Stephen A. Smith’s Egotistical Doc 'Up for Debate' Exposes the Devolution of Sports Media | Ep 700

Stephen A. Smith fancies himself as rap legend Chuck D of Public Enemy: a disruptor and innovator. In reality, he’s Flavor Flav, an outlandish hype man with nothing meaningful to say. “Up For Debate,” the ESPN documentary that Smith produced, is a self-serving resume tape whose only objective is to paint Smith as the MLK of sports media and position him to cash in on his next contract. Jason walks us through the docuseries and its stated tagline, “The Evolution of Sports Media,” which reveals just the opposite, paralleling the degradation of discourse across all media and American society. Steve Kim joins “Fearless” to add his take on the doc. In Tennessee Harmony, Jason is joined by Anthony Walker and Kevin Donahue to debate the pope’s latest controversial statement that humankind is inherently good. Is that biblical?
