Smith questions Kelly Stafford revealing she dated Matthew’s college backupSmith, 56, joined ESPN in 2003 and has been a key part of a number of shows, but is most famous for his rants and heated debates on “First Take.”
He also has his own podcast “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” which is outside of the ESPN umbrella, and he discusses a whole range of issues, including politics.
“I like talking politics, I like talking about some of the political issues that are percolating and are permeating throughout our society and beyond,” Smith said. “That stuff does not scare me… certainly, it’s a dangerous platform at times, I understand that. Particularly in the climate that we live in, but I also like to be that renegade.”“And I’ve often said this, I don’t knock ESPN and Jimmy Pitaro for doing this one bit,” Smith continued.
Smith also told Eisen that his current contract did not say anything that he could have his own podcast outside the network, so he had to ask ESPN for permission to do the show, and he acknowledged that the current higher-ups have always kept their word with him and are “incredible.”Billionaire heiress Andrea Catsimatidis and reality TV royal ‘Prince’ Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe call it quits
