bxbomb Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 must have been the white man behind this Smith's 'Quite Frankly' is canceled by ESPNBy Gail ShisterINQUIRER TV COLUMNISTESPN yesterday pulled the plug on Stephen A. Smith's weeknight interview show, Quite Frankly.Its finale was last night. Smith, an Inquirer sportswriter since 1994, launched Frankly in August 2005. His high-decibel delivery earned him the nickname, "Screamin' A. Smith."Frankly ran at 6:30 weeknights, moving to 11 p.m. in January 2006. Its cancellation was not a surprise - the show never drew big ratings.Smith's presence will be expanded across numerous platforms, the network announced yesterday.To wit: He'll be featured more regularly on SportsCenter, NBA studio programming, and on ESPNEWS, as well as host four TV interview specials surrounding big events.In addition, "opportunities" with ESPN the Magazine and ESPN.com columns "will be explored," the network said."Stephen A. connects with fans because he brings great energy, knowledge and strong opinions," Norby Williamson, ESPN's executive in charge of remote and studio production, said in a statement."While Quite Frankly delivered strong interviews and discussion, this new role will provide a better showcase for Stephen A.'s impactful voice to be heard across numerous forms of ESPN media.""Yes, it's true, and I support ESPN's decision," Smith said. "Doing a brand new show on ESPN2 was a tremendous challenge and I'm proud of what we accomplished."I've learned a great deal. I've also learned there's limits to what I can withstand in regards to my schedule. Now I move on to future challenges - while enthusiastically embracing old ones like writing for The Inquirer on a more frequent basis. This is not an end for me. This is just the beginning. I'm just getting started.stay black Stephen A....better yet stay away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattm2o Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 I just hate that he chimes in on other sports when the only thing he really knows is NBA basketball. He sounds like a fool half the time trying to sound like he is expert in the other sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
