If Skip was worried that he couldn't get his message across on Twitter then he shouldn't have posted it in the first place

I watched a lot of this, but I had to pause it to comment. Jalen makes the point that he doesn't like that Stephen A and Skip cross a line and disrespect people. I agree with that. Then, this happens:

Skip: "He gets paid how much?"
Jalen: "So, based on how much I get paid you should be able to disrespect me?"
Skip: "He's out in the public domain, man!"

Wait...what are we talking about here? We have a 25 minute segment because Jalen hurt Skip's feelings yesterday and he felt attacked by Jalen. Okay, how about this Skip, "You get paid how much? You're in the public domain, man!"

Done. You lose. You don't get to argue that what he gets paid and the manner in which he applies his craft makes him fair game and then take offense when people take shots at you. Man, this whole thing somehow made me hate Skip more.

EDIT: Just finished this video and Skip did say you can call him out on his opinions. However, if you can go on tv and say anything about an athlete, why can't said athlete treat you the same way? I want to know how what he does every day is different than what Jalen did to him.

Is anyone else severely annoyed by Stephen A Smith? Anytime he comes on tv I feel compelled to switch the channel.

Stephen A Smith gets really personal and demeaning when arguing points. He acts if it's not his point, then you are a stupid idiot. He even treats them as such. I would have already busted his lip if he ever talked to me the way he does some of his co-workers. Then again, maybe they ask him and pay them to do that merely for ratings.

No one asks him. That's how he is. Rather chivalrous with the ladies though. Funny thing is he and Skip are like bff's...which may not be too surprising really.

My favorite moment with Stephen A. was when he was interviewing a college basketball coach one time. And I can't remember the coach or the school but the coach was talking about the upcoming season and he mentioned how a certain player wasn't returning next season. Again, I can't remember his name, let's just call him Matty for now.

So the coach is talking and he says "well we won't have Matty next year" and he keeps talking.

Then Stephen A. chimes in and is like "Hold up. Hold up. Hold up! Are you telling me right here. Are you saying right now on national television. Are you saying that Matty won't return next year. Is that what you're saying??? (of course he's yelling the whole time)"

The coach looks back at him kind of confused and says..."Well yeah. Matty's a senior, he's graduating"

Oh man, I still laugh about that

there is a reason they call him screaming Stephen...worked for the local Philly papers for a while. cant figure out how he stays employed

after watching the follow up, skip bayless is a bigger douce then i thought

Excellent clip. You almost never hear this kind of honesty on a talking heads show. Loved all three guys in this. Isn't it funny how the guy who seemingly had a temper on the court was the one who processed information first and provided the most thoughtful counters?
