Our Long National (Er, Local) Nightmare is Over

News Item: Inquirer Drops Stephen A. Smith's Column

Yes, Stephen A. comes in for a lot of criticism around here, mostly due to his very obnoxious, VERY LOUD, television persona. There once was a time when I considered him a great writer, and one of the better chroniclers of the Philly sports scene. But, that was before his column became maybe his third career priority, and he started covering Philly sports despite hardly spending any time in the city, reportedly sending in bits of his column via Blackberry during commercial breaks of his TV show.

My guess? He'll be an ESPN.com Page 2 columnist by next week.
