A night of firsts. Arash Markazi joins with the announcement six years in the making: this is the show's final week on terrestrial radio — because The Sporting Tribune Today is coming to television. From the pandemic-era Mightier 1090 relaunch to TV: the full origin story gets told, and John's only career advice — keep the same energy — hits different on a night like this. Then the sports world's own first: the Browns are waiving TE Daquan Wright, who has a deal in place to go BACK to college at LSU — the first NFL-to-college player ever. John's take: no rules broken, easy money, and the NBA should be terrified of the loophole. Plus Kalshi lands partnerships across MLB — Dodgers included — and John's warning about gambling, ownership groups and money that was never liquid: "this feels very Ponzi." Tim Parker closes the night defending Stephen A. Smith against the NABJ award nobody wants, and John explains exactly why the backlash landed. Full television details drop later this week. New episodes drop nightly. Follow the crew on X. Directed & Produced by: Grant Mona Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Stephen A. Smith vs. NABJ controversy is far from over — and now the conversation is getting even bigger.After the National Association of Black Journalists gave Stephen A. Smith its “Thumbs Down” recognition and criticized his commentary about prominent Black women, Stephen A. fired back strongly, calling the accusations against him a “flat out lie.” But instead of the controversy dying down, the debate has continued across the media.Tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show, we revisit the growing feud and examine the arguments being made on both sides. With Stephen A. discussing the controversy in appearances with Chris Cuomo and Sean Hannity, has this become something larger than a disagreement between one commentator and NABJ?We're asking the tough questions: Is NABJ justified in its criticism of Stephen A.? Is Stephen A. being unfairly characterized for criticizing prominent Black women? Is there a difference between tough political commentary and disrespect? And has this feud now become more about media, race, gender and politics than the original award itself?

On this episode of **Habari Live**, Damon and Iesha challenge one of the most persistent stereotypes in America: the myth of the “absent Black father.”We break down federal CDC/NCHS research on father involvement and examine what the data actually found about Black fathers—from feeding, bathing, and dressing young children to helping with homework, sharing meals, and staying involved even when living outside the child's home. We also discuss how marriage statistics, household structure, media portrayals, economic inequality and mass incarceration have helped shape the public perception of Black fatherhood.Then we turn to **Stephen A. Smith vs. the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ)**. After NABJ gave Smith its 2026 “Thumbs Down” award over what it described as a pattern of disparaging commentary toward prominent Black women, Stephen A. fired back, calling the decision a “personal hit job.” We examine the controversy involving Jasmine Crockett, Joy Reid, Serena Williams and others—and ask where legitimate criticism ends and harmful stereotyping begins.**THE BLACK FATHER MYTH EXPOSED: The Data Tells a Different Story + Stephen A. Smith vs. NABJ**Join Damon and Iesha for the conversation and tell us what you think in the comments.**Habari Live — News Our Way.**#BlackFathers #StephenASmith #NABJ #BlackMedia #JasmineCrockett #BlackMen #BlackWomen #HabariLive #HabariNews

The sports and media world erupted when the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) handed ESPN star Stephen A. Smith its annual "Thumbs Down" award during its convention in Atlanta. Citing what the organization termed a "recurring public pattern of disparaging commentary directed at prominent Black women" across politics, sports, and media, the award ignited a massive public debate over accountability, journalism, and free speech. In this episode, we break down the explosive clash between one of media's most powerful voices and the nation's premier organization for Black journalists. We examine the specific comments that led to the NABJ's decision—including Smith's public spats with figures like Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and other high-profile public figures—and analyze Smith's fiery, unfiltered response. From his viral social media pushback to his appearance on Fox News to call the award a "flat-out lie" and a "hit job," Smith made it clear he would not take the criticism quietly. Whether you are a media insider tracking the boundaries of sports and political commentary, a regular listener of First Take, or someone interested in the evolving standards of public accountability, this episode provides a balanced look at both sides of the controversy. We explore:The NABJ's Stance: Why organization leadership felt compelled to issue the award and how they define responsible media portrayals. Stephen A. Smith's Defense: Breaking down his argument that his commentary constitutes policy disagreements rather than personal attacks. The Broader Media Reaction: How peers, commentators, and public figures are reacting to the feud and what it means for high-profile pundits.The Culture of Accountability: Exploring the tension between massive media platforms and institutional critique.We cut through the noise to deliver a thorough, objective breakdown of a story defining the current media landscape.Stay informed on the biggest media debates.

This is what I get for taking a month off because SO much has happened, and it's been nothing but twists and turns. We're talking Suffolk University letting students co-major in AI, ASU launching a degree for aspiring influencers while the U.S. loses 23,000 jobs, YouTube making it harder to get paid, and the latest mess surrounding Jools Lebron. We also have to talk about what's happening to Haitians as TPS ends, the questions surrounding Nolan Wells' death, Trump administration drama, NABJ handing out its Thumbs Down awards, Invest Fest backlash, Luigi Mangione, Flock cameras and the conversation around progressives and Black voters. Then somehow the billionaires went shopping for the Lakers and EA, FIFA switched things up, and pop culture gave us even MORE to discuss. Grab your drink because clearly, we have completely lost the plot. IG: Itswista IG/YouTube/Substack: wordswithwista

Black on Black Cinema breaks down the National Association of Black Journalists giving Stephen A. Smith its "Thumbs Down" award, reserved for commentary the organization considers especially insensitive, stereotypical, or at odds with NABJ's mission around fair representation of the Black community. NABJ's statement specifically cited Smith's recurring pattern of disparaging commentary toward prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media, saying it reinforces harmful narratives and undermines fair, respectful representation.We agree with NABJ here, and we break down exactly why. Smith has spent years building a media empire on saying whatever gets a reaction, and his commentary toward Black women specifically has followed a consistent, well documented pattern that deserves scrutiny; not just from critics online, but from an organization built to hold Black media figures accountable to Black communities. Smith's response was predictably combative, essentially promising retaliation on his platform. He even ran to Fox News' Sean Hannity to make his thoughts known. A curious platform if he is trying to reach Black people...hmmm. We discuss why that reaction proves NABJ's point more than it disproves it, what accountability from within the profession actually looks like, and why Smith's expanding political platform makes this moment even more significant.We also announce the next film to be reviewed which is the 1989 film "Chameleon Street" which follows a social chameleon who impersonates reporters, doctors and lawyers in order to make money. (Film is available to watch on Tubi for free).Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

Yes, she needs to improve her finishing, but reducing a player's entire impact to one weakness ignores rebounding, passing, defense, physicality and everything else that affects winning.Then the conversation turns to Stephen A.

If protecting Black women is the standard, should that standard extend beyond political commentary and include how women are treated throughout sports, entertainment, business and media?From there, Sauce discusses Jay-Z and Charlamagne Tha God, protecting hip-hop's cultural icons, and why successful Black figures often become targets as their influence grows.Then we switch gears.Men: it's time to level up.Grooming.

Stephen A. Smith took a beating from the National Association of Black Journalists — a "thumbs down" that landed less like disapproval and more like a middle finger. Jason Whitlock breaks down why Smith won't apologize for calling a black man a devil on tape, yet he ran straight to Sean Hannity's couch the moment black women in his own industry turned on him. This is the ledger on loyalty, leverage, and who Stephen A. actually answers to. "Fearless" family, you don't want to miss this one. ➢​​Today's Sponsors Try High Flavanol Cocoa (Stem Cells & Nitric Oxide): (JULY 4TH BUY ONE GET ONE FREE + FREE NMN BIGGEST PROMO OF THE YEAR  FOR 48HRS ONLY!): https://blackforestsupplements.com/WHITLOCK  ➢ Show Outline 00:00 - Stephen A.

8.17.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Black Candidate Hit With Fake HIV Smear. Trump Takes Credit For Crime Drop. NABJ Dings Stephen A. A Black Democratic congressional candidate is the targeted in a smear campaign that falsely alerted people by text message that he can't give blood because he is HIV positive.Shevrin Jones, Florida's first out LGBTQ+ Black senator, is here to set the record straight. A former professional basketball player is running to become South Carolina's first Black governor. Dr. Jermaine Johnson will explain why he's the best man for the job. The Trump administration is bragging and taking the credit for violent crime going down, but those crimes have been declining since 2022 - when he wasn't in office. We'll talk to the Senior Director for Public Safety from the Center for American Progress about the numbers. Attorney General Todd Blanche is considering seeking the Supreme Court's intervention to compel states to hand over voter rolls. California prosecutors told jurors Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing was 'an act of revenge' during today's opening statements. The defense says time, corruption, and a lack of facts will be challenges in the case. Saturday, the National Association of Black Journalists gave out its Thumb Down Award, including one to Stephen A. Smith. It's time for a little history lesson. I'll talk to the former president and founder of NABJ about why he began the acknowledgment.

After the NABJ awarded Stephen A. Smith with the "thumbs down award,' it didn't take long before he responded. After addressing the issue on his own podcast, he took to MAGA media to explain himself further. Why FOX News? Why News Nation? Why is Officer Tater defending him too? Join Don to break this down.

Stephen A. Smith was obviously hurt by the NABJ giving him the "thumbs down" award. He spoke about it on his own show and told his side of the story. But why did he then go and choose to appear on MAGA media like Sean Hannity's show on FOX? DL Hughley thinks that this is just another example of the problem with Stephen A. Smith to begin with.

We kick things off with the Lakers being sold again, including the latest on Jeanie Buss and whether she's actually giving up her piece of the franchise. Then we discuss Russell Westbrook's retirement, his legacy, and the bigger question of whether NBA legends like Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, and Allen Iverson were pushed out of the league before they were ready. Plus, Skip Bayless has some thoughts on Westbrook's Hall of Fame case. The NBA Christmas Day schedule is officially loaded, so we pick the matchup we're most excited for. Then we jump into the NFL preseason, discussing what we're watching for from our favorite teams, Jaxson Dart's early visit to the blue tent, and the ongoing Deshaun Watson vs. Shedeur Sanders conversation. In Rule Breakers, we get into Stephen A. Smith receiving the thumbs-down award from the NABJ, Jayden Daniels sending a cease-and-desist letter to LSU Nick Sirianni reportedly using ChatGPT to help connect with his players, and Claressa Shields continuing to dominate with another TKO victory. And, of course, Beav and Felix discuss how terrrible (or not) the movie 'Obsession' was. Enjoy!

In this episode of Powell to the People Rebel Base One, Tony Powell is joined by Keith, Mark, and Derek Powell for a wide-ranging conversation that seamlessly blends hilarious family banter with urgent socio-political commentary. The crew kicks things off with a hilarious debate over strict travel routines, punctuality, and road trip snack etiquette. The conversation then shifts to hard-hitting cultural critiques, breaking down the NABJ's failing grade for Stephen A. Smith, calling out political evasions by leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, and exposing the disconnect between politicians and the working class. In a sobering and vital segment, the hosts raise awareness about the suspicious, under-investigated deaths of young Black individuals across the country. Finally, they review the new Michael Jackson biopic, debating whether it's a genuine tribute or a sanitized cash-grab that conveniently ignores the controversies.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicked off the week with a mix of breaking news, celebrity headlines, and cultural conversation. The team discussed the devastating flooding in Indiana, where more than 11 inches of rain triggered historic flooding, forced hundreds of rescues and evacuations, and left at least seven people dead as recovery efforts continue across the state. The conversation then shifted to Keke Palmer, whose latest comments encouraged women to focus less on a man’s bank account and more on his character, work ethic, and emotional maturity. Palmer specifically praised blue-collar professionals like mechanics and firefighters, reigniting a broader social media debate about modern dating standards and what truly makes a partner “high value.” The entertainment buzz continued with growing reactions to Stephen A. Smith receiving the National Association of Black Journalists’ 2026 “Thumbs Down” Award. NABJ cited what it described as a recurring pattern of disparaging commentary about prominent Black women in politics, sports, and media, a move that has sparked strong reactions across journalism and social media circles. Meanwhile, Usher shared an emotional milestone as his oldest son, Cinco, officially enrolled at Howard University. The proud father celebrated the achievement with a heartfelt message, joining a growing trend of celebrity children choosing HBCUs for their college experience. The show also highlighted Clarissa Shields reclaiming championship gold in the boxing ring, celebrity boxing antics featuring Ray J, and the latest entertainment news from Atlanta and beyond.
