Sports with Rod 9-17-2026 …Stephen A Smith Loses His S*** …Sam Darnold is Butt Hurt …Thinking Inward with Kaleem
Is capitalism failing America—or have Americans forgotten what they created?Andrew examines the rise of socialism, the modern left's rejection of capitalism, and the growing divide between those who build within the system and those who seek to dismantle it. Featuring clips and commentary involving Alex Karp, Dinesh D'Souza, Bill Maher, Stephen A. Smith, Kap Chatfield, and Lex Fridman, the episode tackles Western values, identity politics, government dependency, political violence, slavery, media narratives, and America's mounting national debt.But the argument ultimately reaches beyond left versus right: Are Republicans and Democrats merely two wings of the same broken system? Andrew makes the case for abandoning political tribalism, becoming politically homeless, and putting “We the People” ahead of party loyalty.The song selection is the song "Walk Away" by the band Killing Bees.Visit allegedlyrecords.com and check out all of the amazing punk rock artists!Visit soundcloud.com/andrewforamerica1984 to check out Andrew's music!Like and Follow The Politics & Punk Rock Podcast PLAYLIST on Spotify!!!Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Y4rumioeqvHfaUgRnRxsy...politicsandpunkrockpodcast.comFollow Future Is Now Coalition on Instagram @FutureIsOrgwww.futureis.org

Welcome back to the Corner Convo! Amon and A.B. are back for episode 312 to break down everything moving the culture this week. From the Chicago Bears dropping nearly 60 points to the heated debate over whether an MVP trophy means more than a Championship ring, we are diving deep into the topics that have the internet talking.We kick things off with the explosive performance by the Chicago Bears and whether Caleb Williams is officially ready to lead The Chicago Bears into a new era of high-powered offense. Then, we shift to the hardwood to discuss Team USA Women's Gold Medal win and the exhausting media narrative surrounding Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. Next, we tackle the toxic ring culture conversation. T-Mac and KD recently sparked a firestorm by suggesting an MVP award holds more weight than a NBA championship for a player's legacy. The guys break down why personal accolades might actually be more memorable than being the twelfth man on a title team. We also weigh in on the clash between Stephen A. Smith and Jalen Rose regarding who truly paved the way for athletes to transition into sports media.Finally, we discuss Lil Durk beating his legal case and what his return means for the city of Chicago. To lighten things up, we debate which blue-eyed soul legends like Bobby Caldwell, Hall and Oates, and Teena Marie officially get a pass at the cookout. We wrap it all up with a Best of the City draft, picking the ultimate football and basketball icons from Houston, Dallas, NYC, and beyond.Chapters0:00 Intro and Welcome to Episode 3122:30 The Chicago Bears Score 59 Points6:45 Caleb Williams and the Future of the Franchise10:12 Team USA Women Win Gold in France14:50 Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reese Media Narratives16:30 Toxic Ring Culture: MVP vs Championship T-Mac Comments31:10 Stephen A.

Earnest from the Earnestly Speaking Network returns and we talk college football, and the recent meetup between Stephen A. Smith, Jemele Hill, and Cari Champion
Eleven jurors voted to let Lindsay Clancy walk. One black man said no — and investigators showed up at his house. Paula Devlin put him on national television. The newsroom printed his dismissed charge, his restraining order, and his eviction. Stephen A. Smith sat three hours with Cari Champion and Jemele Hill and got his words handed back cut. Same play, bigger stage. Male authority is not respected in America anymore. A hero is a man with nothing left to protect himself with, but who still says no. ➢ Show Outline 0:00 - Sealed Jury List and the Exposed Holdout Juror 1:00 - Paula Devlin Identifies the Holdout Juror on TV 3:25 - The Juror and Stephen A.

Smith. Then they digest MS NOW's new $7.99-a-month subscription play, arguing why winning over cable-free fans of Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell could succeed where CNN+ once failed.

COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - SEASON 5 EPISODE 3 A-Block (SPECIAL COMMENT) Am I the only one who noticed this? Is the news media so compliant, so dead, not to recognize Trump newly bending the knee not to America but to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin? The story was so easily told just by the sequence and yet it gave our newsmen and our supposed liberal commentators the proverbial haircut. I'll walk you through it. THERE IS REASON TO HOPE we will be able to rein the monster in. Newest polling from Michigan: el-Sayed is up by three, Trump's tariffs are underwater 60-40 with non-college voters and he's only got 41% support among them. The Democrat could grow several points as the Trump haters come round to him. AND WHAT IS ANTISEMITISM? Criticizing Israel? No. Criticizing Trump? Certainly not. How about coming out and saying that Jewish people are only Jewish if they look Jewish to you? And if they don't and still claim to be Jewish, you want to see a map of their DNA. Because no past dictator ever tried that formula did they, Elon Musk? B-Block 40:00 (SPECIAL COMMENT: 9/11) I won't inundate you about 9/11 but one of Zohran Mamdani's critics thinks Osama bin Laden is still alive, and another one is Rudy Giuliani, of all the former mayors of New York the one whose worldview comes closest to al-Qaeda's. Anybody remember when after 9/11 Rudy tried to seize power as an unelected quasi-dictator of New York? Plus some of my reporting from that time 25 years ago. C-Block 1:10:00 (SPORTSBALL CENTER TONIGHT) Can collective amnesia in baseball be cured by Performance Enhancing Drugs? A theoretical question for you fans of the diamond doings. Plus my unusual appearance in the new biography of Renee Richards, and an unexpected comp from Peter Gammons: me and...Hunter S. Thompson?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Big Promise from the Convention and Trump Just put His Name on the Midterm Ballot, Stephen A. Smith has a Real Talk on Taxes.
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's growing scandal surrounding his attendance at the 25th-anniversary 9/11 memorial at the site of the World Trade Center as 9/11 victims demand that he not attend and Mamdani refuses to answer a question about Rudy Giuliani's role in helping the city recover from the September 11 attacks; Elon Musk's perfect reaction to a viral video of Marco Rubio's fiery speech condemning socialism, Marxism, and communism and why it's simply been rebranded by people like Zohran Mamdani as social justice or equity; CNN's Harry Enten sharing new polling data that should scare the Democratic and Republican establishment about how the upcoming midterm elections will determine who controls the Senate; Stephen A. Smith telling the "PBD Podcast's" Patrick Bet-David how California tracks the phone calls of wealthy people to tax the rich for every day they spend working in the state and what he told Gavin Newsom about his likelihood of supporting him in a 2028 election; Elon Musk shocking The Economist's Zanny Minton Beddoes by explaining the reality of how much tax he will end up paying before his death; female members of the Lindsay Clancy jury giving NBC News an exclusive about the lone male jury member who refused to give Lindsay Clancy a not guilty vote, resulting in a mistrial; and much more.

PLUS - WATP's Karl shows Dave & Chuck The Freak Uncut BORING EVERYONE (including themselves) and an intro into Jerry Banfield. Make sure you subscribe to Kull's YouTube channel for some old school clips. 9/11 is dominating our minds this week. It could have been James Woods. There is controversy surrounding Zohran Mamdani and the 9/11 memorial. The Lindsay Clancy Effect: Corie Walsh. Kailey Erhart. Sarah Myers. Madeline Daly. David Mãrumbâõ isn't putting up with his girl's support of Clancy. A massive sinkhole is consuming Nicolas Cage's mansion.

Smith is beefing with Jemele Hill and Cari Champion after their three-hour interview on the Flagrant and Funny podcast was edited. Marcellus Wiley isn't having it. Joy Reid has been mad at him for quite some time. Devin Gardner was not impressed with Michigan's victory over Western Michigan or their QB Bryce Underwood. Some people are saying storming the field after beating the Broncos was pretty sad. Western Michigan took the high road but now the Mid-American Conference is popping off.

Just when it looked like Stephen A. Smith, Cari Champion, and Jemele Hill might finally be clearing the air…the drama isn't over.Following Stephen A.'s lengthy conversation with his former ESPN colleagues, he's speaking out about how the interview was handled — including concerns about edits, the YouTube comments being turned off, and his desire to have the full conversation released.So what happened?
Stephen A. Smith sat with Cari Champion and Jemele Hill and walked into a tribunal, not an interview. Two black women on the bench. One black man in the dock — richer, louder, more accomplished, still defending himself. Jason Whitlock breaks down the unbiblical power dynamic the "Flagrant" sit-down put on display: corporate media elevating black women as moral judges over black men who outperform them, the “never lie” theater that can't name Whitlock, and why a career of pandering never retires the debt.

In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant weighs in on the growing controversy surrounding Stephen A. Smith. For years, Stephen A. has used his enormous platform to elevate Black journalists, commentators, and voices in sports, but now that he's stepping into politics and refusing to simply follow the Democratic Party line, some of those same voices are turning against him. Alex discusses Smith's clash with the National Association of Black Journalists, the criticism coming from some Black commentators, including Black women, and what happens when a prominent Black voice refuses to stay inside the political box others have created for him. Is there room in the Black community for political disagreement, or does stepping outside the expected narrative make you a target? Alex gives his perspective on what the Stephen A. Smith controversy says about politics, race, and independent thinking in America. #TWWSI #StephenASmith #NABJ #BlackVoices #BlackCommunity #IndependentThinking #PoliticsAndCulture #FaithAndCulture #PastorAlexBryant #TheWayWeSeeIt Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

This week on A Pod Named Kickback, we go from some seriously disturbing dating deception to one of our most personal conversations yet. We kick things off with the wild story of a man who allegedly pretended to be a San Francisco 49er to con women—and ask the obvious question: HOW THE HELL DOES SOMEBODY GET AWAY WITH THAT?!Then we get real for Suicide Awareness Month. Nile Nu'Man opens up about his own suicide attempt and the role 2Pac's music played in talking him through one of the darkest moments of his life. Jacq shares her own suicide-attempt story, and the crew talks honestly about recognizing the signs, finding someone to talk to, and the steps toward healing. It's vulnerable, uncomfortable, powerful—and a reminder that sometimes simply having somebody there can make the difference.Then we get back to the madness: Keefe D is found guilty in the 2Pac murder case, Gary, Indiana finds itself dealing with another extended power outage, Tyler Perry gets the Nipsey Hussle Award, Plus, our Eargasm/Netflix & Chill segment takes on Varnell Hill, Silo, Stephen A. Smith vs. Jemele Hill & Cari Champion, and the music worlds of The Game, Prince, Fat Joe and Erykah Badu. Real talk, wild stories, pop culture and absolutely no brakes. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Stephen A. Smith is best known for sports commentary. But now, he's weighing in on the direction of both political parties — and even considering a potential 2028 presidential run. In a wide-ranging conversation with Dasha, the outspoken analyst explains why he believes he could win the presidency but won't give up his career to campaign. He also discusses what he thinks is wrong with today's political class, his criticism of the direction of the Democratic Party, Donald Trump's appeal to voters, his interviews with controversial figures and the 2028 contenders he's watching — including a MAGA Republican he could consider voting for.

The much-discussed sit-down between Stephen A. Smith, Jemele Hill, and Cari Champion has happened. The trio finally addressed years of public tension, ESPN drama, and political disagreements in a candid three-hour conversation that featured accusations, apologies, and tough questions about career narratives and accountability.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivered a packed mix of entertainment, culture, and heated conversations, led by the much-discussed sit-down between Stephen A. Smith, Jemele Hill, and Cari Champion. The trio finally addressed years of public tension, ESPN drama, and political disagreements in a candid three-hour conversation that featured accusations, apologies, and tough questions about career narratives and accountability. The show also spotlighted Colin Kaepernick’s response to Jay-Z after Hov referenced him during a recent freestyle. Kaepernick denied signing any non-disparagement agreement with the NFL and suggested Jay-Z’s continued comments stem from a “guilty conscience” regarding his partnership with the league. Elsewhere, Tyler Perry gave fans even more to celebrate by revealing he is already developing additional chapters of Beauty in Black after Netflix renewed the hit series beyond its previously planned ending, proving the Bellarie family drama is far from over. Meanwhile, Serayah confirmed that her engagement to Joey Bada$ is officially over following allegations of repeated infidelity, with reports indicating she has returned the ring and is focused solely on co-parenting their son. The show also touched on the latest developments in the Tupac murder case, ongoing questions surrounding other potential suspects, updates on Lionel Richie’s health, and a lively discussion about whether grandparents should be expected to babysit for free, blending serious headlines with the humor and family-style conversations listeners love.

In The Loop with John Lopez, Figgy and Shaun Bijani filling in for Reggie asks what about this Texans team feels like it could be too good to be true heading into the season. Then Figgy's Mixtape takes over as the crew reacts to Stephen A. Smith sitting down with former ESPN colleagues Cari Champion and Jemele Hill to address their past differences — but the question becomes, who was telling the truth?

Figgy and the crew react to Stephen A. Smith sitting down with Cari Champion and Jemele Hill to discuss their differences and debate who was telling the truth. Plus, an unusual proposal at an L.A. City Council meeting and listeners weigh in through Figgy's Voicemail.
In The Loop kicks off the show with John Lopez, Figgy and Shaun Bijani filling in for Reggie, reacting to the Astros taking three of four from the White Sox, capped off by a 6-2 win Thursday afternoon. The conversation then turns to the Texans after Nick Wright says the Jaguars have “far and away” the best quarterback in the AFC South, leading the guys to debate whether C.J. Stroud simply being good is enough for Houston to win big with the defense they have. The crew also asks the Question of the Day: What's the weirdest job you've ever had? ITL then goes Around The NFL before digging into what NFL executives really think about the Texans' Super Bowl legitimacy and C.J. Stroud, followed by What's Popping in sports and entertainment. Later, the guys put their boldest Texans predictions on the table, get into another edition of Lunch-Time Confessions, and John Lopez gets sentimental with his Sappy College Football Theme. The show wraps by asking what about the Texans feels like it could be too good to be true before Figgy's Mixtape reacts to Stephen A. Smith sitting down with former ESPN colleagues Cari Champion and Jemele Hill to discuss their differences and debate who was telling the truth, an unusual proposal during a Los Angeles City Council meeting, and listeners sounding off on the Figgy's Mixtape Voicemail.
Stephen A. Smith is best known for sports commentary. But now, he's weighing in on the direction of both political parties — and even considering a potential 2028 presidential run. In a wide-ranging conversation with Dasha, the outspoken analyst explains why he believes he could win the presidency but won't give up his career to campaign. He also discusses what he thinks is wrong with today's political class, his criticism of the direction of the Democratic Party, Donald Trump's appeal to voters, his interviews with controversial figures and the 2028 contenders he's watching — including a MAGA Republican he could consider voting for.

The Iran war has reached the six-month mark, far beyond the quick victory Trump once promised. Pakistan says it's still working on diplomacy to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while Trump says he has no timetable for ending the conflict and insists the United States is winning. The big story is that there now appears to be free passage through the American-controlled corridor off Oman's coast. About half of the prewar oil traffic is reportedly getting through. That would represent a significant loss of Iranian leverage — but only if crude prices begin to fall.Brent crude remains just under $90 a barrel. That's the low end of high, not the meaningful decline we saw during the memorandum-of-understanding period. Iran is at an impasse. Regime leaders have reportedly been doxxed, people aren't getting paid because the country can't move oil, and there are rumors that the supreme leader may be dead. If Iran's leverage since the revolution was “Don't interact with us or we'll derail the world economy and set the region on fire,” that doesn't appear to have happened. Its proxies haven't ignited the region, its oil isn't moving normally, and it may now be operating without a supreme leader.Politically, though, this has been an absolute disaster for Trump. It fractured his right flank and gave independent voters permission to say, “No, this guy sucks. He lied.” He called himself the president of peace, and now we've been at war with Iran for six months. Iran's goal is to make Trump pay in the midterms, and Trump is doing a lot to help. He doesn't have tremendous instincts for winning races when he isn't on the ballot.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

It's negotiating with the interim government for American ownership stakes in more than a dozen productive oil fields holding about 90 billion barrels of proven reserves. Venezuela would receive investment and additional revenue while American and other private firms rebuilt production. Is this energy security or an extraordinary American claim on another country's resources? To quote the Stephen A. Smith meme: We don't care. At least not when it comes to the one thing that matters in American politics — gas prices.So go gas prices, so goes the economy, inflation, and probably the midterms. Trump's original pitch was that tariffs might create instability and make foreign goods more expensive, but Americans could count on cheaper energy. A funny thing happened on the way to Tehran, and that got screwed up. More Venezuelan oil could push prices down and make it easier to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve without buying expensive crude. It would also almost certainly benefit the oil companies that remain furious about Hugo Chávez taking their equipment.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:14 - Trade War with Canada00:34:44 - Update00:36:49 - Iran00:42:19 - Venezuelan Oil00:45:13 - 9/11 Trial00:47:25 - Evan Scrimshaw's Midterm Picks01:25:03 - NFL01:48:34 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

THIS WEEK ON THE BALLER LIFESTYLE PODCAST THE COLLEGE ROOMMATE FROM HELL Brian and Ed open the show with college memories, including Ed's son's upcoming move to college and Brian's legendary freshman-year roommate experience. Brian tells the story of being assigned to a mysterious older student named Scott Andrews, who was already a senior when Brian arrived as a freshman. There was a CD player, a tube television, floppy disks, computer labs, and absolutely no chance Brian was getting access to his roommate's password-protected computer. It's a perfect reminder of just how different college life was in the 1990s. RIP: A VERY TOUGH WEEK Ed brings the guys a particularly heavy list of people who passed away. Among the names discussed: Christian Stiles Dolly Parton Hayden Panettiere Frank Beard of ZZ Top Shelley Fabares James Liu Butch Husky Christy Carlson Romano Bill Rasmussen, ESPN co-founder Nancy Kissinger Lucy Davis of the British The Office The guys spend significant time remembering Dolly Parton, celebrating her extraordinary songwriting career, philanthropy, personality and cultural impact. They also discuss the songwriting history behind “I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene,” including the incredible fact that Dolly wrote both songs on the same day. THE DOLLY PARTON APPRECIATION SEGMENT Brian and Ed make it clear: Dolly Parton was more than a country music star. They discuss her songwriting, business success, generosity and the countless stories of her helping people without making a big production out of it. Dolly's impact on music, entertainment and philanthropy gets the full Baller Lifestyle treatment. THE BRITISH OFFICE VS. YELLOWSTONE The guys revisit one of television's eternal debates: how can anyone possibly put Yellowstone ahead of the British version of The Office? Brian and Ed praise the short, tightly constructed run of the British series while mocking the sprawling world of Yellowstone and its endless discussions about land, trucks and ranching. ️ CALLAWAY'S VERY BAD GOLF COMMERCIAL Callaway finds itself apologizing after an advertisement showed a woman being pushed to the ground when she reached for a man's golf club. Brian and Ed try to figure out how something like this gets through the enormous number of people who presumably approve advertising before it gets released. The verdict: maybe don't make the joke where the punchline is literally throwing a woman to the ground. AARON RODGERS AND THE FLOCK CAMERAS One of the biggest stories of the episode: Aaron Rodgers reportedly contributed money toward license-plate reader cameras in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. Brian and Ed go deep on the implications of mass surveillance, police technology and the argument that tools introduced for one purpose can eventually be used for something much broader. The discussion turns into a larger rant about cameras seemingly being everywhere — except when people actually need them. STEPHEN A. SMITH, ESPN & THE HOT-TAKE ECONOMY Brian and Ed discuss Stephen A. Smith, ESPN personalities and the modern sports-media ecosystem. They question the value of manufactured controversy and compare sports television's hot-take culture to other forms of opinion-based media. Colin Cowherd, Pat McAfee and Stephen A. Smith all enter the conversation. THE 49ERS OWNER'S VERY STRANGE $140 STORY San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York becomes the subject of one of the strangest stories in the episode after reportedly being involved in an incident surrounding a $140 sexual encounter in Ohio. Brian and Ed can't understand why a billionaire NFL owner wouldn't simply use the advantages that come with being a billionaire NFL owner. ALLEGED RANGERS PROSPECT HAZING The guys discuss disturbing allegations involving Texas Rangers prospects in the Dominican Republic. The conversation centers on alleged sexual hazing involving underage players and the serious consequences surrounding the accusations. What supposedly happened gets increasingly unbelievable as Brian and Ed attempt to understand how anyone could possibly think this qualifies as "hazing." NORMAN POWELL'S HONEST NBA ASSESSMENT Norman Powell gives perhaps the most refreshingly honest answer imaginable when asked about his new team's prospects: They could be really good. They could also be really bad. Brian and Ed respect the honesty. LISTENER EMAILS HOW FUCKING RICH IS TED McGINLEY? The guys investigate the career and estimated wealth of Ted McGinley, known for roles including: Happy Days Married... with Children The Love Boat Shrinking Brian and Ed discuss the infamous "show killer" reputation that followed McGinley, his modeling career, his USC water polo background and his longtime Newport Beach real estate. OGRE VS. MEAT The eternal question: Ogre or Meat? Brian and Ed revisit Revenge of the Nerds and Porky's and attempt to determine which character wins the highly scientific Baller Lifestyle comparison. THE PORNOGRAPHIC PEEP-HOLE QUESTION A listener asks what would happen if the notorious shower peeping scene from Porky's occurred today. The guys discuss the infamous scene involving the school's shower and the consequences that would come with recreating it in modern times. FANTASY FOOTBALL OWNERS VS. KYLE SHANAHAN A listener wants Brian and Ed to conduct a welfare check on anyone who spent enormous amounts of money on fantasy football only to discover that Christian McCaffrey is dealing with an injury. The guys discuss the perennial fantasy-football frustration of preseason injury information and whether coaches should be required to provide more transparency. Spoiler: fantasy football is not real life. PATREON BONUS SEGMENT NON-SPORTS SEGMENTS The regular episode wraps, but Patreon subscribers get more. FORTUNE TELLERS Brian and Ed question how fortune tellers continue to operate, particularly when their businesses seem to occupy surprisingly nice houses. SOPHIE RAIN HELPS TEACHERS The guys discuss Sophie Rain's decision to help teachers after a Florida political candidate proposed a tax on pornography to fund schools. Rather than simply complaining, Rain reportedly stepped up and spent significant money helping teachers purchase classroom supplies. THE PENN STATE FRATERNITY COCAINE RING A bizarre story involving a Penn State fraternity, cocaine distribution and pledges leads to a discussion about college drug dealing, Venmo, cash, the dark web and the general stupidity required to run a criminal enterprise using your real name. ONLYFANS AND THE "STEPBROTHER" PREGNANCY STORY Brian and Ed discuss a bizarre OnlyFans-related story involving a woman claiming to be pregnant by her real-life stepbrother. The guys attempt to determine whether we're witnessing real-life chaos or simply the ultimate marketing strategy. THE RETURN OF LISA BIZZLE A deep-cut Baller Lifestyle Podcast callback resurfaces involving longtime friend of the show Lisa Bizzle. The guys remember the infamous story involving an unusual offer for videos of Lisa using the bathroom. They also discover that Lisa has moved into the ceramics business, prompting a call for her return to the podcast. SUge KNIGHT, TUPAC & THE ASHES STORY Suge Knight reportedly claimed that Tupac Shakur's ashes were rolled into blunts and smoked by his family and friends. Brian and Ed are skeptical. They discuss the logic — or lack thereof — behind smoking something that has already been burned. The conversation also turns toward the continuing legal proceedings surrounding Tupac's murder. TARGET'S CONTROVERSIAL CLOWN COSTUME The guys close out the Patreon show discussing a children's Halloween costume from Target that sparked controversy because of its resemblance to racist Jim Crow imagery. Brian and Ed question how such a product makes it through the design, marketing and approval process. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Brian's 1994 college roommate nightmare The Baller Lifestyle RIP segment The guys celebrate Dolly Parton's incredible life and career The Office vs. Yellowstone Callaway's disastrous golf commercial Aaron Rodgers and police surveillance cameras The modern sports-media hot-take machine Jed York's bizarre $140 incident Alleged Texas Rangers prospect hazing Norman Powell's brutally honest NBA prediction How rich is Ted McGinley?

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.
