Bro Molly STFU … mad dog can’t even get a word off
when will steven A. retiring?
Is he really retiring are y’all forcing him out
Go to Pat McAfee show and look at the time stamp for 2:08 on this subject. Pat says another NBA legend has been, has retired. That's a straight slip up he was about to say has been fired. Now I get to hear Stephen a Smith say "we" certainly didn't have anything to do with it… Who is we? And this is just a sad question but how is it ethical to have the same agent as half of the players in the league you're supposed to be non-biased about
That's a hugh loss, but congratulations 🎊 "WOJ"

Woj is quitting because the gig is up. After the Durant and Dame coverage he was completely exposed for the shill his career is. Once he was forced to include the names of the agents feeding him "inside information" ESPN realized oh his value is zero. There is no difference between the league breaking a transaction or an agent breaking it on Twitter. The idea anyone would pay him more than a summer internship to Tweet a text message an hour before it's officially announced was never not insane. ESPN can save 7 million a year by letting whatever agent wants to give a press release. I'm glad the league is finally cracking down on these agent media spinsters. It is a disaster for people who want real reporting, and for fans to better understand the league, let alone things like democracy. He's like Sean Hannity meets the Zodiac. Started out as an internet troll, and straight up shill for his buddies. The exact worst case scenario you could teach in journalism. We need to root it out both in sports, and real news, and forcing Woj to step aside is a good starting point.
He said ESPN was a joke and a frat house so there's that
