After all the defections, it looks like this polarizing figure is being positioned as the new face of ESPN

How do we feel about the new face?

In recent weeks, ESPN has lost Heather CoxCris Carter, Ray Lewis, Joe Schad, Trent Dilfer, Mike Tirico and Skip Bayless. With a lack of talent left, it would seem the worldwide leader is now leaning on a man with no lack of opinions — Stephen A. Smith.

Smith's day started on First Take spent a whopping 37 minutes on the 6 pm SportsCenter and ended the evening on SportsCenter after Game 4 Wednesday, per Awful Announcing. Here's the minutes breakdown:

"In the middle of his long day, viewers were treated to quite a heavy dose of Stephen A on the 90 minute 6 PM ET edition of SportsCenter. How much you ask? Of the 67 non commercial minutes, viewers got 37 minutes of Stephen A. Smith.

Smith was present 55% of the total minutes and had 14 more minutes of screen time than the 23 minutes of commercials. He was brought on 6 different times (below a crappy vine I made showing his various intros through out the program)."
