Stephen A. Flips Off Skip?
I'm not a huge fan of Stephen A. Smith or Skip Bayless, but if I'm forced to choose between them, I'll pick Smith every day of the week and twice on Sundays. It really is a battle of the mildly annoying versus the tremendously repugnant.
A few people are up in arms after claiming that Smith flipped Skip the bird while they were debatings — by which I mean shouting at each other — on this morning's edition of ESPN First Take. Smith has vehemently denied this, claiming that his fingers just made an odd formation while he was wildly gesticulating. Here's what he said via Twitter:
"Will y'all stop? I would never flip anyone the bird — including @RealSkipBayless. Was just talking w/ my hands like that. Folks start nonsense for a reason."
I have to say, I'm kind of disappointed. If Smith had the balls to give Bayless the single-finger salute on national television, he would instantly become my favourite sports media personality. Someone has to do it.
