Yes, There Will Be a Fourth (and Final) Stephen A. Smith Heckling Video. June 11, 2009

So yeah. We are aware that Stephen A. no longer works for ESPN. We are aware of his amazing Twitter page, and we even made Deadspin aware of some fun developments there.
We are also aware that some of you are curious about what, if anything, we’ll do this year.
Here’s the deal: We’ll do a video of some sort. This year’s “Stephen A. Smith Heckled At the NBA Draft” video will be rather different, owing largely to the lack of Stephen A. to heckle. It will also be the last, for the same reason. But it’s also just time to call it. We have traversed a lot of territory – groundbreaking whimsy, triumphant perfection, dark explorations of fate – and we’ve accomplished a lot of productive silliness. But just as all good things must come to an end, they also cry out for proper closure. So: One more video.
What form will this video take? We’re still figuring this out.
But we will make an effort. Stay tuned. Oh, and follow us on Twitter, won’t you? @hecklingsociety
Why must all good things come to an end before their time?
[...] No matter, Stephen A. The show goes on, with or without you. [...]
While the Stephen A Saga will come to a fitting close, I hope that means you can start up a new heckling society and go after some of the other commentators of the draft, for future drafts will ultimately be bland without you guys in future years.
