Stephen A. Smith, a prominent American TV personality, had a field day with the Dallas Cowboys’ recent loss. The 55-year-old commentator has always been a controversial figure in the NFL. His opinions about athletes and the teams often land him in a tough position with the fans.

Before the match between the Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers, Marcus Spears and Smith had a bet of over $1,000 on whether Dallas QB Dak Prescott would throw two interceptions. Unfortunately for Spears, Smith ended up cashing in as the Cowboys suffered a devastating loss at the hands of the 49ers. Furthermore, he didn’t hold back from taking multiple digs at the Cowboys in his interview.

On the latest episode of the ‘First Take’ show, Stephen A. Smith got the best opportunity to tarnish the name of ‘America’s team’ as their performance was unbelievably poor against the 49ers. Smith kept calling the team an embarrassment as he donned a number 88 Dallas Cowboy jersey as further mockery.

Smith said, “Cuz those Brothers was down 42 to 10 with 13 minutes left in the game. I mean just an embarrassment and I’m just looking at certain stats here.” The heated relationship between Smith and the Dallas Cowboys is known by the fans and the NFL. He has clarified his reasons for the targeted hate by saying, “They walk around like they’re champions; they ain’t won a damn thing in 28 years. This is what Cowboy fans do. Cowboy fans are what makes you hate the Cowboys.” Smith’s views on the Dallas team might make sense, but the fans usually dislike him as he has extreme opinions about sports despite having no sporting background.
