Stephen A. Smith is going off on former colleague Jason Whitlock.
For the past week, Whitlock has been questioning the truthfulness of Smith’s athletic accolades while reviewing his autobiography.
“High School basketball tryouts are not one-day affairs. Why is a grown man running around telling far-fetched stories? He’s an actor.”

On Wednesday night, Smith promised to go in on Whitlock on his YouTube show.
“I’ve had enough of that fat bastard. That piece of sh*t.”

At one point in his rant, Smith said Whitlock was worse than a white supremacist to him.
“As a black man, knowing our history, I thought there was nothing worse than a white supremacist. That is until Jason Whitlock came along. He’s worse them. He is the worst, most despicable, no good, lying fat a– human being who has lived.”
“You fat piece of sh–. You b—-.”

Smith also brought up the fact that no one at ESPN wanted to work for Whitlock’s “Black Grantland” website.
“Did you tell them that once this same article in Deadspin came out, weeks later you wrote a lengthy apology to me in an email, begging me to forgive you, pointing how you were betrayed by this particular writer so I know how you must feel that you betrayed me…
Did you tell the folks that you b—-, did you tell em, you fat piece of sh–, we got the names, we got Jemele Hill, we got Howard Bryant, do you want me to bring up the other writers who wouldn’t work for you?’
