Stephen A. Smith is a total fucking jackass (in case you didn't already know that).

"Now, far be it for me to wax eloquent over the sanctimonious arena of professional ethics."

Stephen, you illiterate fool, you've never "waxed eloquent" about anything in your life. All you do is jam polysyllabic words into grammatically incoherent sentences, written in a perpetual scream.

"The appearance of impropriety, of compromising one's position and organization, is flagrant where Scott is concerned."

The appearance is flagrant? Did you even read that sentence before you published it?
