[@pertjacanape]

SAS uses the body language of derangement while rushing forward trying to sound articulate and cogent. Max shows restraint in his choice of words and in what sentiments he bothers to express- in Max we see a man who is holding back wisely. Aristotle noted that listeners generally prefer the person who models this sort of restraint when speaking to or about others; whereas listeners actually take the person to be less likeable who "keeps it real" or who immediately blurts things out the instant that he feels a certain way. The schtick that SAS plays would make him out to be less likeable and less credible in most everyone's eyes, according to an exceptionally intelligent man.

SAS delusional

[@nlmaa]

Terrell Owens wasn't lying when you said that about Stephen A Smith

[@brandondinh8841]

SAS got him kicked bc he had more respect from the black community than he did 😂

[@jermainejohnson9414]

He actually chose to work with “mad dog” over Max. That says a lot about S.A.S.

[@shadd.6693]

That’s cuz compared to Mad Dog, Stephen A’s takes look real progressive as opposed to Mad Dog who is part of the “Good Ol’ Boys” network, ijs…

[@pleaseNthanx]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@k.wit.da.9z]

Max>SAS all day

[@user-gs3zk8iw1z]

The truth is Stephen A was jealous of Max, everyone knows it!!!! Max is way more intelligent and a way more of a attractive human being

[@Lmuas]

Max was hella boring… they werent a good mix

[@gwenmarie7311]

Max Was not boring!!

[@Lmuas]

@@gwenmarie7311 its subjective then. He was to me. They werent a good mix.

[@tx3973]

Max was that mf an still is. If what a person says hurts your feelings it's probably true .....speaking on Terrell that is lol. An from my perspective he's made a very valid point.

[@troydorcy3585]

Stephen a is no parts of tough

[@Peakfreud]

None lol

[@renderuntocaesarwhatiscaes2300]

Max aint doing interviews on fox tho also.. Steve A try to play both ways he think dont nobody catch that shh.. dude goes over on fox and any little thing he says that could been seen as right wing they love it they eat that shh up. I seen it… and i was shocked what is Steven A doing on here.. because they paid him for his time.. he willing to take money from anybody if they offered Steven A enough he’d get on tv and denounce black people as a whole. That’s the problem he have Max was solid af. A real one in every sense of the word. Max got a meme of him wearing a Kufi that aint by accident the people loved max

[@relldog8]

Agreed

[@gwenmarie7311]

I know I did!! I miss Max

[@dbecker33]

Stephen A thinks he was a high level athlete 🤣🤣

[@p8onl444]

These dudes beefing like rappers of the '90z. Stephen A arguing with T.O makes no sense when he needs to check Kwame Brown who called him out. Stephen A has some laundry to do before exposing T.O

[@vanillatornado8390]

I liked Skip and SAS together. Maybe I got older, or they got older, but they've both turned into cartoon characters since they separated. Related, imagine if Skip publicly spoke out about Shannon the way SAS has repeatedly about Kellerman, he'd be fired.

[@QueenOfTopicsTv]

I was always taught to listen closely to what people say and you’ll find out everything you need to know about them! Steven A Smith literally just admitted that he got Max fired because the show numbers were stagnant! Anybody who works with Steven A Smith after that should watch their back! He’s basically saying he’s a user who only wants to work with who’s hot and when they’re not he gets rid of them. I understand business, but what about Steven’s contribution to the show? Why can’t he help the numbers grow if he’s so good! What he just revealed without directly saying it is He’s not as good as people think he is! Basically he’s only good when someone who’s hot or popular is sitting next to him on the show! This is not a good look for Steven A Smith! 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@chelseaseagles7770]

Lol and I don’t think his hiding tht fact he said the ratings dropped after max joined should tell you that but if you on a show and b4 you added someone new you was #1 then after your ratings drop u would try to make changes too and u guys need to stop the hating sas is first take let’s not ack like sas not the reason we’re watching we was checking to see what he have to say and we black ppl need to stop building up just to kick then in the back when at the top and you said about hot was max hot when he joined first take cause I don’t remembering it being so

[@DeshawnHamer-ut3np]

Stephen a is the definition of a 🤡🤡🤡

[@jameswashington9947]

Max was cool with me 😅

[@letzgitit-jq8ug]

Max was good stood his ground and debated with 🔥 in him...just as good as Stephen...Stephen couldn't handle that look who he has now on the show now

[@toxichammertoe8696]

Stephen was getting jealous for Max was becoming more popular and Respected by athletes and Especially black athletes... When T.O. told Stephen that Max is more blacker then him, that was the final straw ...Stephen knew he had to get rid of Max in order for him to keep his job...Stephen looked at Max as a threat to his job....its just that simple AND...I'm giving myself a 👍

[@fucore85]

SAS thinks he’s liked more than he really is.. ESPN gases his ass up.

[@TheRealHulk34]

That “I want iguodala” thing must’ve really pissed Stephen A off😂

He's saying it left "people" wondering, I don't think Stephen should speak for how other ppl felt about Max. Lol...most ppl liked him. I stopped watching when he left that show.

[@donaldmclaughlin1832]

Max was much more knowledgeable about all sports and an expert in boxing. By far more entertaining to me because he isn't spitting 100% hot takes!!!!!!! Steven A should have never even been hired!!!!!

[@stephaniewilliams168]

Agreed he is loud and boisterous. Max did bring his own style to ESPN

[@guidopared1632]

That’s an absolutely terrible take, Don. To say that Stephen A should never have been hired wreaks of hate and ignorance.

I'm from Uptown New Orleans and Max the reason I watch the show and Steven A don't even know it he don't like Max cause Max make him look stupid

[@rena0505fun]

Stephan A. was an athlete?😗 Why do ppl listen to him when he criticizes black athletes.

[@app1mxh]

Never a pro 😢

[@Obiwankanoli]

Stephen A is a classic badass without being a badass.

[@unfortunatelywestvee]

The absence of both journalism and playin sports never made us ask Max,"why should we listen to you?" But SAS you make us wonder that all the time.

[@PeaceFan1]

Max K was ANNOYING and I was Glad he got Fired!!!

[@LghTsKnJames]

Marcellus Wiley broke this down perfectly on his show today. This is also a great take. Stephen A just keeps exposing himself.

[@ChroniclerOfJudah]

I liked Max. I didn’t agree with him on most things, particularly when he went political but I liked that he tried to raise the level of thought in sports talk.

[@takerfan4ever]

Honestly, I agreed with Max sports wise and politically over Stephen A.. only Cain I agreed with more politically.

[@ChroniclerOfJudah]

@@takerfan4ever Same, Max had better political arguments than Stephen A, I just disagreed with most of his premises. Stephen A on the other hand was just a fool which is unfortunate.

[@gregorywhatever7461]

I don’t agree with Stephen A here, I didn’t think Max brought the show down. I thought he was interesting on multiple topics. Was he as good as Max? Maybe not…but I don’t think he was carrying the show at the level Stephen A is claiming.

[@MrCageinblood]

Steven doesn't realize people eventually get tired of being yelled at while watching tv
