SYLG's Favorite Racist Is At It Again

Regular readers of SYLG - all ten of you - know that I find no "celebrity" more despicable than sportswriter Stephen A. Smith. Personally, I think he is a racist hack who shouldn't have a blog, let alone a syndicated column. Of course, even the most idiotic ignoramus sometimes outdoes himself. Read on:

Stephen A. Smith Buys Sofa In The third Person

1/2/08 - ESPN's Stephen A. Smith picked up some furniture at Raymour & Flanigan (2100 Route 38) in Cherry Hill earlier today and referred to himself in the third person while shopping, says a nearby customer.

"Stephen would like the sofa that Stephen was just sitting in," our source quotes Smith, who's been off from the Inqwaster since his column was stripped in August. Smith, accompanied by "an attractive young female" was gracious to fans who approached, says our spy.

While Smith has retained a team of lawyers in a legal matter with the Inqwaster, which asked him to return to its roster of sports reporters in August, there's little clear about what exactly the legal dispute is about. (H/T - The Philadelphia Daily News)

While I glommed this from the gossip section of the Daily Snooze, I wholeheartedly believe this story. Smith is not only a racist hack, but also a conceited, arrogant, pompous ass. It would be just like him to refer to himself in the third person, and Wyatt doesn't like it. Wyatt doesn't like it at all.

Maybe Stephen should start hanging out with Jimmy?

"You know, Jimmy is pretty sweet on you. Jimmy's been watching you; you're just Jimmy's type. Jimmy's new in town. Jimmy doesn't really know anyone. Jimmy would like to get to know you."
