Stephan A was obliviating/hot taking/shouting about something and they would immediately interrupt whatever they were doing and listen in to Stephan A.
LeBatard hated the whole sports "hot-take" argumentative opinions genre

Stephan A smith is sooo annoying

Rat

Ignore Stephen A for anything but NBA. Then just put up with him.

Turnpike Lane

4/12/21 12:29pm

Boxing too. He's legitimately great w/boxing

reddead

4/12/21 1:46pm

Is he? IDK, but he made a fool of himself talking MMA w/Rogan.

Ash

4/12/21 5:24pm

Yeah, it’s honestly pretty shocking

reddead

4/12/21 11:58pm

Not gonna watch, but does he include Trey lance in the competition matters rant?

LiveCoug

4/12/21 12:29pm

Yes

Yiowa

4/12/21 12:56pm

The most annoying thing about these arguments is the fact that 95% of the games

Samsonite

Last season? Zach had better athletes on his side nearly 100% of the time

LiveCoug

4/12/21 12:35pm

Last season was an anomaly for BYU scheduling.

Samsonite

4/12/21 12:37pm

Right. Zach built his whole hype based on last season.

LiveCoug

4/12/21 12:40pm

Yep, that's why I understand Stephen A's argument. Last year was Wilson's coming

palangi

4/12/21 12:44pm

At the skill positions? I beg to differ.

SinkingQuffa

4/12/21 12:54pm

Houston, UCF and Boise St all have better skill players than BYU

BigYfan

4/12/21 1:00pm

At least in terms of raw talent. I'd agree on all those as well.

SinkingQuffa

4/12/21 8:19pm

Disagree. BYU's skill guys last year were great. Regardless, BYU's OL was better

reddead

4/12/21 1:48pm

More disciplined & better conditioned often times — rather than more talented.

SinkingQuffa

4/12/21 8:17pm

BYU is about to have their best draft in a decade. Last year’s team had talent

reddead

4/12/21 11:59pm

and we all know the team with supposedly better athletes ALWAYS wins

I wonder what he really thinks. These types of shows are stupid. They can’t have

He's just like Cowherd - they have they're mind made up

braddahmike

4/12/21 12:36pm

It's more just taking a contrarian position for the sake of the discussion to drive ratings.

Turnpike Lane

"The competition that 'Luke Wilson' played against"? Good grief.

yahtzee

4/12/21 12:43pm

Nothing burger there imo. He likes Fields better because of the competition they

palangi

4/12/21 12:42pm

Called him Luke Wilson. That is as much as I need to know to dismiss anything

Ozymandias

4/12/21 12:49pm

I like Luke Wilson. Not as much as Owen, but still good.

JasonJDelmonico

4/12/21 4:25pm

I don't dispute anything that Stephen A is saying. He says he thinks Wilson is good, but isn't sold on him.

TheLoneCougar

4/12/21 12:49pm

How does he account for P5 qbs that are always surrounded by better talent than

Grit for Brains

4/12/21 12:52pm

How many tOSU QB's have succeeded in the NFL?

BigYfan

4/12/21 1:03pm

And Tua is hardly a sure thing to be even an average NFL qb.

Grit for Brains

4/12/21 3:22pm

Significantly more early round busts among p5 qbs by number and percentage

BYU '80

4/12/21 4:59pm

the only thing i am sold on about stephen a smith is that his ego is beyond huge.

zephyr

4/12/21 12:55pm

I agree with him. ZW should probably slip to No. 3 overall.

Ham

4/12/21 12:59pm

Guess we should discount Ben Roethlisberger, Josh Allen, Kurt Warner, Tony Romo,

mjmill

idacoug

4/12/21 2:26pm

I second that. Reeeeeally dislike that guy.

BleedCougarBlue2

4/12/21 1:00pm

He's not annoying if you never listen or give any credence to what he says

fan_byu

4/12/21 1:11pm

Yup still a blowhard who likes to hear himself. Stephen A Smith, the A stands

BYU Grounds

4/12/21 1:13pm

Actually I really hope the Jets listen to him. 🙂

ManicBlue

4/12/21 1:17pm

He bats about 1 for 15. Generally, he's garbage to listen to.

Benfica1

4/12/21 1:38pm

Crap I had to stop watching. Stephen A is a fraud. His whole tone and incessant

Ash

4/12/21 1:42pm

He calls him Luke Wilson at 2:35. He also admitted not watching him.

Str8CashCougar

4/12/21 1:52pm

His actual words and ideas could be the greatest ever and I still wouldn't be able to listen to anything he says.

SingleStrapBackpack

4/12/21 1:53pm

What drives me nuts is it makes it seem like our program plays those teams

ColonelMustard

4/12/21 2:38pm

Try separating his style from the argument he was making

run26

4/12/21 3:02pm

He is terrible at making arguments. It takes a very low IQ to get a simple idea

Ash

4/12/21 5:22pm

How does anyone even know what Stephan A Smith says? Does anyone actually watch ESPN talk shows?

ColoSpgs

4/12/21 3:23pm

I usually watch Jerry Springer and Young and the Restless, but sometimes I watch

Str8CashCougar

4/12/21 3:58pm

Could we please have someone act like they actually know

BYU '80

4/12/21 5:01pm

Man, that game by game schedule walk through was brutal.

Yergensen

4/12/21 5:47pm

I watched cuz, why not? He sounds drunk. I pray Zach falls to SF. Pray.

grosven

4/12/21 6:26pm

Competition is a huge factor though. Despite offsetting factors of the athletes

grosven

4/12/21 6:31pm

Yeah, Justin Fields who plays exactly like other Ohio St QBs who have killed it

Coug Eastwood

4/12/21 8:46pm

He's good. No need to degrade him for Wilson

Yiowa

4/12/21 9:40pm

I don't mean to degrade him. He absolutely IS good. I'm just saying that morons

Coug Eastwood

4/13/21 11:23am

Steve Young - Jim McMahon - BYU 'nuff said

refunder
