I will say that the man works hard for the money, dude is on mad fuckin' hours a day between TV and radio. I still don't give a fuck what his take is on anything. I wish they would bring back "Quite Frankly," that shit was good but lasted about as long as "The Magic Hour" on the air.

Making the $4M Skip signed for a Fox look like money you find in the couch.

So that they can yell to their friends "Well Screamin A said, my money is worth more b/c i Climbed harder. Who's the next caller - it DOESNT MATTER - I still am fanning myself with ad revenue"


Something like that...shrugs

but yeah.. who listens?..must be most outside of the known knowing.
2692301, Whoa. Black folks love Stephen A, chill with the slander
Posted by Orbit_Established, Thu Apr-04-19 07:24 AM

Stephen A is a sports talking head, and does his
job amazingly well

He's earned every penny

Do I love most of dude's actual opinions? Of course not.
But he doesn't believe half that shit. He's an entertainer.
He entertains.
2692311, Huh? I like Screamin A
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Apr-04-19 09:21 AM
Never understood the hate for him... besides the fact that he screams a lot.
2692300, bro is carrying that channel on his back.

Isn't ESPN a sinking ship right now?

Kudos to him and his agent on a personal level for securing that deal of course, although I purposefully avoid watching any and all video clips that feature him.
2692303, looking forward to his moralistic overtures on UFC fighters

2692376, Assuming that this new deal
Posted by Numba_33, Thu Apr-04-19 03:02 PM
comes with Screaming A spouting his brand of insight on MMA related matters, what are the odds he rubs a UFC fighter the wrong way?
2692306, my man earned them dollars too. breh be on there 25/8 lol.

2692334, He's great in short clips, but he needs to pay more attention to CFB
Posted by guru0509, Thu Apr-04-19 10:33 AM
some of his takes these past combine/workout pro days were laughable

ESPNews >> ESPN though

I'm not a fan of his, but I think he's well aware some of his takes are flat out wrong; dude puts stuff out there just to garner attention/clicks/views.

I will never forget a co-worker was listening to his radio show. The show in question was after Amare Stoudamire's first Knicks season. Screaming A made the premise for fans to call in that Stoudamire was the best Knicks big man ever. Just after one season's worth of work where he primarily operated at the 4 position. I have to think he's well aware of how to troll folks for attention, hence the dollars he's current getting in this new deal. I personally am not a fan, but I don't begrudge him since apparently what he's doing works for him and ESPN.
2692339, when he said Dwayne Haskins was more of a runner than a thrower...
Posted by Dstl1, Thu Apr-04-19 10:54 AM
I was genuinely embarrassed for him.
2692340, he's lost on anything besides basketball but that's the current m.o. in...
Posted by ThaTruth, Thu Apr-04-19 10:54 AM
sports tv right now just have a bunch of random talking heads spout on everything.

Max Kellerman used to be strictly a boxing guy now they have him doing everything.

Shannon Sharpe is obviously football but they have him doing everything too.

To me they just sound like drunk guys at the bar.
2692377, yup.
Posted by dula dibiasi, Thu Apr-04-19 03:13 PM
only espn personalities worth a shit are the one sport/league guys. louis riddick, jay will, chauncey, the mlb crew, zach lowe, darth amin, etc.

all of the "multipurpose" guys suck. ALL of them. can't be an "expert" in everything. stay in your lane.
2692437, max kellerman is horrible now.
Posted by Reeq, Fri Apr-05-19 03:36 AM
he used to make sensible well-researched arguments.

now he just yells in a high pitched voice with that wallace and gromit mouth.

his tom brady takes have pretty much become their own genre of comedy.
2692441, He's a pundit. No pundits are policy experts. They're entertainers.
Posted by Orbit_Established, Fri Apr-05-19 07:46 AM

At least he's not a raving bigot

He's a thorough nigga from Q borough to me so I
rocks
2692341, WHO WAS ON CRACK
Posted by Marauder21, Thu Apr-04-19 10:57 AM
Not even a fan but that's one of my favorite ESPN moments of the last decade.
2692444, Did Lamar Odom ever respond to that?
Posted by Numba_33, Fri Apr-05-19 08:10 AM
Pretty good restraint on his part if he didn't at least post up something on social media since IMO that bit of clowning from Screaming A was a bit uncalled for; the point of the rant was to disparage Phil Jackson and poor Lamar Odom and his demons become collateral damage.
2692455, max leaning back and trying not to laugh kills me every time
