Deadspin HOF Nominee: Stephen A. Smith
Deadspin has been having fun with Stephen A. Smith since the site began. (The very first week, actually.) We've even come around to like him. A little.
Stephen A. wasn't a presence at the NBA Draft this year, which meant the official retirement of the Stephen A. Smith Heckling Society. Which is just tragic.
But the fun with Stephen A. — started way way back when — continues. At some points, Stephen A. and Deadspin have reached a bit of an uneasy peace, but those points never last very long. Wherever there's Stephen A. out there opining, we'll be there.
But is it it enough to get him in the Hall of Fame? Seventy five percent is the threshold for induction. Vote below: Polls will be open through the weekend.
