As a proud Mexican American I can only day that you are a sell out. Selling out minorities to curry favor with DT. You are despicable. I hope to never see you again on any sports medium. You are fine with other minorities getting attacked and suck up to DT's pathetic attempt at getting a Nobel peace prize. By the way, he would love nothing more than Ukraine surrendering and giving up their country for Putin. He is on PUTINS side . pathetic.
LOVE YOU AS A EXCELLENT SPORTS COMMENTATOR. LOVE YOU AS BRICK ON G.H.I took over 45 pictures of you today.PLEASE MAKE MORE APPEARANCES 🙏🏻❗️❤️🩹
Just learning more about sports like football, basketball and hockey.
I have seen him on ESPN.

orelighe is fucked
because in her eye's he finally became like Tupac.
why did the podcast stopped updating?
Steven A ...always. always. always believes every time a white person says something that he disagrees with he will always bring race into it.. he is so predictable.. he mentions that someone like Steve Kerr has no idea what is to be black when everyone that they are talking about is black.. as far has we can see Steph Curry is black.. LeBron is not the only black man in the league.. but Steven A acts like he is)
I enjoyed listening to them both. the conversation was very interesting.
This was a good show. I really wanted to hear Shannon's side of what happened at FS1
Hack ..that's all he is! He has no loyalty or conviction he only goes the way of the most $$. Trying to copy a Baptist preacher but only preaching LIES, he is a grifter and no one should take him serious.
Outspoken as usual but dead wrong on many beliefs about Trump. You see Stephen. A. lives in a dark bubble. The day will come when you realize that Obama is playing you for fools. Some will survive in a new world that is design for the slave masters but the 95% of the world population will all crumble to the NEW WORLD ORDER.
Lebron is a biatch. No father growing up. Behaves like a Karen. Probably the most famous Karen of all time
This article is truly astounding. Appreciative for sharing.A commitment of appreciation is all together for the association, keep on sharing such an information.https://www.allieduniversalehub.org/
