      I’m still confused how we as balck people still play the “your not black enough card” then get mad when people judge our race as a whole. And T.O has consistently acted an ass his whole career making black male star athletes look like divas while Stephen has tried to set a good example for the black community and raise money for hbcu and demand black coaches get hired in the nba and nfl

    You know what is so strange about this interview for me personally? Stephen A Smith seems more enjoyable to listen to. His takes come off more crisp when asked a question. Envy asked him a question and Smith just answered it. Whereas on ESPN he shouts and does extra shit. I know it’s for TV and entertainment but I wonder how the show would be if he spoke like he did in this interview. Now when I watch ESPN it would feel like he’s forcing it, compared to Shannon it’s always natural.

    18:30…….Steven A Smith the problem is all of those other medicines have been through the proper protocol for testing (8years) before they were fda approved to become legal medications but the vaccine was rushed (1 year) testing and given to people months before an fda approval. Does anyone notice the difference?

      Not even 1 yr, months of testing. In fact, the American people are the test now.
