Now we have some more backlash over the highest paid ESPN employee’s comments.

MLB insider Jeff Passan dropped the hammer during a First Take segment this morning, and the best part is, Stephen A. had to sit there and take it all in.

Stephen A. always traffics in ignorance, it seems that’s what he does best.

Stephen A. is definitely going to be walking on egg shells for a while.
