A Screamin' Return

So let me get this straight: Stephen A. Smith, once a very good sports columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, spends four or five years appearing on ESPN for hours a day, all but ignoring his newspaper duties and writing about Philadelphia sports while no longer living in Philly or even really paying attention to what's going on there. Then, after refusing a demotion to a reporting job, he's fired. Now, a arbitrator has ruled that... the paper must not only rehire Smith, but pay him six months in back pay. Say what?
