Stephen A. Smith has circled around the topic, but he no longer held back regarding his feud with fellow sports personality, Jason Whitlock, on his latest podcast “The Stephen A. Smith Show.”
It got to the point where Smith called Whitlock, who claimed the former had written lies in his “Straight Shooter: A Memoir of Second Chances and First Takes,” the “worst human being any of you have ever met.”
“Jason Whitlock, I said that name,” Smith said before his rant. “It's not a name I've ever said. I don't normally do that, but it needs to be done now. I've had enough of that fat bastard, that piece of s—. And I want to make sure that Before I go to break, I want there to be anyone who watches me, anyone who knows me. Anyone who is there, no matter what you think of me, I want you to remember that I never talk about him. I never talk about my colleagues. I don't do that. This is the first time. But it's necessary.”

Smith added that he called a group of people, including his pastor, top brass at ESPN and his family to let them know what he was going to say.
He then turned to Whitlock and mentioned an article written in Deadspin that prompted an apology.

“Did you tell them that once the same article appeared in Deadspin, weeks later you wrote me a long apology in an email?” Smith said. “Beg me to forgive you? Point out how you were betrayed by this particular writer, so you know how I must feel that you betrayed me. Did you tell people that, bitch? Did you tell them, 'You fat piece of m…' Did you tell them that?”

Smith went on to say that Whitlock was worse than a white supremacist. He also noted that there is a stipulation in his contract that he will not work with Whitlock.
As background, Whitlock has criticized Smith on many occasions, including once on his own show, “Fearless with Jason Whitlock,” on the Blaze Podcast Network.
He also claims that Smith was “installed” as a top sports personality.

“It's funny how little he knows about sports, but someone installed him as the number one voice in sports,” Whitlock said on his show. “That's what Katt Williams is talking about. Kevin Hart is a good comedian. Someone installed him as the face of comedy, gave him a deal and put things in place so that he would have all the success because they can control Kevin Hart. That en What happened to Stephen A. Smith? If you are going to read straight handleYou can see it everywhere.”
“If you read his memoirs and listen to the stories he tells about getting a 'basketball' scholarship to Winston-Salem State, it's incredibly absurd, stupid and made up.”
Smith said his article and it appears to be the last time he will mention it.
“Never call me about him again,” he said. “I'm a very forgiving person, not with him… I hate this bastard more than a little bit. He's the worst human being any of you have ever met. You get within a mile of his presence, wrap your arms around him. a around you to protect your soul. He is Cain. He is a demon. The worst. That's all I have to say.”
After Smith said this, Whitlock took to social media to respond.
“I knew Stephen A was limited. I didn't know he was that limited. I'm starting to feel sorry for him. I beat up a baby seal.

“SAS just made a fool of themselves,” he said in another tweet to New York Post writer Andrew Marchand. “We have never seen anyone at a major media company react so unprofessionally to a review of their work or simply act publicly so unprofessional. And this is your conclusion? Your expectations for SAS are so low that this is his conclusion: “I kneel before your ESPN sources.”
