“Fellas need to get over it,” he said. “As I said yesterday on Twitter, and I’ll say it again on national television, the Stephen A. Smiths of the world aren’t going anywhere. I’m here now. There will be hundreds if not thousands of who follow.

“These guys don’t wanna talk. They don’t wanna be accountable. Who the hell are we to tell them anything? So watch the game and shut the hell up and enjoy their greatness and make sure they get paid their money without giving any commentary whatsoever.

“You wanna control the narrative all the damn time. You’re not doing it. You don’t get to get rid of us. We’re here and we’re gonna be here. Get over it because we’re not going anywhere. … I get paid to talk about you.”
