There’s a few things going on in the world of sports that need to be addressed but on this particular day they don’t take precedent instead one would be Aaron Rodgers and his situation with the Pat McAfee show that’s necessary to address because after all I’m an employee for ESPN the other would

Be a fat bastard that has gotten away for far too long talking his you wanted some fine I’m happy to get give it to you you piece of the Stephen A Smith show up next right now what’s up everybody Welcome to the latest edition of the Stephen A Smith

Show coming at you at the very least three times a week over the digital Airwaves of YouTube I am coming at you from our Los Angeles Studios I’m on the road so obviously I won’t be taking any phone calls today but to be quite honest with you I won’t be taking any tweets

Either I’m not in the mood I just want to speak and I want to get out of here because I got better things to do with my time but there’s just certain things that are necessary to get into before I do that let me once again thank you all

For showing me a bunch of love that you’re giving me um probably by the end of this show I’ll be up to 460,000 subscribers over the first nine months of this YouTube channel I can’t thank y’all enough for the love and support that you’ve been giving me keep

It coming and I’m going to keep on coming a little bit later on in the show I have re I I almost never say his name and that is the name of Jason wh Whitlock um he is a guy that has a show on Blaze

TV um he is the person that I directly allude to as that fat bastard um he’s a no good individual probably the worst individual I’ve ever had the displeasure of ever being associated with within any capacity and I will address him in just a few minutes all I will say is that the

Things that I’m going to say um please don’t hold anybody responsible for it other than me nobody I even took the liberty of calling my pastor to apologize in advance for what I’m G to say about that no good bastard so I will address that in just a few minutes and I

Am not engaging in hyperbole I’m not exaggerating the pastor’s name is Pastor ar ar Bernard at Christian Cultural Center you don’t leave me call him and ask him I don’t lie like some other people I know do but again I’ll get into that a little bit later on in the show before I

Do that it’s necessary for me because I’m the face of ESPN and obviously there’s a lot of things that went on this week in regards to Pat McAfee um and some of the news that he made with his show and obviously Aaron Rogers was one of those things the other stuff that

That involved Pat McAfee and him calling out an executive and all of that other stuff all I’m going to tell y’all is this you don’t mind you don’t have to mind your damn business but I will mind mine I am an employee of ESPN for my day job I don’t discuss internal matters

That is none of my business that is above my pay grade Pat mcfey has his show he’s responsible for everything that goes on with his show the executives that we answer to at ESPN they’re my bosses and I’m not g to be stupid enough irresponsible enough immature enough to think about

That I can talk about family business I don’t do that that’s not going to happen so don’t expect me to speak on that ever ever that’s not how I roll having said all of that Aaron Rogers is a different matter because that’s not necessarily an internal matter that’s a sports story

And Aaron roders went on Pat McAfee’s show a little more more than a week ago in made news talking about one of our other colleagues at under the Walt Disney Banner which would happen to be Jimmy Kimmel um Aaron roders obviously had a few things to say about Jimmy

Kimmel because he doesn’t particularly like him if you watch some of the videos where Jimmy Kimmel was making fun of Aaron roders during covid when he was making fun of Aaron roders because of some of his conspiracy theories these are the kind of things that rubbed Aaron

Rogers the wrong way so when Aaron Rogers had an opportunity to take a stab or a jab at Jimmy Kimmel what was it that he said he said um and I’m looking for it here because I want to make sure that I find the direct quote that Aaron

Roders said about Jimmy Kimmo but he basically talked about uh you know popping bottles to be quite honest with you he said how you know everybody was looking forward to the list coming out etc etc just reading from my notes here he doubled down once he had said what he said about

Jimmy Kimmel um he said yesterday on the pat mcae show I don’t have any apologies not for that guy from ABC that’s what Aaron Rogers says and so subsequently the news came down that Aaron roders would not be on the patent McAfee show anymore during this football season

Whether that’s a permanent decision or whatever I don’t know don’t care I support Pat McAfee from the standpoint that I think he’s an incredible talent I like the guy personally he’s straight up he let you know where he stands he’s Unapologetic about it he don’t give a

Damn who you are black white male female go he don’t give a damn he’s going to let you know where he stands and I respect that as it pertains the specificity of everything that’s transpired that’s a different subject to for another day but um when Rogers on

Tuesday had shot back at Jimmy Kimmel for making fun of him all of those months in rogers’s opinion he said I think it’s impressive that a man who went to Arizona State and has 10 joke writers can read off a prompter my education in Ju in Joo and at Joo and my

Three semesters at Cal which I’m very proud of has worked out for me and I’m glad to see it’s worked out for him he said but I wish him as in Jimmy Kimmel the best but I don’t give a what he says about me as long as he understands

What I actually said and I’m not accusing him of being on the list that was Aaron Rogers retort to what Jimmy Kimmel had really really lost it over and what Jimmy Kimmel had really lost it over was Aaron roders just saying that you know folks are not looking forward to

That list coming out and one of those people is Jimmy Kimmel Epstein I’m sorry I got my producers here with me jeffre Epstein being on the Jeffrey Epstein list okay so that’s really what it is if you want to hear what Jimmy Kimmel had to say

Just as a reminder Aaron roders has a very high opinion of himself he genuinely thinks that because God gave him the ability to throw a football he’s smarter than everybody else we learned during Co somehow he knows more about science than scientists a guy went to

Community College then got in the Cal on a football scholarship and didn’t graduate someone who never spent a minute studying the human body is an expert in the field of Immunology Aaron got two A’s on his report card and they were both in the word Aaron that part was funny I have to

Admit that all I want to say is this take Amon Rogers at his word I thought that he was very despite long lengthy ramblings on the Pat McAfee show on Tuesday I did believe and I did appreciate the fact that he came out and said look at I’m not calling him a

Pedophile I’m not alluding to it I was just taking a shot at a guy that’s taking a shot at me and anybody that would want to sit up there and label him such a derogatory you know or had such a der derogatory label towards him just don’t

Do it in my name that’s that’s nonsense I don’t want any part of that so I do appreciate him saying that but here’s the reality of the situation when Aaron Rogers said what he said it did allude to it there’s no escaping that when he

Said what he said it did allude to that do you do have some wackos out there that would automatically assume that Jimmy Kimmel was going to be on the list so because of that negative attention from the Epstein list that you brought towards Jimmy Kimmel the least you could

Do would would say I’m sorry about that that’s not what I intended to do I was wrong for doing that you could have said it like this I don’t like him I don’t like him a little bit and I don’t give a what he has to say about me ever

But I went a bit too far there and I was wrong and left it at that that’s not what Amon Rogers elected to do and as a result of it it is what it is he’s no longer going to be on the Pat McAfee show for the remainder of this football

Season um who knows whether or not he’ll ever be back and as a result we go from there as far as it pertains to people looking to give a shot to Pat McAfee listen Pat McAfee is his own man just like an abundance of people are

Their own man or their own woman working at ESPN if I disagree with something you’ve done so what that doesn’t mean I don’t support you and I got to tell you this and I’m gonna say it to everybody one last time so everybody understands this I don’t

Know about everybody else but I’m very happy to have Pat mcky at ESPN Pat McAfee established himself with his own YouTube channel he bet on himself years ago he built the following amassing in excess of two million followers on YouTube okay give the brother credit where credit is due and there are

People that don’t want him to succeed but there’s a lot of people who do and my only words to Pat McAfee is that as long as this show on is on ESPN any time he wants me to come on I’m happy to come on he’s been great to

Me and I think he’s going to succeed and the one thing that I do feel compelled to address is these headlines about how his numbers and his ratings don’t necessarily measure up to that a first take well no one’s no one has in the mornings we’ve been number one for 12 years

But I guarantee you that Pat McAfee show is doing better than the sports center show he succeeded I guarantee you that Pat mca’s numbers are climbing I guarantee you that Pat mcafe show will continue to get better and better it’s just that I intend for first take to get better and

Better as well he’s not in the same time slot as me I’m not competing with him I want Pat McAfee to be successful and guess what the more successful he is the better it is for somebody like me along with a plethora of other peoples because when the model is the

Model when you give this when you when you you don’t purchase the talent you don’t employ the talent you purchase the show that’s a business model so for people to root against that makes no sense to me if Pat McAfee succeeds you have any idea how many floodgates will

Be open for other opportunities for other folks if Pat McAfee succeeds what the hell are you rooting against them for what are you rooting against them for now is he in a quiet T sure does he do things that most of us wouldn’t do sure but in the end whether I agree or

Disagree with anything and how I feel is none of y’all damn business because that’s an in-house matter he’s got my support he’s got my support from the standpoint I want his show to succeed on ESPN it makes all of us better and if you understand anything about business the abundance of layoffs

That took place before his arrival those were employees or independent contractors if you’re losing money and you’re trying to offset losses you let folks go you write it off and you move on to a different era and when the person that you bring in succeeds the old and it’s their

Business as opposed to them as an employee then the overhead and everything that comes with it is your responsibility not the companies which means their liabilities are limited that’s why they made the deal they made whether it works out for ESPN or not remains to be seen but make no

Mistake about it Pat McAfee is my teammate at ESPN just like Shannon sharp and Club Shay he’s my teammate just like Ryan Clark in a pivot my teammate I’m rooting for everybody you’re a teammate of mine I want you to win I want you to win I’m sorry things

Didn’t work out with Aaron Rogers or at least that appears to be the case I’m a huge fan of Aaron Rogers I don’t agree with what he alluded to whether intentional or unintentional Aaron roders alluded to Jimmy Kimmel being on the Epstein list period I’m not saying it

Was intentional I’m not saying it was vicious I’m not saying I’m not labeling or judging it accordingly I’m saying what impact it had because of the impact you apologize and I personally think he apologized doesn’t stop me from Le Amry Rogers he’s a bad man got mad love for

Him wish I could watch him on the air talking about sports not rambling about covid and immunization and vaccines and all of that stuff even though some points he was making I heard him loud and clear because there’s a lot of people that believe believe just like he

Believes that our government spent a lot of time lying to us but that’s a different subject for another day but that brother is an all World quarterback a future Hall of Famer and when he wants to talk football don’t tell me we don’t want to hear what he has to

Say still got love for him just wish he had apologized to Jimmy Kimmel that’s all I have to say about that particular subject because I got deeper subjects on my mind right now um Jason Whitlock I said that name it’s not a name I’ve uttered I normally don’t do that but

It’s necessary to do now I’ve had enough of that fat bastard that piece of and I want to make sure that before I go to break I want anyone out there who watches me any anyone out there who knows me anyone out there no matter what you think of

Me I want you to remember I never talk about him I never talk about my colleagues I don’t do that this is a first but it’s necessary and when I say don’t talk about I mean don’t talk about them literally I don’t get in on them like I’m about to do now

I literally called my pastor and asked for his forgiveness and understanding in advance because he’s not going to recognize the person he’s about to hear I did the same when I emailed the bosses at ESN this is my podcast I own and operate this I do what I want on

This podcast but it doesn’t mean that I still don’t haror a responsibility to at least give my daytime employers a heads up as to what what I’m about to do my sisters my nieces and nephews my boys in the industry everybody that I could reach out to in time has been

Warned it’s time for me to address this I’m only going to do it once because this bastard is worth less than a damn cockroach he wanted my attention he’s got it the Stephen A Smith show up next don’t touch that doal we’ll get rid we’ll we’ll deal with the Fat

Bastard himself right now let’s roll what what was that where you put in the desk box on my desk open it just open it you couldn’t have open it for me [Laughter] what my new book on paperback I like it I like it I like it

I like it a lot it works for me it works for me y’all see this new for word and all Stephen A in paperback straight shooter Memoir Second Chances and first Tes I haven’t gotten over that picture it does look pretty smooth I must say so myself it’s a

Bestseller I’ll hold on to this hope you go out and get it thank y’all so much for the love and support wouldn’t be here without you thank you thank you thank you welcome back to the Stephen A Smith show right here over the digital Airwaves of YouTube by the way that

Quote from Aaron roders I’m sorry from Aaron Rogers about Jimmy Kimmo which initially sparked this whole brewhaha was quote there’s a lot of people including Jimmy Kimmel that are really hoping that doesn’t that list doesn’t come out that’s what he had said couldn’t find it for some reason I

Apologize let me get back to the subject at hand ladies and gentlemen as a black man sitting in this seat the level of vitria that I have to absorb is something that I understand 99.99% of the time you’re a former player and you want to crucify me that’s

Fine you’re somebody that was involved in some kind of public incident that I had to speak on whether you’re the wife or ex-girlfriend or some of a former player or whatever I get it you’re a present day athlete and you don’t like my evaluation of what has

Transpired before our very eyes and what I’m witnessing that’s cool but I swear to you on everything that I love of it’s not personal I’m a sports reporter and sports commentator that is what I have been throughout my career it is my responsibility to tell you what I see

Through My Lens how I feel about it what my perspective is ETC it’s not like I’m sitting at home with absolutely nothing to do and no obl a to touch on anything but I feel the need to invoke and ingratiate my thoughts opinions etc etc

Upon the world I actually get paid to do this and because of that sometimes my opinions my thoughts my feelings Etc are things that you would not like but I have never lied to you ever if I wrote a story or I wrote an article it’s based on the things that

I’ve been told what I’ve seen and what I feel it is rare that I talk about myself on a personal level because my personal life is not anybody’s business and I don’t get into other people’s personal life it’s not something that I do many figures in the World of Sports find

Themselves in personal situations not lawlessness not unlawful things or anything like that but there’s plenty of situations Michael Sher juvie where I’ve seen certain things and I turn the Blind Eye a deaf ear to it because it’s none of my business and I leave it alone and one of

The other things that I never do I never attack my colleagues I might disagree with something somebody says or does and I might have an obligation to speak on it because it’s in the news or whatever but I don’t speak against my colleagues once Humanity comes into play

That’s a given here’s the other that’s not real work think about this for a second I’m supposed to be covering sports but I make a career out of talking about my colleagues that ain’t work that’s you finding some slick way to get a check because you can’t get a job that’s Jason

Whitlock that’s who the hell he is now I have sat back for years at least nine to 10 years saying absolutely nothing about this man I never uttered the words Fat Bastard out of my mouth until a few months ago so that means that the previous nine

Years you never heard me speak on him at all but now it’s necessary excuse me because you see if you listen to The Fat Bastard I didn’t play high school ball even though my coach’s name was Harvey stol was Thomas a Edison vocational and Technical High School I played there my

Senior year I was in a basketball tournament at Fashion Institute of Technology where I dropped 27 points and got a scholarship because the coach came calling me after that and what have you if you listen to him I never had a scholarship to Winston Salem State even though it’s on the

Books just call the University by the way ladies and gentlemen I’m an honorary doctorate member I have an honorary doctorate from Winston Salem State University because of my contributions to Winston Salem State I’m called Dr Smith has something to also do with the contributions that I make because I believe about upliftment

I’m an ambassador for HBCU week and I’ve partnered with Ashley Christopher and M piki and Delaware and others to generate over 10,000 Scholarships in excess of over $5 million in scholarships for African-Americans but this man will tell you I’m lying he even went so far as to say say my

Autobiography where I talk about my mother my father my sisters the business my hiring and firing and rehiring at ESPN I didn’t write it I didn’t write my own Memoir which by the way is a New York Times bestseller something he wouldn’t know anything about did you know that it’s now on

Paperback it just came out yesterday on paperback do you know that you could go to amazon.com straight shoter book.com or a bookstore nearest you to get my book in paperback do you know that when people are normally selling 10,000 20,000 30,000 copies I’ve sold over 400,000 did you know did you know did

You know but he will tell you I didn’t write it he seen my writing really this article is an article written on deadspin.com the title how Jason Whitlock is poisoning ESPN’s black Grant land because remember Bill Simmons who’s now at Spotify doing a great job obviously had Grant land at

ESPN and upon his departure Jason Whitlock was supposed to take up the mantle and create a black website for folks this article was written by a Greg Howard published on April 27th 2015 the same Jason Whitlock that said he’s seen my writing the same Jason Whitlock that implied that I couldn’t

Write the same Jason woodlock that said that I’m lying that I’m lying what does this man do why would I call up this article there’s a plethora of reasons why I would do so ladies and gentlemen one of the reasons would be because it’s as in depth as it gets

About how scarless how trifling how Despicable this man is but there’s also another reason that I’d pick up this article let me read the graph to you that it says keep in mind Stephen A can’t write this staff the one Whitlock was praising by way of warnings that if the

Writers and editors wouldn’t align with his vision he would get rid of them was not the one Whitlock wanted the undefeated because that was the name of the title before It ultimately became andscape The Undefeated was originally meant to attract the best and brightest young black talent in the country with

Whitlock’s aim set so high that he at one point seriously tried to recruit the Atlantic’s tanasi coats the sharpest cultural commentator in the business today as things worked out though those Young Writers comprehensively refused to work with him so did bigname espers like Howard Bryant Jamal Hill and Stephen A

Smith I couldn’t write huh while you were on Blaze TV spewing that to people did you tell them that did you tell them how you stood outside outside of First Take begging me to talk to you did you tell them that once this same article in dead spin came out weeks

Later you wrote a lengthy apology to me in an email begging me to forgive you pointing out how you were betrayed by this particular writer so you know how I must feel that you betrayed me did you tell the folks that you did you tell

Him you fat piece of did you tell him that got the names we got Jamal hill we got Howard Bryant you want me to bring up the other writers that wouldn’t work for you why it took you nearly two years to get an article out because you ran that

so bad you were running it into the ground what a disgrace you were to John Skipper the former boss of ESPN or the host of others you want me to talk about that because I got receipts I got the email want we talk about that now just for everybody that wants

To understand how could this possibly be because once upon a time I actually tried to speak up for this damn Craton I knew he was a piece of but I said look maybe he’s misunderstood why would I do that ladies and gentlemen because sometimes as black folks we get in our own

Way we think that all of us must be of one monolithic thinking that we need to be completely and totally aligned and any deviation from that brings into question I quote unquote Blackness Martin Luther King was a man of Peace Malcolm X was by any means necessary they can’t possibly be on the

Same page even though their agendas was for the upliftment and the preservation of our race of people so I understand when we talk about stuff like this how people could sit up there and say how did it get to this how did it get to this remember when I got suspended years

Ago you know was out there writing stuff smiling in my face one minute talking smack about me behind my back and then ultimately writing it it was him remember when I supposedly used the people were speculating that he used the n-word on the air and all of this other

Stuff he was the first one out there trying to say that I did it ladies and gentlemen I Didn’t Do It on the air in my humble opinion I’m telling you that however it’s not like I didn’t use the nword when I was off the

Air when I was talking to my fellas or I was talking to other folks who happen to be black I am not a proponent of using that word often nor am I advocating that that word be used now I’m just acknowledging the guilt that comes associated with me in terms of when I

Was younger but I was always saying we as black people communicate how we want to communicate with each other I love John Wen who’s been associated with the prince Alliance uh uh you know the prince Alliance the fritz Alliance I’m sorry Fritz poot Alliance love that man love his

Contributions to the NFL but when we would get into it in the past on rare occasions it wasn’t that he wanted the eradication of the n-word because I support that my issue with him was hey you shouldn’t be encouraging the NFL to fine us and penalize us for using

It amongst ourselves how can erace a people who actually made the word iniquitous be in a position to punish us for using the word with one another I had a problem with that and I stand by that but I digress my point is in bringing up all of that Jason Whitlock pounced on

It because that’s what he does you see what he does is he’s the one that puts himself in front of white folks the white folks not all white folks not most white folks but the white folk F that dare we say may have a problem with black folks he

Says I’m your man that’s what he does you think I’m lying ask ESPN ask Fox ask the Kansas City Star ask them all Jamal Hill Rob Parker Chris brousard skip bis Yours Truly along with a host of black folks all over this country every single one of them will

Confirm what the hell I’m saying about this piece of garbage ladies and gentlemen as a black man I often told y’all I cannot imagine as a black man knowing our history anything worse than a white supremacist that is until Jason Whitlock came along he’s worse than them

He is the worst most despicable lying no good fat ass human being I have ever known in my life and I’m gonna take a break because I got more in a minute you’re listening to the Stephen A Smith show right here on YouTube Don’t Go Away

What what what’s that what you put in the desk box on my desk open it just open it open it you couldn’t have open it for me what my new book on paperback I like it I like it I like it I like it a lot it works for me it works

For me y’all see this new four word and all Stephen A in paperback straight shooter Memoir Second Chances and first T I haven’t gotten over that picture it does look pretty smooth I must say so myself it’s a bestseller I’ll hold on to this hope you go out and get it thank

Y’all so much for the love and support wouldn’t be here without you thank you thank you thank you welcome back to the Stephen A Smith show right here over the digital Airwaves of YouTube I will remind everybody that I’m sitting here talking about Mr Jason Whitlock first of

All um it will never happen again he’s irrelevant he’s not important he’s insignificant and he knows it and he did all of this to try and bait me into this all of this stuff I know that’s how people are looking at it my family and friends and everybody thinks the same

Thing my point is I don’t care and the reason I don’t care is because I’ve been holding it in for nearly 10 years and so there comes a point in time where at the very least at least one time you have to ad address it it’s necessary it’s

Important okay and as we sit here today talking about this subject there’s certain things that we just don’t need to let go you know it we just don’t need to let go because there comes a point in time when enough’s enough and that time has arrived getting back into him and to

Really elaborate extensively on us ladies and gentlemen John Skipper the former boss for ESPN wanted to start this website and if you remember when The Undefeated first came into existence it was labeled the premier platform for intelligent analysis and celebration of black culture and the African-American struggle for equality that’s what it was

Labeled as now that I read you that quote let me give you a quote that this guy Greg Howard has a recording of Jason Whitlock saying to his staff at that time if you’re more comfortable working for white people rather than working for me and that sounds humorous but it’s the

Truth fine this is according to audio obtained by dead spin back in 2015 some black people are far more comfortable answering to a white person than a black person no matter how black they like to pass themselves off to be far more comfortable because they know a

White person is going to overlook their shortcomings H it’s good for a negro I’m not about that but if you’re more comfortable working for a white person I will find a white person for you to work for we have a higher standard here everybody has to get on board with that

Or I’m going to find a way to move them someplace else that was Jason Whitlock and then he went out and hired senior writer and editor Mike wise who’s white this is the man that’s in charge of Black Culture why can I say that and by the way I’m not casting any aspersions

Against Mike Weiss I’m cool with him I’ve always been cool with him he used to work for the New York Times used to cover the Nicks La before he went moved on to the Washington Post he’s a credible journalist I have no nothing negative to say about him I’m just

Saying black website but you bring in your white friend in part because black folks didn’t want to work for you but I digress ladies and gentlemen how serious I am am I I have a contract that I negotiated with ESPN and I signed in 2015 I don’t know of anyone who has this

In their contracts I had it in my contract and I have a copy of it where it specifically stipulates that I never work with Jason Whitlock it’s in writing no wonder you didn’t see him on first take um you didn’t see him on Undisputed with skip bis either skip bis wouldn’t

Allow him on there you didn’t see him on Numbers Never Lie either Jamal Hill and Michael Smith wouldn’t allow him on there Christopher brousard for Fox Sports and Fox Sports Radio let me take a moment to tell you about Chris brousard if Chris brousard were not in this

Industry do you know where he’d probably be probably because I don’t know for sure would probably be y’all in a monastery he’s one of the most religious God-fearing decent human beings you will ever encounter it doesn’t get any better than Christopher brousard and he can’t stand Jason Whitlock look

Around don’t y’all notice why black people Scurry away whenever this roach of an individual is around named Whitlock because we know what he is we know what he is Blaze TV you may not know Glenn Beck Dave Rubin the great one himself Mark lvin I bring up Blaze TV which is where

Whitlock works because I want bla Blaze TV to understand I’m not talking about you I know you’re a conservative arm you conser you know I get all of that I’m not judging accordingly I know Mark lvin well we have one another on speed do we talk all the

Time the same applies to Shan Hannity the Andrew Willows of the world okay I talk to these folks I’m not one of those people that’s married to one side or the other and decent people are everywhere be careful that you don’t get yourself stained and stench by Whitlock he can do that to

People he is the worst he’s not ethical he’s not moral clearly based over what I told you about me he’s also not factual most of the time he will lie he will denigrate and he will turn against anyone to serve his own good the real reason and casting no

Aspersions on what Blaze TV presents and what it has to offer the real reason he’s there is because he can’t get a job anywhere else he hasn’t burnt Bridges he’s napalmed them call Eric Shanks and Charlie Dixon at Fox call Jimmy pataro Burke Magnus Dave Roberts Norby Williamson at ESPN call him call

Him call John skipper and metalock media I’m giving you names I’m giving you names that’s just I already gave you on their talent names I gave you reporters and on their talent ladies and gentlemen this same Jason Whitlock that want to talk smack about me is the same Jason Whitlock that

Wanted to hire me it’s the same Jason Whitlock that stood outside doors trying to get me and coax me into even having a conversation with them because they knew I was so disgusted with them presumably after he hit a strip club because we all know ain’t

Nobody trying to go out with him okay the same Jason Whitlock that guy is the same guy that sent both Dan leard and Isaiah Thomas Isaiah Thomas the two-time champion the Hall of Famer one of the greatest point guards in NBA history now working on NBA TV that guy

That same Jason Whitlock sent those folks to talk to me please is there something that could be worked out can you forgive him can you talk to him my words and my promise to them was that I want nothing to do with him I will never hurt him from getting

Opportunities but I’ll be damned if I’m going to help him by being associated with him in any way do you know why I said that ladies and gentlemen as black people and I guess I was wrong I should say at this particular moment in time I

Was wrong to call him a fat bastard or a roach and all of this other stuff because that’s not my name for him my name for Jason Whitlock is religiously Cain c a i n you see a lot of black folks we talk about how with the

Original man on the face of this Earth what that means Cain was the original murderer because he’s the one according to the Bible who killed AEL that’s Jason Whitlock there is nothing good about him absolutely nothing and I challenge anybody that knows anything about him to refute what I’m

Saying I have the facts they’re all here I know what he’s done the biggest mistake one of the biggest mistakes that John Skipper could have ever made as the former boss of ESPN was hiring that man everyone knows it that’s why he attacks ESPN that’s why he attacks colleagues

And contemporaries in the industry it’s not just because he thinks he’s smarter it’s not just because he’s fearful of anybody smarter than him in the same room it’s not just because of those reasons it’s because he truly despises us all it’s who he is and the funny part about it is when

He sits up there and he says you know I can’t do this or I can’t do that look I’m 56 years old if y’all think I gotta now that I’m successful in this business that I got to sit here and lie about me playing basketball in high

School to write in my own damn Memoir at this point in time my like I can’t help y’all I’m not gonna waste my time with that silliness what I would say to you however is this I have a bestseller where’s his I got let go by ESPN and they brought me

  1. I’m not a Whitlock fan at all but SAS attacked his character and addressed everything EXCEPT for what Whitlock was saying about his “basketball story” being overtly exaggerated and likely untrue.

    Makes you think though, why get so ticked off a high school story in your memoir if it’s true?! SAS never responded back to Whitlock for 10 years until now? Cuz of a question he had about the authenticity of his basketball story?

  2. Stephen a really ME if I was on a tv sports show dawg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 shit is hilarious

  3. I never liked Jason & how he always spoke bad on Deion Sanders. He’s a big hater. He just wants clicks and views. Thanks Steven A.

  4. ESPN says jump and Stephen A says "how high?". He talks about other peoples shows none of his business who Pat puts on. Worry about Whitlock. He cant even read his own notes, he could not read verbatim what Rodgers said, he just skipped it. And guess what Rodgers was on Pats show 2 days later. So no need to comment at all. Be sure to say "Epstein" some guy working the boom mic has to correct him. AR never said Epstein list it was AJ that said it in a question. Rodgers was talking about the list existing. He never said Jimmy was on the list read what he said verbatim. Stephen don't speak on this because you can't read or write or score over 1.5 pts per game. Then he goes on to sell a book he Whitlock says he did not write, others did the work. Then trashes Whitlock far worse than Kimmell trashed Rodgers.

    That's the norm for celebrity memoirs: to have a ghostwriter pen some — if not most — of the story. Using her years of expertise, Grischow estimates that a vast majority of all celebrity memoirs are ghostwritten. He was saying Stephen A used ghostwriters which is very common.

  5. But some of the people you named like Coates and Jemele Hill DO act as if blacks can only be democrats/liberals or they aren't "really black". It's like they don't know it was the Democrats who owned us AND NO THE PARTIES "DIDN'T SWITCH", because MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS A REPUBLICAN long after their imaginary "switch" so I guess the LEADER OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT didn't know what page we were on.

  6. Im no jay whitlock fan but SAS saying "I NEVER attack my colleagues…" when he has attacked Max 4 months ago. Dudes a primadonna.

  7. Did he address what Jason said though or is this all ad hominem attacks. If you resort to ad hominem, you aren’t talking truth.

    I side with Whitlock. This ain’t battle rap…debates are about truth. Seems like Stephen A had no receipts

  8. i really hope you get to read this……..ive never heard no one ever comment on shannon like you have to any other person in history………..you are absolutely hats off type brother……and being a fan of yours mr smith…………….as being the king of sports……..hats off to you…….and we thank you for being our voice for sports……..south carolina said that……

  9. Jealous much of Shannon will be the end of SAS you think YOU ARE TO BIG TIME Shannon h
    Will take reigns.
    AS U KNOW SAS WE GO WAYYYYYY BACK LIKE UR HAIRLINE

  10. This all started bc Whitlock questioned claims made in the book. SAS didn’t address any of those claims and instead hurls insults like fat bastard etc. That’s what ppl do when they are wrong.

  11. It's nice to see Stephen get a taste of his own medicine. Now he knows how kwame Brown felt, when he had his outburst

  12. Thank you Stephen A. for telling the truth!! It needed to be said. Enough of the sugarcoating when it comes to this guy. We are with you, we forgive you and understand you needed to get that off your chest. Now back to business—Go Cowboys!!!!!

  13. Is this it? This is probably the most weakest argument Stephen.A has address. Why? Check his past arguments. No sleep is wasted here.

  14. Stephen A Smith is no different from Jimmy Kimmel. They both talk shit, but can’t handle it when it comes their way. Neither can control their emotions.

  15. Two words Stephen: Max Kellerman. You're all a bunch of self promoting pricks, if you ask me.

  16. I have no dog in this fight knowing nothing about American sports but listening to both sides I'm with Whitlock.

  17. Whitlock does not report on nba or nfl because he can't even get in the stadiums, he is so hated.

    No,literally he so fat he can't get into the stadiums…
