Former Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas threatened to beat up his ESPN colleague Michael Smith three times while intoxicated on Friday night, according to a report by The Big Lead. The report says that Douglas was with “Numbers Never Lie” co-stars Smith and Jemele Hill at the House of Blues in Orlando, Fla. when he reportedly tried to get on the stage with the DJ and threatened to attack Smith if he could not help. Then things got ugly, as Douglas unleashed some racial slurs at Smith, also an African American. From Jason McIntyre of The Big Lead: After the third threat, Smith tried to walk away, at which point Douglas grabbed Smith’s wrist and hurled two racial epithets at him, calling him an “Uncle Tom” and a “House N—-.” Smith, the witness says, turned around to protect himself, at which point onlookers rushed in to break it up. Three independent sources have verified this version of events. Douglas was then pulled aside by someone from ESPN who was in attendance, and the two briefly spoke. Douglas then left the party. A source at ESPN says that Douglas has been yanked off Numbers Never Lie until the network can sort out details from the night. Douglas and Smith were in Orlando for the National Association of Black Journalists, which hosted the event at the House of Blues.

ESPN Fight: Hugh Douglas Called Colleague Michael Smith "Uncle Tom"
Last Thursday, at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention and Career Fair, Hugh Douglas, the former Eagle and current NFL analyst for ESPN, was very ? . A day later he would be both ? and combative, and, as The Big Lead first reported, he and an ESPN colleague would nearly come to blows. But what went down on Friday had its roots in what happened on Thursday.
Douglas was at the ? Palms Resort hotel, along with his Numbers Never Lie co-hosts, Michael Smith and Jemele Hill. Smith and Hill were speaking to "hundreds of conventioneers." Smith and Hill, both former print journalists, have been buddies for a while. They started doing a podcast a few months ago, in addition to their ESPN TV show. The podcast is called His & Hers with Michael Smith and Jemele Hill, and they were explaining to potential ESPN job recruits how it came to be. Just as they were wrapping up, Douglas approached them.
Two people told us that Douglas was ? . Not tipsy. Wasted. We've also been told that Douglas has felt uncomfortable ever since Hill's addition to the show a few months back. Smith and Hill, after all, are old friends, and the show was now two journalists plus an ex-? , with some loose talk that new hire Nate Silver might have some role on the show, too. A source speculates that Douglas, outnumbered by non-jocks, felt left out.
As Hill was just about to finish speaking to the group of 100-plus, Douglas came up to her, and demanded the microphone, even though he wasn't scheduled to speak at the event. He might have been slurring, and he was certainly talking loud enough for others to hear it. Hill said no thanks. She apparently had to make some effort to keep the mic out of his hands. Douglas was not happy, and neither were Hill and Smith. This was embarrassing.
And that was just the start of the meltdown.
The next night, there was a party at the club, House of Blues, in Orlando. Douglas was, again, very ? . Lots of people were drinking, so this was less of a big deal, but then he started making some movements toward the stage at the club. ESPN has had experience with ? commentators doing regrettable things in public, as with Dana Jacobson in 2008. Things seemed to be headed in that direction. One person told us that Smith—who wasn't drinking—told Douglas not to go up. It would be a mistake. Douglas apparently wasn't in a state to be reasoned with. He didn't go up there, but a few minutes later, Douglas was angry enough to finally tell Smith off.
"Uncle Tom," Douglas told Smith, according to two people familiar with the altercation. Smith apparently did his best to ignore this. Shortly thereafter, Douglas had more words to say to Smith. He grabbed him by his arm. He threatened to beat him up. Some people, including security, had to break it up.
ESPN has said it's looking into the matter. Douglas wasn't on the show yesterday, and won't be on again today, when it airs at 2 p.m. "I just can't comment on this," Douglas said when I reached him by phone. "No comment." -
I hate that light skinned ? ? he stays suckin romo ?
-
You yellow ? ? stay losing....I'm surprised Jemele Hill didn't intervene, lord knows her husky ass would've had Hugh in a full nelson the minute ? got physical...
-
Never really thought of him ass an Uncle Tom maybe I just wasn't paying close enough attention

Probably cause he is not. Give anyone time they can find some obscure quote dude said in high school are something. But in the end Mike Smith is not a Uncle Tom. Really if you anyone read the book Uncle Tom's Cabin. Uncle Tom is the strongest person in the book. But that is another chapter.
-
i never seen hugh douglas on tv, but when michael smith used to be just a guest on pti i always thought he was lame as ? . i don't think he's an uncle tom, just another wack espn personality.
-
Hugh douglas got thrown in the bushes
-
can black athletes fans etc. please stop prematurely calling cats house negros and uncle toms. unless cats are running around praising white kids and intentionally downing black folk on some uncle ruckus ? the term doesn't need to be used.
New flash the black community is diverse. but calling cats house negros just because they light skinned and speak proper and are a little cheezy is doing the same ? the KKK wanted to do. That was to make it seem like any proper speaking smart black person doesn't exist and is taboo.
? forbid in tv shows set up to get reactions out of folks a stephen a smith or michael smith defends a white althlete and ? they automatically deemed house negros now lmao. -
Alcohol is a helluva drug.
-
I never saw anything that suggested Mike Smith was a ? or anything of that nature. Hugh was just hype off the liquor.
-
-
The Jury is out on Mike Smith being a ? , however, I think there should at the least be an investigation. All reports of alleged cooning should be taken seriously. You don't just call a ? a ? for no reason.
-
So now we giving props to dudes for not being able to hold their liquor and making fools out of themselves. Well, alrighty then.
-
When keeping it real goes wrong!
We'll see him on NFL Netwrork soon. lol -
lol @ the thread-title exaggeration.
-
Mike Smith is lame as ? ...

Got ? at a Mike & Mike roast and went off on a ? notre dame, ? jesus rant -
Never heard Mike say anything coonish. Hugh Douglas on the other hand made a damn fool of himself, if anything he was straight up cooning.

Let's recap this for the slow people: the "house ? " struck fear enough in onlookers by turning to face his accuser than the "field ? " did by acting up. Let that marinate: turned around to protect himself is code for "You musta forgot I'm from NOLA!" This scene basically.

One day y'all gone understand the difference between real strength and this fictionalized "I don't give a ? " loud ? . Just because a black man's white ancestry shows in his skin and he uses proper English does not make him weak.
And didn't T.O. beat Douglass's ass back in the day? -
They are both under investigation. One of them is a ? for sure, possibly both.Never heard Mike say anything coonish. Hugh Douglas on the other hand made a damn fool of himself, if anything he was straight up cooning.

This just goes to show how ? up black people are though. Look how quick dude was to attack another black person verbally over some dumb ? . It's the same as on here where the word ? spreads faster than AIDS.
