When he was on his rant on live tv I was going through his mentions to see how many people were killing him and I saw Monstar1s twitter in there. He does not agree with Stephen A. Thats my cool story of the day
I don't care what anybody says that headline was done on purpose. Headline writers uses puns.

Oh now I got you. I didn't take it that way, I would hope that everyone knows that the writer knew full well what was up, and jus thought he would get a free pass on it. What I do agree with is that people should be given second chances and that goes for most situations. I can't condone taking away a guys livelihood cause he said one ignorant comment. If he apologizes and means it then let him get another go at it. Chris Browns getting a free pass for committing a felony, yet its off with this dudes head cause he made a tasteless joke? Does not compute.Originally Posted by MonStar1

Ok I agree with Stephen A. BUT he was way off topic. Nothing he said had to do with Jeremy Lin. He started talking about black leaders going too hard on people. Thats different.
But you have to realize Stephen A. is a writer. He was sticking up for a person in his fraternity. Thats why he spoke on people losing jobs and not feeding their families. And thats also why he's talking about "forgive and show compassion". He catches alot of heat for things he says so he's putting out that message to be "compassionate" to people in his shoes. He said alot of good things but still dodged the actual "___ in the armor" comment.
He sounded dumb as hell saying "i don't know whats racist" or "sometimes we don't know what's offensive"...are you serious? Grown men with degrees in journalism or mass communications don't know whats offensive? Naw not buying that.

After Melo came back the NY times read "Marsh-Melo..melo comes up soft vs nets". Thats what they do on every website, newspaper, magazine.
So we really think that its acceptable to say "____ in the armor...Lins turnovers cost game" First off why is the phrase "____ in the armor" being used? What does that have to do with Lin, Knicks, basketball, or anything? The only word in that phrase that connected to the story was the slur. Maybe if they were the NY Knights then it could kinda make sense. It's like the dude was waiting to use that phrase. I'm sorry man I don't buy a guy that writes puns for a living choose that phrase and wasn't aware of what he was doing. Its unacceptable.
So Stephen A. said some great things but he completely dodged the topic and he actually stuck up for the writer on the low. Thats why I didn't like this segment.
QFT. Skip and A are on point with this. I love both of them but Stephen A is the truth.Originally Posted by Young Handsome
That is why I love ESPN First Take. They are not afraid to discuss sensitive issues.
Stephen A. Smith is that dude.
