Is Stephen A. the Worst Sports Announcer?

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith is among contenders in AOL's "Who's the Worst Sports Anchor" Contest.

He's up against CBS Sports' Shannon Sharpe for Worst Studio Host.

The former Inqwaster columnist has not appeared in that paper since August. Phawker reported in August that Smith had been stripped of his column. We told you later that the columnist, who had been expected to return to work as a reporter, did not, and extended his leave and had hired a stable of lawyers to represent him in an as-yet-unknown legal battle with the Inqwaster.
