Stephen A. hearing C's-Clips whispers

I'm sure cockroaches or ants or some microscopic form of life is more durable in the long run, but considering how much we've changed the surface of the planet and everything living here, yeah, we're currently the dominant species on the planet.

I do like how you worked cockroaches into a discussion of Stephen A., though.

Tardigrades vs. cockroaches

Are lobsters related to the roach family?

Cockroaches are distantly related to arthropods such as spiders (arachnids) and crustaceans (shrimp, crabs and lobsters).

Cockroaches are insects (Class Hexapoda) and lobsters are decapod crustaceans (Class Crustacea). The term 'roaches of the sea' reflects the behavior of lobsters as omnivorous scavengers. Cockroaches will eat almost anything organic and so will lobsters.

They clean up the dead and dying plants and animals in their environment.

Well, there you have it. The fact that we can boil 'em and dip 'em in drawn butter makes us the dominant species in my book.

I like grilling the tails too. Serve those babies up out on the patio along with a rare-ish tenderloin and a mellower red, like a pinot noir, and then adjourn to the fire pit with a nice single malt served neat.

Top of the food chain. Lets see the cockroaches pull that one off.

Stephen A.? Not on the guest list.

I looked up tardigrades. I'll put my money on them. Talk about a survivor.

I'm with you cowens/oldschool. CHI is going to have to win at least two in MIA to pull it off, though. If CHI wants to scare the proverbial crap out of them, winning tonight will go a long, long way.

Chances of that happening....slim and none! But that's way we play the games!

Thanks, swede. I learned something new this am! Very interesting creature.

Since we are labeling Stephen A. Smith a cockroache ........and cockroaches are related to lobsters....................

DOES SMITH HAVE A SHOT AT MAKING THE MAINE RED CLAWS ROSTER?

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!

This guy just loves stirring up ridiculous rumors. He loves to to hear his own voice. You are giving him much too much attention, he is a nobody as far as I am concerned. He throws this stuff against the wall hoping something, just one thing, will stick and he can say I told you so. A real nothing.

He was right about LeBron going to Miami.

We all knew LeBron was going to either NY or Miami.

Dbrown,

Rosalie's post right above yours nails it -- "He throws this stuff against the wall hoping something, just one thing, will stick and he can say I told you so."

You found the one thing that stuck.

He is a talking head for sure, but he's very entertaining sitting across from Skip Bayless. He just an entertainer, that's all. As has been pointed out, not much substance. The only things of substance on ESPN now are the 30 for 30's.
