The feud between Stephen A. Smith and Jason Whitlock has flared up once again with insults and accusations from both sides. Whitlock, who was recently fired from FS1, accused Smith and Shannon Sharp of making up stories about his departure. In turn, Smith slammed Whitlock for his professionalism and past behavior.

Smith shot back.

"FAT AND UNTALENTED" : Smith subtly called Whitlock "mean" and "fat and untalented" during a public spat, and made it clear that the target was not his direct opponent.
"Begging for forgiveness": Smith accused Whitlock of previously begging for his forgiveness after an article criticizing Deadspin, claiming that Whitlock understood the sting of betrayal, but that he himself was unrepentant about it.
Past tensions:

The Deadspin article Smith referenced described Whitlock's past struggles with colleagues, including Smith and other ESPN celebrities. It adds context to the current animosity and hints at a history of friction.

Where to go from here?

With both sides paying lip service, the question remains: will this feud escalate further? Smith's aggressive response suggests he won't tolerate Whitlock's attacks, while Whitlock's outspoken record of criticism suggests he may not back down.
