With any luck, this fiasco could mark the end of Stehpen A. Smith's screaming on ESPN. This is the email that Smith's show sent out to various Cub fan site bloggers.

Smith.First, I want to thank you guys for allowing me to post here when we had Andre Dawson on the show. It was quite the success.

Of course Smith couldn't possibly be expected to own up to this. So he blames Deadspin.com

Of course Deadspin promply lit his sorry ass up like a roman candle. And Baker backed out of the Smith show as well.

Jackea X. Chan?????

Not saying for certain that the email isn't legit, but it could be a hoax from somewhere.

Her job appears to be rounding up audience members for Smith's abortion of a show.

The latest on this is that Smith has fessed up to his producer's email.

Of course they are now pinning it all on this one poor shelp rather than admitting that ESPN is ALL ABOUT trying to drive their ratings at any cost. Even if that means plotting an ambush of a guy who's career is on the line.
