He's fun to listen to, but I really don't think he's as smart as he thinks he is

What an idiot. No wonder his column and television show were canceled.

The poor fellow is praying that bloggers will start talking about him, not realizing that Mr. Smith moved into the level of "inadvertant comedy" many years ago.
In a few years, he'll move to advocating violence against his pet peeves because he's such an attention whore. To Smith, any attention is good attention.

I watched him give analysis on NBA on...TNT during the playoffs one year I think, and he knows a lot about basketball
He's a lively character, but I don't think other analysis guys liked him too much, lol..
Die hard baseball fan since 1994
Die hard Astros fanatic since 1996
And getting worse every season.
Master of Ale!
Steven A. Smith is fantastic at hoops analysis...but he seems to have bought in to his own hype at some point, and is just a sad caricature now.

And I hate Steven A Smith.He tends to think just because he yells he somehow has any clue about sports. He may know a little basketball, but its just that, a little. Charles Barkley is a more entertaining commentator haha.
Berman may have been known for his loud mouth and colorful antics, but under that had some knowledge about sports and the way things worked, hence he was successfull.

Do you guys remember when the brilliant minds at ESPN put him on the Sports Reporters and he said something to the effect;
"If Schottenheimer was smart, he'd of kicked the field goal on third down, that way...if he missed they'd get another try!!"
Brilliant! Would be funny if not so sad, this guys drawing in a good 6 figure salary!!

This is the way most of the old media thinks. They still think that it is the middle of the reactionary 20th century, so they are still able to tell everybody what to think. Nowadays, their audience consists mostly of people over 50 and almost everybody younger gets their news from reliable sources that
In the 19th century, everybody could start a newspaper. Every political party had a paper in every town where they were prominent that was a mouthpiece for them. In the 20th century, this ended as the government grew and politically protected certain newspapers.
Eventually, this was going to have to come to an end, which is what we are seeing today. The rise of the Internet has restored the 1st Amendment for everybody, not just media types who say whatever the people in power want them to say.
The old media may talk about how they like a free press, but the truth is that they really want to be a monopoly and to brainwash most of the country. Fortunately, their influence continues to fall, just as the influence of the Roman Catholic Church fell with the rise of the printing press.
New technology, at least at the start, levels the playing field and destroys entrenched elites. It is now inevitable that the Stephen A. Smiths of the world will continue to become less and less influential. A truly free people has no need of a "gatekeeper" to tell them what to think, so there is no true demand for so-called "Journalists" with elitist attitudes.
