Thoughts from Stephen A. Smith Show

[Loyal]

Last week, he said that if Rams didn't get the #1 Seed (On to San Francisco! - Rhody), they would not make it to the Super Bowl, because he thought the Rams would be suspect outside of LA in winter. Looks like his mind was changed in the Denver cold. He called the Rams and the Chefs as the two best teams without qualification this week, and mentioned the Ram's Todd Gurley to rumble 208 yards in the cold.

Also, he predicted that Denver coach Vance Joseph will be fired after 4 straight losses (didn't verify this because they are his words that I am paraphrasing.

I know I beat Old School from posting this, considering his Stephen A. homerisms!

Stephen A is such a dumb@$$. That game didn't really do anything to increase or decrease the fact the Rams are in that group of legit contenders. From there who the F knows how it's gonna shake out. Effin clickbait-driven bastid.

IMO he is very knowledgeable and produces some great thought provoking work.

But his delivery is horrific to me. I hate it.

Knowledgeable of the NBA? Surely. But I don't think he's all that when it comes to the NFL.

Agreed.

For sure he knows the NBA better than the NFL.

But the delivery kills it for me, when he isn't over the top it's worth listening to but when he is over the top I can't listen.

uhhhh. There's a lot of linked tweets and junk so not going to copy whole thing but click and read if you like basking in how stupid Stephen A Smith is. Well played by the Chargers social media person lol.

Say it loud enough and … well, it still doesn’t make it true.

Stephen A. Smith quickly went 0-for-4 on ESPN’s “First Take” previewingThursday night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers.

Smith wildly misses the mark
Smith gave his take to Max Kellerman and Tedy Bruschi on Thursday morning’s show, pointing out who he was looking forward to watching.

He highlighted Chiefs running back Spencer Ware, Chargers tight end Hunter Henry and Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson.

If that didn’t read right to you, it’s because it definitely was not. And it had his TV mates serving as live fact checkers.

Stephen A Smith's scouting report for #TNF has Hunter Henry and Derrick Johnson as a key matchup...

Neither has playd a snap for the Chargers or Chiefs all year

Those faces, though.

Correcting Smith’s scouting report
There’s quite a few things to undo here.

1. “I’m going to have some faith in Spencer Ware and thinking he can do some things.”

We’re not sure why. Ware was officially ruled doubtful with a foot injury on Thursday afternoon. Kellerman, in some disbelief, reminded Smith of such.

2. “I’m also looking at the San Diego Chargers on offense.”



Maybe we got to the bottom of this: he’s watching game tape from prior seasons. That’s the only way you’re looking at the San Diego Chargers.

3. “And I’m thinking about Hunter Henry and the way that he’s played this year …”



Henry, who we should note is indeed a tight end for the Chargers, has been out all year with a torn right ACL.

4. ” … he’s going up against Derrick Johnson and I have to keep my eyes on that.”



Johnson was certainly a guy to keep an eye on.

From 2005 through 2017. He left the Chiefs in February, signed with the Oakland Raiders, and has since been released.

Twitter appropriately roasts Smith

Well @LesBaker his work here definitely provoked some thoughts for me, but I don't think it's the kind you meant.
