged that the party don't start until SASmith walks in. u_u

(If Skip used the term as much, there would be blood in the streets.)

YAS!
His leathery face has been kissed by the Oklahoma sun. (Dude should have worn more sun screen.) The devilish light in his eyes, the cocked eyebrows, the thin lips, & his imp-like joker aura indicate that Skip is up to NO GOOD.

I love the faux debates btwn SAS & SB. Without SASmith's yelling, the show gets boring FAST. SAS & SB complement each other, with Jay there to moderate (& look handsome, I guess). Haven't watched all week, but might catch it tmrw after game 5.
