Stephen A. Smith Dropped an N-Bomb on ESPN Talking About LeBron

All, ESPN, LeBron James, Media Gossip/Musings, Video Jason McIntyre December 8th. 2011, 11:08am

Warning: The N-bomb (:17 – “this n—a”) isn’t the most disturbing part of this video. The screaming and blathering is. Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless, desperate for attention, are doing everything in their power to try and coax athletes onto the show. Easiest way to accomplish that? Rip them to endlessly on TV and then twitter and hope to engage them. Welcome to media in 2011, folks. [via Jimmy Traina]

I will never get that 38 seconds back. Holy shit. Do they do that on ESPN everyday? That was surreal. Just a wreck. Who watches that shit?

You just summed up both of their careers with that phrase.
It’s a shame how many more talented sports media professionals there are that don’t make what these two wastes of oxygen make.

With Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless both present, is it possible that show actually has negative ratings?

Yeah, might have been 2 weeks ago. Looks like TBL has a bit of an email back-log.

if you want attention, you’re going to have to pay the TBL troll toll.

Two of the biggest fucking idiots on the planet. Does anybody believe anything these two dipshits say? I don’t even think they believe themselves. Why did Stephen A. mysteriously return? ESPN is the worst…

I listened three times, and there’s almost no way you can prove he said it, as he’s being yelled over by that other gentleman.
But seriously, who would watch this? Who needs anything “analyzed” for them this badly? I’m home ALL DAY, every day, and it never even occurs to me to turn on ESPN, because this is what you’re getting.

This is almost as bad as that LarryBrownsSports guy who ran with some sportscaster supposedly letting something slip. He’s probably not even saying what we think he is.

Try this trick – go to a fast food restaurant. Anyone will work, just make sure it’s lunch time, the place is kind of busy, and there is a drive-thru. Go through the drive-thru and roll your window down. Do your best to listen to people fail at ordering fatty food. Those people go home and watch this show. And they are everywhere.

Regarding Stephen A., “whatever”. Desperate man, trying to find his place in this world.
