The noted personality of ESPN, Stephen A. Smith, has recently spoken regarding his dispute with Jason Whitlock, the former football player who is now a famed sports columnist and podcaster. In one of the recent episodes of “The Stephen A. Smith Show” podcast, the sports personality did not hold back and expressed his opinions clearly.
The feud between the two is ongoing and Whitlock has also shared that Smith has written lies and over-elaborated in his memoir, “Straight Shooter: A Memoir of Second Chances and First Takes” to which Smith has recently replied with severity.
According to Fox News, Smith has shared, “Jason Whitlock, I said that name. t’s not a name I’ve uttered. I normally don’t do that, but it’s necessary to do now. I’ve had enough of that fat bastard, that piece of s—. And I want to make sure that before I go to break, I want anyone out there who watches me, anyone out there who knows me. Anyone out there, no matter what you think of me, I want you to remember I never talk about him. I never talk about my colleagues. I don’t do that. This is a first. But it’s necessary.”

He further expressed, “Did you tell them that once the same article in Deadspin came out, weeks later you wrote a lengthy apology to me in an email? Begging me to forgive you? Pointing out how you were betrayed by this particular writer, so you know how I must feel that you betrayed me. Did you tell the folks that, you b—h. Did you tell ‘em, you fat piece of s—. Did you tell them that?”
Whitlock earlier shared his opinions on “Fearless with Jason Whitlock” on Blaze Podcast Network. Whitlock on the show shared, “It’s comical how little he actually knows about sports, but someone installed him as the No. 1 voice of sports. That’s what Katt Williams is talking about. Kevin Hart is an OK comedian. Someone installed him as the face of comedy, and gave him a deal and put things in place for him to have all the success because they can control Kevin Hart.”
“That’s what happened to Stephen A. Smith. If you go read Straight Shooter, you can see it everywhere. If you go read his memoir and listen to the stories he tells about getting a “basketball” scholarship to Winston-Salem State, it’s so mind-blowingly preposterous, and stupid, and fabricated.”
This is embarrassing, Andrew. SAS just made a fool of himself. We've never seen anyone at a major media company react this unprofessionally to a review of their work or just act this publicly unprofessional. And this is your takeaway? Your expectations for SAS are so low that… https://t.co/FYg85LGAHv

I knew Stephen A was limited. I didn't know he was this limited. I'm starting to feel sorry for him. I beat up a baby seal.
