Stephen A. Smith Is On The Legal Warpath

Something interesting is going on with Stephen A. Smith of ESPN, who was memorably canned by the Philadelphia Inquirer. He’s lawyering up. Hardcore.

Backstory for the readers: Smith, a longtime sportswriter (and NYC native) for the Philadelphia Inquirer, began appearing on ESPN and broadcasting a daily radio show for them in 2005. A clash of personalities at the Inquirer ensued and an item publicly humiliating Smith was published this past August, announcing that they were demoting him from a columnist to a reporter.
