    I SMH every time I see a Post w/Stephen A or Maxie K or any of those other latter-day opinionators opining loudly, strutting proudly.

    So, in honor of all the reasons to "love" (sic) SAS et al/arses all I tho't this might be appropriate:

    Stephen A. Smith’s NBA
    For the past decade, many of Smith’s reports and predictions have failed to come to fruition. But what would basketball look like if sports media’s most prominent talking head were always right?

    SAS carries ESPN like Lebron in Cleveland...even if a lot of what he says isn’t accurate or doesn’t come true, he’s still worth every penny that he’s being paid

    The yelling and I’m outraged act suckers today’s sports fan into a frenzy .
    He can yell and be outraged that the world is round and people would react to it.

    His job and everyone’s job
    At espn is to get viewers not make correct predictions

    Actually, he is. Like a late nite host, profit center/creator. Still does not make the SAS' of our world quote worthy, just cringe worthy. Of course rubbernecking at accidents is entertaining, for some...

    People today are too sensitive and easily manipulated
    Part of the reason why is the 24 hour news cycle
    People want to react and be prevoked

    Like the majority of Clutchfans now would rather have the media praise the rockets then the rockets actually winning

    The longest threads are media reaction threads not actually people giving their opinions on the actual game
