Also, Steven A. Smith was probably the biggest jerk I ever had the displeasure of working with outside of Bubba the Love Sponge.

Had tix to a live Steven A show when i was in NYC some yrs ago. It got cancelled due to a baseball gm going into extra innings so Smith offered us tix to another show. I told him we couldn't accept because we were from outta state, he then wrote a note for us to take down to the restaurant in the same bldg letting them know to give us the dinner of our choosing.... on him. He definitely wasn't a jerk to the six of us.

I ran into him in D1ck's Sporting Goods up at Citrus Park a few months back.  We chatted for 10 minutes about the store's poor selection of athletes on the walls of the footwear section.  Guy was cool as hell.

Sad thing about this is Skip is the worst analyst to evaluate QB's, ever.

He's the main one supporting Freeman in this video.

Hard to imagine, but I think Stephen A and Bayless both made some good points. Jaws summed it up perfectly though IMO.

I love Jaws. He is definitely one of my favorite analysts. Enjoyed what he had to say about Freeman earlier in the week on M&M.

Actually the problem isnt that Freeman stinks. He is average. He puts up good numbers just often enough to make you think he is better than he is. Bad and great are convincing. But mediocre makes you live with the delusion for too many years. He is just good enough to waste our time and not good enough to get us where we want to go.

Go to the 11:40ish mark.

He may have been nice to you.. But in my honest opinion(and I have one on the subject because I watch, discuss, and read all things sports). That man is backwards, RACIST, and knows absolutely nothing about football. That discussion on black qb's the other day was nauseating. He's a race baiter and quiet frankly I think his style is oppressive to blacks.

Oh its also really annoying he thinks every NBA player is his best friend.

Agree.  He's a worthless commentator and a blatant racist.

I don't think he's a racist. From what I can tell from watching the show, him and skip(a white guy) have been best friends for decades. I just think he is very honest about racial issues and he doesn't sugar coat it.
