Irvin's actually really really good on the radio. Him and Dan Patrick have a funny chemistry on dan's show. But once its TV, he becomes a jackass.
steven A smith doesn't have balls. None. He's just pulling the Angre Black Man shtick. Theres nothing behind his opinions. No substance. Nothing but Angry Black Man.
He's like a wind up toy, when the camera or mic is on him, he gets all energetic and Mad. Doesnt matter what, what sport or if he knows anything about it, he's got an opinion.Hes MAD as hell. And he's gonna let us know whats up. Smith a total fake.
And if the barest hint of racial issue comes up, and i'm talking about smallest of chances, Angry Black Man eats his spinach and goes ape****

first thing, irvin needs polish, that's all. second thing, screamin a. will call anybody on anything. to their face. that's balls. is he in dire need of decaf? YES, both him and irvin. as to the angry black man thing, well...i'm black and some things get me angry. gotta walk a mile in a man's shoes to see his point of view. and if you can't, then you've just gotta respect the point of view even though you might not completely understand.

hey, just cause this is the internet doesn't mean i'm white either.
nothing wrong being a Black Man who's angry, but pulling the Angry Black Man shtick makes Stephen A Smith a clown, and thats why they put him out there
He makes a fool out of himself and, especially, when he goes off on racial issues. It just makes everyone look bad. When the topic has racial components, by all means go for it. When theres something to be incensed about, go for it.
But dont be angry about everything under the sun. I remember when Steven A first started out out of Philly as a journalist. He was pretty good. Then they put him up on TV, and created this monster. wtf
he just makes people look bad, he's a caricature. not a real person. Stu Scott really made sportcenter a worse show to watch cause he's annoying. But he's not making people look bad. Every time Steven A goes on the air. He's going off. Thats his shtick thats what got him from the doing NBA commentary to being his own quasi-celibraty
he went from doing sports beat, to editorials cause of skill. From editorials to NBA commentary at first because he got scoops through pounding the ground. Now he went from NBA to the job of being Steven A Smith by being a clown
