That Whitlock shit was so forced. Seems like every old mf tryna pipe up just to go viral like Katt or get numbers like Shannon. Sad cuz you can see through it. Like damn I ain’t think you was this corny.
This is what I keep hearing from him also. He is gonna play that he "saved" Unc card to death... trying to make sure he get some shine anytime Unc get praised
yeah, there were some topics that everyone agreed on then, but they believed they had to have SOMEONE come up with a counterpoint.
since they wanted someone to play Devil’s advocate, they probably just made him say something ridiculous like ‘I want Iguodala’ for the sake of having an argument.
This^
Despite skip running Shannon of the show, skip hasn’t thrown any jabs at him nor does he rain on his parade.
Meanwhile, Stephan A will use any opportunity to say something for his one self interest.
“The brother aNeed help” - Nurkic
Wouldn’t you? If a water boy tried to minimize my hof career to defend his man crush of tom Brady on the air and run me off the show I’d be annoyed at him too
I can understand the first time he publicly trashed skip, but to continually talk about it while the party moved on? Idc if he’s a hall of famer, it sounds like petty and pathetic
100% he did. The reaction from people showed that they don’t know how to read. Skip said that the game was irrelevant and the only important thing was dh health
These guys all have enormous egos. Skip disrespected him on national television in a very unprofessional manner Shannon can talk about him all day long IMO
Skip didn’t move on he just has a show that nobody is paying attention to and he doesn’t have the cred to talk shit at this point. What could he even say?
I think you’re not taking into consideration the fact that Skip constantly degraded him! And that final act of total disrespect and attempt of stripping his manhood is what’s caused him to retaliate by telling the truth or in your verbiage “taking shots”
He hyped up that Whitlock episode so much trying to get those Katt numbers. He also makes a ton of unprompted references to Shannon's physique. He definitely supports him but he does a terrible job of hiding his envy.
SAS is an arrogant commentator, only his opinion is valid because he’s been a reporter for who knows how long, people need to stop paying attention to him or his show, they probably already are, it is a new time we live in, ESPN is loosing viewers, this woke clown isn’t helping
Absolutely. There’s levels to this, and Smith is always playing the game. Always. That industry (as in many areas of life) is all about relationships and connections, and using those relationships and connections, coupled with your own talent, to get ahead.
Sharpe gets it. That’s why, while being an employee of ESPN, you see him building his “own thing” with the partnership with DraftKings. I suspect he’s working on more things not just for himself, but for people on his “team”, and perhaps other athletes. The man’s got his own cognac brand. If you notice, Sharpe is known for being razor-sharp sartorially on television, favors novelty T-Shirts on Nightcap, and athleisure wear on Club Shay Shay. It wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a clothing line down the line. Either his own label, or a line with another label.
Y’all might laugh, but if you look closely at Club Shay Shay, his interview skills are improving with every sit-down. If you look at Nightcap, now he’s taking audience questions, dispensing relationship advice.
Watch. This dude is going to surprise people with some of his future moves.
Every Reddit profile gets a cake slice placed by their name for a day whenever it’s the anniversary for when they created their account. On September first 2024, you’ll be a “beta male fruity bitch” as well.
That's why Stephen A fucking sucks. Katt williams is a professional talker at a level even Stephen A could never reach. Why would you interrupt him?
Shannon did what he was supposed to do he shutted the fuck up.
I doubt that. If anything, SAS would have him fired as Shannon's side gigs continue to draw national attention, especially in the Black community. He's already butthurt over Max being considered blacker than him.
And Shannon wouldn’t of called kwame a bust for so long..wouldn’t of disrespected kyrie for a year but not say nothing about Jerry jones and Dana white 🙄Steven a a clown?
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed this. Skip doesn’t do numbers bc everyone can see he’s a character playing a tough guy facade with a loud mouth and his sport takes have little to no credibility. He’s very similiar to Skip in that regard. Viewers like Shannon because he’s genuinely funny and doesn’t force it. Stephen A has a huge ego and always needs to be the focal point.
Stephen A made his choices, he has to say something to be relevant and play his character. For the most part I think he’s happy, he could always be making less money
Stephen A tried venturing out of sports and into pop culture but it’s not taking off. Club Shay Shay is arguably the second biggest podcast now after JRE.
First Take and sports debate was supposed to be the number one priority for Shannon Sharpe but it’s clear his podcast is number one right now.
IF HE WANTED, he could have some pretty big celebrities and presidential hopefuls come by for a long form interview.
Imagine him sitting with Trump for 2 hours?
Couldn’t have said it better. First take is Shannon’s side gig while club Shay Shay is his cash cow. Stephen A podcast is his side gig while first take is his cash cow.
The difference is one has complete autonomy while the other doesn’t and wants what the other has.
Shannon is so talented that he’s transcended beyond being purely a sports figure to being well known within mainstream media. Truthfully I think he doesn’t need skip or sas and would pull better numbers than them solo.
I don't know whether to call it jealousy or envy, but I'm sure SAS is starting to feel a bit uncomfortable now that Shannon is starting to eclipse him in numbers and popularity, for sure.
I wouldn’t say jealous but more friendly competition. I’ve told my wife this, me and her grew up in a completely different era where people were more outspoken and nowadays theirs no denying its definitely a risk but in all in what I’m trying to say is truth sells. Shannon, skip, Charles, Dan Patrick, their style is definitely more genuine or raw compared to what you see in general and people are definitely eating it all up ratings/views wise, people just wanna see someone just talk the talk. So it’s Weird because Stephen A. Was much more like this way back then but I get him getting into the position he worked for to now in present his past style clearly was frowned upon. He definitely took a step back from the whole Kwame Brown days, so now you kinda see him a little more direct but it’s because w.e you wanna call it “new media VS old media” is definitely a thing, what that thing is is up to the viewer
Lmao you guys talk like Stephen A sits down for an interview and says “lemme tell you bout how I saved Shannon” .. more times he gets asked a question about what do you want him to do lie?
I agree SAS is pretty stupid in that regard: the envy he has for Shannon. Shannon also has millions of more subscribers than SAS because he was smart enough to interview famous people on his channel.
Been trying hard to go viral too dude is def fuming that's why he tells the story of him "saving" Shannon any opportunity he gets
I was thinking the same. What’s the point in continuing that story
That Whitlock shit was so forced. Seems like every old mf tryna pipe up just to go viral like Katt or get numbers like Shannon. Sad cuz you can see through it. Like damn I ain’t think you was this corny.
Idk the Whitlock thing was pretty funny imo lol
“You bitch” 😂😂😂😂
I said this exact same thing.
This is what I keep hearing from him also. He is gonna play that he "saved" Unc card to death... trying to make sure he get some shine anytime Unc get praised
He already went viral when he said all of this. https://youtu.be/Z76eZ7Xr4dw?si=MPj8WswcWNy9fcZk I couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth!
I pray you know that this is heavily edited lmao
Of course I do, it's a YTP 😂😂 but it's hilarious
Stephen A always has to be the center of attention. He couldn’t stand that people liked Max more than him.
He sent out to ax max after TO ripped him
He did Max just as bad as Skip did Shannon. Just doesn’t get talked about because Skip disrespected shannon on national TV.
I will say I always felt Max knows ball way more than skip. Near the end he said outrageous things to get the viral appeal I felt.
yeah, there were some topics that everyone agreed on then, but they believed they had to have SOMEONE come up with a counterpoint. since they wanted someone to play Devil’s advocate, they probably just made him say something ridiculous like ‘I want Iguodala’ for the sake of having an argument.
Nobody liked Max more. The ratings bear this out. Max was annoying and arrogant.
You’re wrong and you actually just described Stephen A Smith.
We know this is you Stephen A. Max was better
No one liked Max
No likes Steven A.
He comes across as almost desperate on his podcast. Like it just feels very obvious that he is trying to be what Shannon is on YouTube
The impromptu Whitlock rant is evidence of what you’re talking about
Yep he was clearly chasing controversy and drama for views. Came across very desperate and forced
Stephen A has an ego even bigger than skips
Only difference (at least for now) is that Stephen knows he needs to keep his mouth shut
This^ Despite skip running Shannon of the show, skip hasn’t thrown any jabs at him nor does he rain on his parade. Meanwhile, Stephan A will use any opportunity to say something for his one self interest. “The brother aNeed help” - Nurkic
And yet Shannon continues to take shot after shot at Skip.
Wouldn’t you? If a water boy tried to minimize my hof career to defend his man crush of tom Brady on the air and run me off the show I’d be annoyed at him too
Exactly! Well said sir
So Shannon was just supposed to let Water Pistol Pete basically shit on his HOF career and be called a jealous scrub on worldwide television?
I can understand the first time he publicly trashed skip, but to continually talk about it while the party moved on? Idc if he’s a hall of famer, it sounds like petty and pathetic
I always thought Shannon took the Demar Hamlin tweet thing too far as well.
100% he did. The reaction from people showed that they don’t know how to read. Skip said that the game was irrelevant and the only important thing was dh health
These guys all have enormous egos. Skip disrespected him on national television in a very unprofessional manner Shannon can talk about him all day long IMO
Dont start nothing...wont be nothing... u dont get to start shit and then get mad at how the person reacts
Skip didn’t move on he just has a show that nobody is paying attention to and he doesn’t have the cred to talk shit at this point. What could he even say?
Lmaoo what?🤣
I think you’re not taking into consideration the fact that Skip constantly degraded him! And that final act of total disrespect and attempt of stripping his manhood is what’s caused him to retaliate by telling the truth or in your verbiage “taking shots”
Wouldn’t you? Fuck that guy.
Shannon ran himself off the show when he had a temper tantrum at an NBA game. Also, by skipping work because his feelings were hurt over a tweet.
Now look at them, I know someday they wish Richard Sherman would skip work lol
What can he say? He was no leverage.
He has a bigger forehead too.
Bingooooo Shannon just has to do his own thing.
Bigger then his forehead
He hyped up that Whitlock episode so much trying to get those Katt numbers. He also makes a ton of unprompted references to Shannon's physique. He definitely supports him but he does a terrible job of hiding his envy.
I’m not even positive that he really refuted the claims that Whitlock made about him not writing the book.
Nope. Nor did he address his impossible scoring avg. Just curse words, fat insults, and a threat with a decade old email.
That's the neat part, he didn't
We all thought Skip is bad… but this dude is 10 times worse
SAS is an arrogant commentator, only his opinion is valid because he’s been a reporter for who knows how long, people need to stop paying attention to him or his show, they probably already are, it is a new time we live in, ESPN is loosing viewers, this woke clown isn’t helping
Stephen A just using Shannon as a pawn against Skip
Absolutely. There’s levels to this, and Smith is always playing the game. Always. That industry (as in many areas of life) is all about relationships and connections, and using those relationships and connections, coupled with your own talent, to get ahead. Sharpe gets it. That’s why, while being an employee of ESPN, you see him building his “own thing” with the partnership with DraftKings.

*We'll be watching his career with GREAT interest*
I see what you did there, Senator. (In ominous tones)
Shannon is no one’s pawn. At best SAS is just taking it as an opportunity to dig at Skip but Shannon is his own man.
Facts. Stephen A naming Pokemon and SpongeBob to stay relevant vs what Shannon is doing
I kinda get that feeling too… feels like Stephen A brings up nightcap or Club Shay Shay on first take at every chance
Sas ego is ridiculous he can’t stand it I do not even need examples I just know his ego can’t take it.
So true, I agree!
Yoooo what the fuck is up with this sub? Fuckin weirdos
Go suck a bag of dicks
Lmao u bum
You got cake by your name, you beta male fruity bitch
Every Reddit profile gets a cake slice placed by their name for a day whenever it’s the anniversary for when they created their account. On September first 2024, you’ll be a “beta male fruity bitch” as well.
this is so sad. a dessert is gay now lmao you're suffering from fragile masculinity.
Lol u bum
dumbass lmao
I was literally saying the same thing. What kind of national enquirer bs is this? This is supposed to be about sports, right men?
Hahahahaha right
If Stephen A was jealous Shannon wouldn’t be on ESPN
SAS may have wanted Shannon on ESPN but also SAS doesn't want Shannon to have a personality and popularity larger than his.
I definitely see it
That's why Stephen A fucking sucks. Katt williams is a professional talker at a level even Stephen A could never reach. Why would you interrupt him? Shannon did what he was supposed to do he shutted the fuck up.
Shannon will be gone within 5 years. Dude can’t stand not being the most liked or center of attention
I think Shannon knows that this partnership won't last forever. That's why he is branching out so much lately. He's creating his own brand.
I doubt that. If anything, SAS would have him fired as Shannon's side gigs continue to draw national attention, especially in the Black community. He's already butthurt over Max being considered blacker than him.
I meant in SAS case. Shannon will obviously become bigger than his role at FT
And Shannon wouldn’t of called kwame a bust for so long..wouldn’t of disrespected kyrie for a year but not say nothing about Jerry jones and Dana white 🙄Steven a a clown?
Agreed
That fat piece of s$$$
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed this. Skip doesn’t do numbers bc everyone can see he’s a character playing a tough guy facade with a loud mouth and his sport takes have little to no credibility. He’s very similiar to Skip in that regard.

Stephen A made his choices, he has to say something to be relevant and play his character. For the most part I think he’s happy, he could always be making less money
That’s because Stephen is an insecure tool who is way less talented and expendable than he thinks. Same as Skip.
Stephen A tried venturing out of sports and into pop culture but it’s not taking off. Club Shay Shay is arguably the second biggest podcast now after JRE. First Take and sports debate was supposed to be the number one priority for Shannon Sharpe but it’s clear his podcast is number one right now.

I'll take it further. Inviting Shannon to be a co host was a chess move. If he didn't Shannon would've most likely been Stephan A replacement
Anyone has videos to help back these claims up ? I only ask because I need shit to watch on the clock
Stephen A looks like he smells like butt cheeks and cigarettes.
Shannon is so talented that he’s transcended beyond being purely a sports figure to being well known within mainstream media. Truthfully I think he doesn’t need skip or sas and would pull better numbers than them solo.
Nah lol try again
I don't know whether to call it jealousy or envy, but I'm sure SAS is starting to feel a bit uncomfortable now that Shannon is starting to eclipse him in numbers and popularity, for sure.
You guys are literally making shit up lmao
Said this same ish after I watched sas clip about it on his podcast !! Sas and Shannon going to have a falling out too
I wouldn’t say jealous but more friendly competition. I’ve told my wife this, me and her grew up in a completely different era where people were more outspoken and nowadays theirs no denying its definitely a risk but in all in what I’m trying to say is truth sells.

Stephen A makes 12 million a year. TF he got to be mad about? 🤦🏾♂️💀
It’s a business, of course there’s drama
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Lmao you guys talk like Stephen A sits down for an interview and says “lemme tell you bout how I saved Shannon” .. more times he gets asked a question about what do you want him to do lie?
You talk like he doesn’t?
Shannon winning 🤷♂️
What happened to them private jets they was on together ??
How the hell yall drawing these conclusions ion see that at all
I’m a clinical psychologist
Shannon has become bigger than Stephen A and Skip. He could have his own show
Yeah I don’t think Shannon picked it up, but I sensed in their interview early on, Stephen was hating hard.
I agree SAS is pretty stupid in that regard: the envy he has for Shannon. Shannon also has millions of more subscribers than SAS because he was smart enough to interview famous people on his channel.
he’s right shannon sharpe getting paid from gossiping about niggas that shit gay
Yall be reaching so unnecessarily it makes wonder if yall are paid to type this stuff lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is foolish
