Screamin' A, put down that bullhorn

As reported earlier this morning on Deadspin.com, "Quite Frankly With Steven A. Smith" has taken the gas pipe and come to a screeeeeeching halt on ESPN2.
The network confirmed it late this morning with a release, announcing that Smith, the Philadelphia Inquirer columnist as well as an "outspoken and insightful commentator," will "expand his presence across numerous ESPN entities."
Just not his own one-hour show.
They're gonna find more time for him on SportsCenter. On NBA studio shows. On ESPNEWS. Write for ESPN Magazine. And ESPN.com. And hosting "interview specials" -- do I smell a Roy Firestone in the making?
Today is his last "Quite Frankly" episode (ESPN2, 8 p.m.), which was taped yesterday. It debuted in Aug. 2005, which is a pretty decent run in the TV world. Longer than "ESPN Hollywood," so we'll give him that.
Quite frankly, the show was worth trying out for ESPN. However, once the screaming stopped, even Stuart Scott probably stopped watching it two months ago.
