He played college ball, he's been a sports writer for like 20 years, and he's well connected. Contrary to popular opinion he's not some dummy that doesnt know what he's talking about

Whether he played anything or not is irrelevant.

He's obviously connected...but just as obviously he's pretty terrible at his job.

I was just answering the guy's question about whether he played college ball. I dont think he's bad at his job at all. You may not like him or his personality but I dont see how he's bad at his job.

I guess that depends on what you consider his job to be

I don't like :comeon: but I don't question his credibility. Fact is the one thing I like about him is he has NO problem deferring or letting it be known when a topic comes up that he ISNT an expert in when giving his opinion about it. He often will say "I can speak only as fan, not an expert, but as a fan I..." for a sport such as college football which he himself will say he is much more casual with it than others and usually doesn't speak much about the game itself but more WILL speak about the politics and psychology of it. Again, the dude gets on my nerves but he never stans a player (cough Broussard cough) and has no problem bucking the system and applying common sense to garbage that is sports analysis.

Every time he talks I'm like :damn:
But saying what no one else will right or wrong...:smugbiden:

I know you don't believe that. Dude was a journalist damn near 20 something years.


Tell me what journalism course teaches what he does on TV.

Do you even know the ethics of journalism to say what he does on TV reflects the field?

What he does on TV isn't journalism though.

I dont understand the point you guys are trying to make. Just because Steven A. has moved into editorializing and opinion making, doesnt discredit his years as a disciplined journalist. Hes just shifted his focus, which is decidedly more lucrative --- obviously.

But he goes up there touting his journalistic pedigree as if what he does on First Take represents journalism.

It DOESNT. That's WWF.
