ESPN has decided not to renew the contract of Stephen A Smith. This Thursday will be his last day.
This is an exerpt from the NY Post Article written this morning:
"What had been abundantly clear among ESPN's TV and radio audiences from the start - that Smith was a self-promoting, race-based gasbag with almost no discernible sports credibility beyond maudlin genuflecting at the feet of big shots - had finally become clear to ESPN's shot-callers.
After 5 1/2 years of blowing every oppotunity ESPN handed him, Smith was not renewed; he's out effective Thursday. And who wants to kick him when he's down?
But last week Smith begged for it. He went on Atlanta's 790-Radio sports station to provide a highly public reminder, in a long, sel-absorbed speech, as to why ESPN no longer could undulge him.
Geez, he was just dumped for being a self-promoting, self-aggrandizing, self-congratulatory, race-hustling, blowhard and sports knownothing and he still was unable to subjugate his bomblast long enough to allow you a minute to feel sorry for him.
Yep, despite all ESPN's media platforms, it no longer had room for a wildly popular, in-demand fellow who's one part Martin Luther King and one part Daniel Webster(but mostly like Sean Salisbury). Smith's so delusional he'd insult those he considered his greatest admirers. He apparently feels that black Americans find him less full of it than everyone else.

Thank God this idiot is gone from ESPN. He truly knew as little as can be about sports and was just a loud-mouthed jerk who I could not stand to listen to.
