Stephen A. Smith Will Be On ESPN For Six Consecutive Hours Next Week

Well, ESPN2 technically. But yeah, this is happening on Monday:

On Monday, May 20, Stephen “A.M.” Smith, as he will be dubbed for the day, will co-host ESPN Audio/ESPN2 programming for six consecutive hours starting at 6 a.m., when he joins Mike Greenberg for Mike & Mike on ESPN Audio and ESPN2. At 10 a.m., he will take his regular turn on ESPN2’s First Take with Skip Bayless and Cari Champion.

Lord. ESPN released this news within the last hour, perhaps as a way to distract us all from fartgate. Good try, guys.
