Sad news for those of us who need to be yelled at by television personalities every day; after the NBA playoffs Stephen A. Smith’s contract with ESPN runs out and the two sides haven’t been able to come to terms on a new deal. Reportedly ESPN offered a significantly lower offer than he had previously been earning and Smith opted to walk away from the network.
I for one am disappointed, when he’s not yelling and trying to be a “personality” and is just a reporter, Smith is excellent; although recently he’s been replaced on the basketball beat by the likes of Tim Legler and JA Adande. I also miss the days when walking near Madison Square Garden I would constantly be approached by people looking to give me free tickets to go to a taping of Quite Frankly with Stephen A. Smith. I mean, I never went, but it was nice to feel wanted.
