Stephen A. Smith, Voice Of Reason In A World Of Insanity
OK, now we're not gonna get into politics this morning, but someone sent us this clip of Stephen A. Smith — listed as "Stephen Smith" — debating atheism on CNN. This isn't the first time he's debated non-sports topics on CNN, but this is the first time we've grabbed a clip....
That Other Guy... He Wasn't Even Acting
That's Stephen A. Smith's brief appearance on "General Hospital," an ABC daytime soap that never really recovered from the loss of Jack Wagner (don't judge me). I've gotta hand it to Stephen A., that wasn't bad. He was able to step outside himself, fully immerse himself in the role, and, just for a ...
Jay Mariotti Was On To Lovie Smith From The Beginning
We haven't made fun of Jay Mariotti for a while, so it's probably time. Good to shake off the rust sometimes....
The Trailer Has Cheesy Doodles, Right?
This still is from the upcoming February 2 episode of "General Hospital," in which our man Stephen A. Smith will make a guest appearance. He will play a reporter "covering the hostage crisis at the Metro Court Hotel." Stephen A. is reportedly a lifelong fan of the program....
Rex Grossman, Like Jim McMahon, But Without The Sunglasses And Headband
We don't mean to imply that Bears fans can get a little crazy in their devotion to their team — they can, but they're usually not mean about it — but this sign, seen at Soldier Field yesterday, seems a bit much. We're amazed this actually stayed up, we really are....
That'll Be All For "Quite Frankly"
We haven't received any definitive confirmation, but there are rumors swirling this morning that, after last night's taping of "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith," ESPN executive vice president Norby Williamson — Norby! — informed the show's staff that the program has been canceled and will air it...
Let's Go To The Studio, Where It's Jimmy With Keggy And The Gang
Considering that FOX has barely showed any college football this year and therefore has no established halftime "in the studio" team, we were curious how they would handle last night, which after all was the supposed biggest game of the year. We admire their conclusion: They just picked two retired ...
BCS Blogdome: There's Got To Be A Morning After
What they're saying in Blogville about Florida's 41-14 win over Ohio State in Monday's BCS Championship Game ......
Tubby Smith's Ineptitude Captured Through Majesty of Song
The delirious, one-track mind of University of Kentucky basketball fan "Katman", author of Tubby Smith bashing blog Dynasty Defenders, has reached a new level of absurdity thanks to this recently released "music" video which aims to spread the word of his deranged gospel via this YouTube masterpiec...

Oh Miller Don't Wanna Dance With Somebody
And thankfully, I won't have to watch him feel the heat with somebody. With somebody who (somebody who) loves him. Sigh....
Troy Smith, Terror In The Skies
Troy Smith might be the Heisman Trophy winner, but you gotta be careful with that trophy. Some people might think it's a potential terrorist device....
Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Carl Monday Vs. Stephen A. Smith
All right: Time for the next step in the Elite Eight. This thing is gonna fly by now, by the way; the final two Elite Eight matchups will be next week, and then it's Final Four time, and then, jeez, then this whole virtual construction is completed. To remind you, here's the bracket (Berman's got a ...
Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Ozzie Guillen Vs. Stephen A. Smith
Just two more first-round matchups left until the Elite Eight, and we've got a potential barnburner here today. (Does anyone other than Musberger use "barnburner" anymore? We like the term.)...
Emmitt Smith, You Are A Champion! The Emptiness Is Temporarily Gone!
It appears that American can finally release its collective tension: "Dancing With The Stars" has finally crowned a winner. And it's none other than ... Emmitt Smith! Yes, the former Cowboys (and Buzzsaw) running back emerged victorious last night, barely edging out Mario Lopez, and any contest in...
Lonnie Smith Wanted To Shoot John Schuerholz
We had heard that Lonnie Smith, the former Cardinals and Braves outfielder whose frenetic baserunning was almost as breathtaking as watching him try to play defense (Bill James once pointed out that Smith "really does fall down almost every game), had battled some drug problems back in the late '80s...
Stephen A. Loves His Birthday, Apparently
Ordinarily, we try to ignore the New York Post's Phil Mushnick; he's the gnattering old guy constantly yelling at the kids to get the hell off his porch. (Not that we have an inherent problem with this; Dr. Z has made a career out of it. But at least he's a nasty wine drunk, and that goes a long w...
John L. Smith Knows What You're Thinking
And he's acting accordingly:...
ALL THEY NEED TO DO IS BOND OVER THESE CHEESY DOODLES
You might have thought that ESPN's Stephen A. Smith wisdom and expertise were limited to trying to cover his mistakes by lying or the "NBA DRAFT!!!" or even naming Web sites. But no. He is so much more versatile than that: Stephen A. not only understands Allen Iverson, he wants to be like George C...
Unfortunately, It Appears Emmitt's Going To Be On This Show For A While
Last night, Emmitt Smith continued his inevitable decline into post-athlete career depression by "shining" on "Dancing With The Stars," impressing the judges with his ... aw, jeez, we can't even type this without feeling bad about ourselves and everything about sports....
