The stephen a. smith hypothesis (re the nation of islam sympathizer/member?)
Yeah, the stephen a. smith hypothesis, the more you think about it, the more the pieces fit.
outkick opinion piece predicting espn would regret the new deal. And smith, too, don't you think? "This network isn't big enough for my talents." And espn would to get out of the remaining $80 million or whatever on his contract.
Meanwhile, you have cbs execs thinking a nightline show is their ticket to a big (Christmas, there, I said it) bonus and, best of all, is if they can get a known dei name that doesn't look like a dei hire to put on marquee of that theater named for a White guy (Ed Sullivan) would be a plus.
But they don't want to put a flighty, unfunny comedian in the chair. So they design a nighttime gig around smith that lets him paint the self-portrait he wants the public to see. Just enough sports content to make it seem semi-credible, a quirky co-host who's cool with yielding to the big star, enough entertainment guests to keep the low-info tmz demo, and then politicians and newsgeeks he can use to his advantage. Give him the prestige of side gigs on weekend sports, plus commentator cameos on sunday mornings and maybe 60 minutes or an evening news 30-second opinion spot, almost like he's the new face of cbs.
Look, Ma, it's the 2028 pre-campaign! 2026, oh wow, he's the 21st century bryant gumbel and isn't he great doing deep interviews with celebrities and authors and politicians, and occasionally subbing as evening news anchor? In 2027 cement up the "centrist" myth for political ambitions, some sister souljah moments, even some gotcha interviews of newsom and beshear (Hoft Bros. will be beside themselves, always taking the bait), and puff pieces across mainstream media saying, "this is amazing, this is the guy who can heal our country's deep divisions, why, he might even be as intelligent as obama."
2028? As always, never underestimate the republicans' ability to trip over their own feet.

Steven A.Smith aka "George Jefferson's",new political theme song:
Well I'm movin' on up(movin' on up)
c-b-s(movin' on up),
To the network that is known as...as the "eye",
Ohh,movin' on up(movin' on up),
To late night(movin' on up)
To make you think that I'm a White guy.
Can't be prez just by bitchin',
Need a weekly nice pill,
Then,I'll do...lotta lyin',
Raise my odds up from nil.
Now I'm in with the commies,
Wear the c-b-s hat,
As long as they give,
A show to me,baby,
I actually have a chance.
Well I'm movin' on up(movin' on up)
c-b-s(movin' on up),
To the network that's known as...as the "eye",
Ohh,movin' on up(movin' on up),
To late night(movin' on up)
Get Whitey's vote for more blackie lies.

Ha, yeah! Remembering how Rush used Movin' On Up as the theme music for his Carol Moseley Braun updates. Surprisingly, it never turned into a crisis with station managers and sponsors like some of his other stuff.
Quick, emergency, get Smith as a fill-in host for Monday co-broadcast on both cbs+espn and get obama and bubbawallace as guests because America Is On Edge, crying out for National Conversation About Racism, Volume 894, since the alarming discovery of a noose at the nashville stadium construction.
