Stephen A Smith decided to boot his debate partner Max Kellerman off the show and the ratings of Fist Take has tanked thus far since this power move. The lesson is this for Stephen A: Stop being intoxicated with your own self- importance. Chris Carter tried a similar ego power move and we have not heard from him since. People have a sense of fairness and Max is very likable. Kicking nice people in the rear has harmed his ratings. In effect, fans are telling Mr Smith to KICK ROCKS!
