It Is Time, Once Again, To Wank For A Cause
It's the news you dared not hope was true: Nearly 10 years after it was introduced in San Francisco, the Masturbate-A-Thon is making its triumphant return. To The Netherlands!

STEPHEN A. SMITH APPROVES OF STEPHEN A. SMITH'S BARCALOUNGER

Tirico Plus Stephen A. Equals Dan Patrick
Like a lot of you, we were secretly rooting for Scott Van Pelt to end up with the ESPN Radio gig to replace Dan Patrick.

Are We Going To Have A Stephen A. Lawsuit?
We can understand if you didn't quite remember this, but Stephen A. Smith actually writes occasionally, if you can count "tapping furiously into a Blackberry" as "typing." But he doesn't do it for the Philadelphia Inquirer anymore, ever since that nasty "reassignment" story the paper ran. So what's ...

EVERYTHING HE EDITS IS IMPORTANT
Surely, by now, you've heard of the genius that is Wikiscanner, the program that reveals which corporations are editing their Wikipedia pages.

Stephon Marbury Has Something In Common With All Of You
Namely, he doesn't like Stephen A. Smith. That delightful zinger was the outro for Stephon Marbury's new talk show, called... actually, I don't know what the hell it's called. But it exists, and that, to be honest with you, is more than I wanted to know about it in the first place....

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).
