Lurker Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Exhibit A for this story (although in Stephen A's case I would ask for a bit more): https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/04/13/espn-asks-highest-paid-commentators-take-pay-cut-amid-employee-furloughs/ ESPN asks highest-paid commentators to take pay cut amid employee furloughs "ESPN asked its highest-paid commentators to take a voluntary salary reduction in the wake of the sports hiatus caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic. The three-month, 15 percent pay cut would affect roughly 100 of the company’s highest-paid broadcasters, writers and analysts." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stank_Nasty Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 heres the whole 7 minute segment. Stephen A takes Allen. Kellerman takes anyone behind center for NE ?. And then Clark begrudgingly and backhandedly takes Allen. Basically called it a guy winning the battle of not very good qb’s. As if all qb’s are supposed to be polished greats by year 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank Stare Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Bunch of blowhards. Stephen A’s inaccuracies and Kellerman’s ball washing aside, what compels Ryan Clark to say “I’m not a fan of Josh Allen”? Man these guys are dug in on their predraft bias. I don’t think anyone can watch Josh and say he’s not at least entertaining or a likable guy. “I don’t like him” seems like some petty playground ish.

TroutDog Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) I’m no Stephen A fan but he had the most cogent argument of the three...the latter two simply being lousy at best. Given that, the mistakes were glaring and rather putrid on Stephen A’s part. Also agree with @Mark Vader: Stephen A was WAY toned down compared to most of his deliveries.

billsfan89 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Levi White I can forgive as he probably just mixed up some names (he even said Tredaevious after showing he knew he messed it up) but he really couldn't even do basic due diligence to know that Shaq Lawson and Jordan Phillips were their big free agency losses? It is sad that even when ESPN gives the Bills some love they still manage to bungle it. Edited April 14, 2020 by billsfan89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 What gets me is that he starts with "Believe it or not" and says "Hear me out" as if saying Josh Allen is better than Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jarrett Stidham, and Sam Darnold is some kind of outlandish take. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I saw that and was laughing at his ignorance. That being said, at least he was predicting Josh would be the best QB in the AFCE in the meantime. Plus, when he talked to Jim Kelly a bit later in the show, she mentioned that we don't have Lawson any more, as if to prove he knew all along.

I get the most enjoyment from him by turning off the sound and watching the facial expressions and giatrics. I'm a fan of the free market, especially in the entertainment industry where not many get hurt when it's unfair. Smith draws eyeballs so ESPN thinks he's worth them money they pay him. It's not about whether he's wrong but whether he's entertaining, which he often is on both counts. A couple of days ago he was bemoaning the Bills because they fail at crucial times (a sentiment I read on this forum often but he didn't say "Billsy") but he used last year's season finish as an example because "they lost their last 3 games" of the season, including losing to the Jets. Anybody paying attention knew the Bills sat their starters in week 17 but Smith was too caught up in his point to think of that. Smith is first and foremost a basketball fan/columnist. That's his sports passion. Kellerman's is boxing. So, I take their opinions on the NFL with a pillar of salt. Ryan Clark, IMHO, is one of the best football commentators on TV. He's both knowledgeable and funny. He knows how the players think and doesn't shy away from criticizing players that he thinks are doing stupid s#%t. In this case, when he says he "doesn't like" Allen, he's obviously speaking from a player perspective, not a personal dislike. A lot of football analysts don't think much of Allen, even if they've seen him play. I'm personally still on the fence with Allen. As to the question of "who's the best QB in the AFC East?", I think that's tough because none of them are clearly Top 10 talent. I can't confidently say that Allen will outperform the other QBs in the division this year but all of the excuses he might have had are gone. It's prove it year for Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Steven A Smith is great on basketball and for everything else, he’s entertainment. He’s hilarious and is now in on the joke. Miles times better than that idiot Skip. I literally can’t believe anyone seriously watches him. He is the guy who will argue for hours that the sky isn’t blue.
