Post-Game Taunting

[samikeyp]

Listening to Vex and Waltra this morning...they were talking about during ESPN's post-game coverage...there were Spurs fans chanting "Stephen A! You Suck!" I didn't see the coverage so I don't know what happened. If anyone deserves crap its Stephen A :) but if that did happen...IMO its uncool because it makes Spurs fans look bad. Did anyone see or hear this?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

You could hear the Spurs fans chanting something in the background during Sportscenter when they went live to SAS and company.

Probably not the best move by the fans, but my guess is that most of America agrees with them.

That idiot deserves everything he gets. He's all show no go. Dude has no business being a sports journalist. I hope it helps him get fired, another shit analyst bites the dust.

[Shelly]

I know Manny has a fondness for Greg Anthony. He even told him personally! :lol

[samikeyp]

Why insult the camel? :)

He rode in on.

[picnroll]

I think that was Rasho and Big Dog chanting.

[smackdaddy11]

They weren't loud enough. That loudmouth, no talent hack deserves everything he gets. He bagged all over DRob when he was playing. He builds up Shaq as if he is some kind of god so he can be invited to the blowouts at his house. He has as much insight as the camel above.

The real funny part is this A.M on the NBA show, they showed the clip from last night, except, they taped a new segment after the fans chanting had left. You heard no chanting and the lights at the SBC were practically dark. :lol

Sunday night, get a bigger group.

Agreed!!!!!!!!!! :rollin

[samikeyp]

I think its ironic that when Robinson was playing...he went out of his way to degrade him but now, he says he was the reason Tim played so well in previous finals.

The guy is a tool. The only way he's got a job with esspin is that he talks LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME. HE TALKS REAL LOUD BUT after you listen to what he says you realize he doesn't back up what he talks about or even knows what he's talking about.

He got put on my shit list when he stated that the only reason that barry bonds was getting flack about steroids was because he was black and that mark mcguire got a free pass from the media because he is white.

Let's see, reasons barry gets crap for taking steroids:
1. His good friend and trainer was involved with other athletes who took steroids
2. his mistress says he admitted to taking steroids
3. he allegedly admitted to taking steroids in court, so did giambi who later apoligized
4. he blew up from a skinny guy to a muscle bound freak in a very short period of time

And as a st. louis cardinal fan I know first hand that mcguire got all kinds of crap from the national and local media about steroids for a long time. (I believe both took steroids).

So for that sas is a dumbass who deserves everything he gets from the spurs fans. Why? Because he's an untalented hack who somehow gets a paycheck from essspin. :flipoff :flipoff :flipoff :flipoff :flipoff sas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boutons]

I heard Bilious Walton say "Can Duncan win a Title without Robinson" and the little guy in the middle of the desk sorta sying "no" and then rushed on with some other point.

I love that, sports analysts must not do their homework. Robinson in his last playoffs was about as effective as nazr is now.

And to say he can't do it now with the second best player he's ever played with is incredible. '99 robinson is better then '05 manu.

[bigzak25]

screw SAS. you get what you give. he's hated on SA for too long to get any leeway from our fans....

[FromWayDowntown]

I stood there and heard the chant before ESPN went on the air. I can assure you, the words "Stephen" and "suck" were part of the chanting. SAS just sat there like he couldn't hear anything.

Of course, what else should we expect; he's basically ignored San Antonio (other than to bag on it for everything) in his haste to pucker up to Shaquille's rear end. In the last 3 years, he's directly bagged on David, Tim, Rasho, and Big Dog. He's slow to the game on acknowledging Manu, too (saying only that Manu "has skills").

I don't condone saying that other people "suck," as a general rule, but Stephen A. gets in the ballpark.

[nkdlunch]

screw SAS. you get what you give. he's hated on SA for too long to get any leeway from our fans....

Who actually likes this guy? When he opens his trap even the other analysts just look at him like he's a homeless who just walked in.

[td4mvp21]

Did you hear him this morning? (Paraphrased Quotes)
"Ginobili has skills, BUT Detroit didn't make it hard for him at all." Every layup was contested, that three at the end was in someones face. What an idiot.

[cmc$purs]

Sas = Ass :blah :blah :blah :blah HE IS AN IDIOT :blah :blah :blah
BILL WALTON :smokin :blah :blah DOUBLESPEAK LIKE A MUTHAFO :blah :

[T Park]

Fuck being classy and fucking showing anything when it comes to that shit bag.


That fuck face deserves every chant that asshole gets.


GOOD JOB SPURS FANS!!! I wouldve been in on it TOO!!!

[mavsfan1000]

Love those classy spurs fans. :rolleyes

[SpursChampsIII]

I heard Bilious Walton say "Can Duncan win a Title without Robinson" and the little guy in the middle of the desk sorta sying "no" and then rushed on with some other point.

Four of us yelled at Walton and Greg Anthony when we walked in the front door...told them to not even think about jumping on the championship train after we win this...told them to get the hell outa here.

[bigzak25]

Love those classy spurs fans. :rolleyes




who said we're classy? fuck you too. :lol

[samikeyp]

Love those classy spurs fans.

This from a guy who roots for a team who's owner "hates San Antonio" :flipoff

[SpursWoman]

who said we're classy? fuck you too. :lol


No shit! :lmao

[MannyIsGod]

I know Manny has a fondness for Greg Anthony. He even told him personally! :lol
I HATE Anthony, and he now knows it. However, it's a damn shame SAS wasn't there at halftime because I would have LOVED to see Lori go off on his ass. That would have made my night complete. We now know where they are though, so next time it's ON.

[samikeyp]

I got 5 bucks on Manny.

[KewlKat00]

i was wondering if i really heard fans chanting that stephen a. sucks. now i know that it wasnt just wishful thinking.

but did anyone else hear them chanting "we want charles." i could have sworn i heard that too.

[samikeyp]

but did anyone else hear them chanting "we want charles." i could have sworn i heard that too.

THAT would have been great! :lol

[Shelly]

BTW, Bill Walton was wearing a PINK shirt!

He's so trendy!

[gay abc]

BTW, Bill Walton was wearing a PINK shirt!

He's so trendy!


well isn't he gay? :lol

[mavsfan1000]

I don't get all this hating on Stephen A. Smith. The more I think about it how bad is it to be a analyst when you have to not bore people and at the same time not offend people.

[Shelly]

well isn't he gay? :lol

:lol

That's an insult to gay people!

[CavsSuperFan]

Didn’t Walton also say something like... (In my own words)

The Spurs were the better team but a lot depended on how they reacted WHEN the Pistons started hacking.... :lol

[samikeyp]

I don't get all this hating on Stephen A. Smith. The more I think about it how bad is it to be a analyst when you have to not bore people and at the same time not offend people.

An Analyst is supposed to be objective. The next time he is, will be the first time.

But Stephen A. Smith does constantly remind me that the first part of "analyst" is "anal".

[CavsSuperFan]

Dr. Jack Ramsay" was on the radio & said...

"Rick . . . uh, Brent Barry is called for the reach-around foul." :lol

Robert Horry hits a three-pointer early in the second quarter: "That's why he's called Big Shot Bob." (Its Rob, Get it Right!) :smokin

"Tony Parker is 2 for 8, Ginobili is 1 for 3 - they need to get the ball to Duncan."

The guy doing play-by-play says "And who is currently on the bench."

BWAAAHAHAHA! :lol

[mavsfan1000]

Every analyst has their share of haters. Barkley is hated by Mavericks and Kings fans and etc. Kenny Smith is probably the most objective analyst there is.

[Summers]

Plus, sometimes he just makes shit up. "My sources tell me..." means "I just pulled this outta my ass..."

[Rummpd]

Funniest Picture Of All Time = Major Props

[CaptainLate]

And as a st. louis cardinal fan I know first hand that mcguire got all kinds of crap from the national and local media about steroids for a long time. (I believe both took steroids).

Me too -- since the Gibson-Brock days of '67-'68. I thought McGuire took Andro, which was not a banned substance at the time.

[Willinsa]

Stephen Ahole is a freaking loser, I hope I don't run into that jackass anywhere.

[samikeyp]

Kenny Smith is probably the most objective analyst there is.

Mr. "eat soup with a fork"? I would disagree.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

So that's what they were saying! I was watching it last night and I thought I heard them yelling "Pistons suck" but I wasn't sure and that really didn't strike me as the kind of thing that the Spurs fans would hang around after the game to chant. I for one think it's great. Fans heckle players all the time just for trying to do their job, why shouldn't they heckle someone who draws what I'm sure is a pretty good paycheck for bashing a team that just WON THE FUCKING GAME.

Walton's idiocy + Don King's pomposity = SAS

[SpursWoman]

"Rick . . . uh, Brent Barry is called for the reach-around foul."


:wow :lmao

[mavsfan1000]

He stayed away from rooting for the rockets during the Mavs series. I was impressed with that. He does say stupid things that don't make sense or stupid analogies that don't compare well.

[CavsSuperFan]

Is Dr. Jack Ramsay a 100 yet...I don't think he knows what he is saying...

[Faccia di Angelo]

I was there when that was happening too. We were walking out and I could hear a bunch of fans yelling something and at first I thought it was the coyote crew doing their little cheers until I got closer and realized they were yelling "Stephen A. Sucks!" And I'm talking loud right at him and he's sitting there trying to act like he couldn't hear a single thing. I remember looking up and seeing Tim Legler shaking his head like he was dissapointed in the fans. He looked mad. That was a bit embarrassing as a spurs fan cause I know we are better than that. Even the camera men were staring at them like, come on guys. They didn't know what to do. I was laughing my ass off though when the crowd starting chanting "TNT! TNT!" That was hilarious.

[spurschick]

The Spurs have no street-cred. I haven't met one Spurs fan outside of the city of San Antonio. or any city with an urban population.

Gee, that's too bad, 'cause it's really important to have street-cred when you're hoisting the LOB trophy above your head.

[T Park]

another troll.

But now its a lottery hugging troll hilarious.

Once again, why is it bad??

Why should Stephen A Smith get away with the bullshit that he spews without us saying something.

Get off the goddamn "I thought our fans were better than that"

Hey producers, dont like it??? The tell STephen Asshole to STFU.

[SequSpur]

SAS fucking deserves it. WGAF.

[goliath]

Throughout the years, whenever SAS has been called out (by email, espn chat, ect) for hating David, Rasho, the Spurs, he responds that he is entitled to his opinion and entitled to express his opinion. Well, Spurs fans are entitled to their opinion of you SAS and last night they expressed it.

Precisely

[duncan_21]

If sas was objective then I could stomach his yelling and so called tough guy attitude. If he can't take it then stop yelling become more objective and less ET.

Man do I wish TNT was doing the broadcasts. I would love to listen to kenny, charles, and ernie on the pre, post, and halftime show and listen to kerr, collins, and albert doing the game.

Better then what abc/espn/disney will give us.

[mavsfan1000]

I really hate that stupid Matchbox song on ABC also. Phil Collins or whatever sucks.

[duncan_21]

I hate that rob thomas song for what it's worth he went solo on matchbox 20. I have to disagree with the phil collins song. Although I don't like phil that song they played is one of my all time fav songs. I liked the stand up song from dave matthews they played.

Of course I'm a dave matthews homer and am listening to their new cd right now.

[RashoFan]

GOOD TASTE IN MUSIC!!!!

[wildbill2u]

Hasn't Walton said the Spurs were the best team in the league--but he picked the Pistons to win the finals on Thursday.

[boutons]

SAS has dished out plenty of gratuitous cheap shots at Rasho, Glenn, etc with no chance for rebuttal.

May the Spurs fans trash SAS/ESPN SBC broadcasts at every possible opportunity.

It's not a matter of "class", which of course isn't a concept SAS is remotely familiar with. It's a matter of fighting fire with fire.

If SAS/ESPN can't take the heat, then get the fuck out of the kitchen.

[angel_luv]

I think that was Rasho and Big Dog chanting.


Says Steven A Smith: " I'll get you my pretty ( Rasho) and your Big Doggie too! Hehehehehe!"

[LilMissSPURfect]

2nite was awesome

[Raptorfan]

Just a theory but it's been formulating in my head for about 3 years now. SAS has a prob with the Spurs because it isn't dominated by black Americans. Even TD isn't just what he likes although he is acceptable. Imagine what he'd be saying about Ginobli if he were black, was born in a major US city and talked like SAS. SAS'd be all over his jock. I've noticed that in others too but too bad for them if they can't get used to it. That is the very reason I love SAS. The more foreign players the better the international game becomes and the more popular bball becomes worldwide. I hope the Spurs sweep the Pistons and a bunch more international players are taken in the first round (and US players get to take their place overseas so they don't lose their jobs).

I've always thought that Stephen A.'s dislike of the Spurs wasn't really the team, it was moreso the town.

I doubt that he is a racist. ESPN, being owned by Disney, wouldn't allow anyone with known attitudes like that on their payroll.

[rwb]

At the risk of being attacked, I personally didn't appreciate the shouting in the background. SAS makes me want to vomit, too, but there are better ways to express onesself than to be inappropriate in front of a national audience and lowering down to his level. Next thing you know, there'll be shouts of "bullshit" every time there's a foul and ragging on injured opposing players. Let's not go there, okay? Spurs fans should reflect Spurs class. Just my opinion.

[Useruser666]

I think SAS has a problem with the SAS (San Antonio Spurs) because they have the same acronym. :lol

[IX_Equilibrium]

Gee, that's too bad, 'cause it's really important to have street-cred when you're hoisting the LOB trophy above your head.


hahaha

[sa_butta]

I couldnt give two shits what any of those idiots says about our team or how much they go against us. As long as we keep winning games and making title runs its all good in SAS.

[IX_Equilibrium]

And I'm talking loud right at him and he's sitting there trying to act like he couldn't hear a single thing.


What were you saying?

[TOP-CHERRY]

It's a great thing to see our fans stick up for their guys (the Spurs) for being trashed so much from this moron. Ofcourse the Spurs players can't say anything, so what better way to make Smith be exposed as the hated idiot he is by us fans doing something about it?

I say, great job, people!!!!
