Stephen A's Work ETHIC Is UNMATCHED

With ESPN at the time, you signed for appearances. So I was getting paid like $1,000 in appearance for 225 appearances a year. He was the boss at ESPN at the time. And he lost his damn mind because he got a bill for $550,000.

And he said, this is $325,000 more than I signed this man for. That makes no sense. How the hell did that happen? And there were 225 appearances, but I did 550. So when I did 550, it was like, when does this dude sleep? He saw the numbers, he saw the way people gravitated towards me,

he saw me put me on NBA shoot around is what it was called at the time instead of countdown. And when he put me on NBA shoot around and stuff like that and the ratings took off and all of that he said yo I'm gonna give this man his own show and that's how it all of that he said yo I'm gonna give this man his own show and that's how it

happened.
