Stevo: I will retire from commentary in three years

[josie andrews]

An ex player of great repute, Mike “Stevo” Stephenson has been the face and voice of Sky Sports’ Rugby League coverage for over two decades. Leeds Rhinos star Jamie Jones-Buchanan discusses the journalism career of a man that by his own admission splits opinion right down the middle..

I heard the following quote just a few months back: “If I am I because I am I, and you are you because you are you, then I am I and you are you. But if I am I because you are you and you are you because I am I, then I am not I and you are not you!” Kotzker Rebbe (1787–1859).

The quote was from a Hasidic Rabbi leader from Poland and for me interestingly summed up what we spend most of our life trying to understand. That is, if we don’t use our unique, God-given abilities, and are uninfluenced by the outside world, then we can never truly be ourselves.

Looks like they even spoke pretentious nonsense in 18-19 century Poland But Im pleased it made profound sense to you Josie

[cow yeds]

Should have gone three years ago.

[jobo]

Sky have no mercy. Another three years aaaaaaarrgh.

[Mrs Lifter]

I think he is a rubbish commentator but he does make me chuckle sometimes all be it unintentionaly.
And he is a dead ringer for my grandad who was the wrestler Emile Foy otherwise known as Elmo the mighty. I kid you not
Google him and see for yourself

Hopefully they will get rid of Wiggy a lot sooner, baldy by himself might not be too bad without his other half

[Owd Codger]

If some cared about the game as much as Stevo does, they would be entitled to make petty comments about him.

Anything to do with him being a Yorkie?

[Mike]

Does caring about the game make you a good summariser? Or a good brick layer? Or a good anything. Its irrelevant unless is affects how good you are at your job. It is not enough.

I think you could be right about that Meds. Stevo I can live with but Eddie gets my goat

Eddie is one of the worst commentators you will hear. He is biased, clueless and utterly annoying.
