Panel, thoughts? Sigh, samesies. Typically I don't like to fan the flames of professional gas bagging, but this is just too perfect. I hardly expect Stephen A. Smith to be tearing up the All-22 in search of TAKES so hot they have to be capitalized. However, trying to sound smart by referencing the oh-so-important tight end vs. linebacker matchup only to pick both a tight end and a linebacker that won't be remotely close to the field tonight is so unbelievably fitting of the state of sports media that I'm highly suspicious we're all being trolled. If there's a personality who should get a pass for misspeaking than it would be the one who never shuts the hell up, but there's nary a pass catcher on the "San Diego" Chargers' active roster that could possibly be mistaken for the one that's spent the entire year sitting on their PUP list. When going the "insert random defensive player with name recognition" route in making a primetime matchup seem like more than an entirely offensive shootout, one must make sure to reference an athlete whose last NFL team, prior to his release, is actual playing. Stephen A. Smith knows that better than anyone, so either the joke is on us or a legend in the art of decibel-reliant debate has finally screamed himself stupid after years of being extra spicy. Either way, considering his Spencer Ware mistake, we're probably pretty lucky he didn't make things super awkward by accidentally bringing up Kareem Hunt's physicality as a pass blocker. UPDATE: It gets better...
For reference...
