What is going on with Stephen A. Smith vs Ike Taylor ?

[bigmanharris]

SAS a lame. Skip is worse. I liked when sports was less TMZis and had less schtick....

so athletes arent allowed to respond? I never get this with fans.

I don't have any beef with Ike Taylor but lets be reality Ike with the iverson jersey would have played a better game against tebow.
We call people scrubs on here all the time and I know I wouldn't fight a football player unless I have to

 

[BonafideDefacto]

Regardless of anything Ike needs to have thick skin about this. Scrub azz analysts go after players all the time. Ike is a good corner. He's 1 on 1 vs the other teams #1 every game. Actually he's the most under appreciated DB in the league. He just doesnt have good hands. But he is a great on spot defender and very fast. Problem is is that the Steelers play a lot of 'safe' zones and a WR can get a quick out/slant on steeler corners. He also is famous for having 1 bad game against the Broncos and SAS is bitter about it. To say tebow made him look stupid is dumb, tebow is a qb, the only way he can make a db look dumb is a pumpfake. Now the WR who beat him on the slant is another story...

I dunno why Ike is the only one blamed for this play its pretty clear Ike fails pretty hard with the missed tackle but Ryan Mundy should have had deep coverage and its noticeable that he catches his mistake and trys to catch up ...its what happens when your starting FS cant play

they are allowed to respond, but they usually end up looking stupid when they do.....


he was better off just ignoring it all and doing his thing on the field, that's where he is gonna make his money, SAS has very little to do with his money.

Like that again, YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT IT. On TV. On Radio. In Print. In the Locker room. In your home. In the streets. EVERYWHERE.

Stephen A Smith ‏@stephenasmith
Use "Banishment" or anything like that again. But if you ever left a no-passing-skills Tebow -- or anyone who even looks like him -- shred u

Stephen A Smith ‏@stephenasmith
Heartbeat when you do something good. But if you're ever perform that GOD-AWFUL again, I'm going to call it like I see it.

Stephen A Smith ‏@stephenasmith
It was just one game @Ike_SwagginU. I totally get that. It shouldn't - and won't -- define you. Please know that I will compliment you in a

Stephen A Smith ‏@stephenasmith
Don't love is an otherwise quality CB ending his season with one of the most HORRIFIC performances I've ever seen from a CB in NFL HISTORY.

Stephen A Smith ‏@stephenasmith
Anything you felt the need to deal with today. I love the Steelers. I love what coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers organization reps. What I

Stephen A Smith ‏@stephenasmith
However, @Ike_SwagginU that had you put as much effort and hostility in not making Tebow look like Joe Montana, you wouldn't have to deal w/

Will continue to do for as long as I'm being PAID to do it. If you have a problem with that, I have no idea what to tell you. May I suggest

Stephen A Smith ‏@stephenasmith
Understand that critiquing your performance is part of what I do for a living. It's what I have done, it's what I did today and it's what I

Stephen A Smith ‏@stephenasmith
Word. For that I apologize if it was misconstrued. But be clear @Ike_SwagginU, that's the only damn thing I'm apologizing for. You need to

Stephen A Smith ‏@stephenasmith
Was only playing about. I always in favor of any athlete getting paid, and in no way did I mean to come across as serious when I used that

Stephen A Smith ‏@stephenasmith
Yo @Ike_SwagginU, let me try and break this down to you, Bruh: In no way was I serious when I talked of "banishment" for you. THAT PART I

 

[23Barrettcity]

lol Stephen A Smith just destroyed Ike Taylor again lol

Stephan A apologized for using the word banishment since that bothered Ike but let it go cause if he has a 3 int game he wants praise right ??? The good switch the bad some guys only want the good.

The struggle of athletes and fans to understand a commentators/journalists job will probably never leave as long as we reinforce that culture.

Stephen A. speaks colorfully and loudly, but what he's actually saying isn't wrong. It's his job.

 

[Jram]

I actually just saw SAS speak a few days ago. He expresses himself the same way as he does on TV

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

SAS sound like he was copppin pleas towards da end.
