Stephen A. Smith returns to ESPN

1-liner, All, ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings Jason McIntyre February 2nd. 2011, 11:55am

Stephen A. Smith: He’s back in the saddle at ESPN. He’ll be hosting a radio show on 1050 ESPN radio in NYC, and writing on ESPNNY.com. We broke the news in April of 2009 that Smith’s contract at ESPN’s wasn’t renewed, and in the last 20+ months, he’s bounced around to Fox Radio, Fox Sports and the Philly Inquirer, plus been a pundit on MSNBC and CNN. He gave this memorable interview in which he talked about why his newspaper work suffered: “When I walk the street or go to different places, my popularity speaks for itself. It interferes with the newspaper work.” Smith will replace Bonnie Bernstein on the radio. [ESPN Media Zone]

I am so confused by all of this. I’d tap Bonnie Bernstein though. I still wonder what happened with her and the Michael Kay show.

During the summer, she left the Kay show and started a radio show that followed right after his. Now, she’s not on it. It made me sad for like a day.

High football player and Ohio State University recruit Chris Carter was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of fondling as many eight girls while pretending to measure them for ROTC uniforms.
Of course thats how they measure suits……….in prison.

She was apparently very “friendly” during her college days if you know what I mean.

Does this guy actually know shit about soccer?
Did Liverpool overpay for Suárez? Maybe.
For Carroll, now the most expensive British player ever? Almost certainly./blockquote>
Suarez? No. Carroll? Abso-fucking-lutely.

I know Rex, I’ve implemented custom input filtering and its a naughty word list and a Regex matcher. Its pretty easy to know what sets it off.
which osu recruit?
Whichever one got caught, but they’re all criminals.

PLaying today will definitely help that, one extra game to get used to the new ‘mates and system.

I remember hearing Bonnie on a DC radio show a few years ago where she implied she liked the ladies as well as the men. Who wins? All of us.
