Michelle Beadle New Podcast on Grantland after Slamming Stephen A. Smith and Ray Rice

Sports reporter Michelle Beadle made waves in July when she openly questioned fellow ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith, who made comments implying that abused women were responsible for managing their abusers' feelings and behaviors. This followed the much publicized domestic violence case involving former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, who brutally assaulted his then-fiancee Janay Palmer. When Beadle slammed Smith for his victim-blaming rhetoric, the resulting furor over Smith's statements ultimately led to Smith's week-long suspension. Now, Beadle is moving on and starts a new podcast on Grantland this month.
