Stephen A. Smith has made a career at ESPN of critiquing others. One ill-fated pitch put the shoe on the other foot Thursday.
We will remind you that Smith was a basketball player at Winston-Salem State University, so maybe he was just attempting a bounce pass.
Of course, no one milks an opportunity quite like Smith, who was in the broadcast booth analyzing his own performance in the second inning. He"I was disgusted with myself, man. Let me tell you something, I was warming up down there, I was throwing strikes from 60 feet away. And I got on that mound, and it looked like it was a mile away. I said, 'What the hell am I doing here?' There's no excuse. It was a chokejob. I should to better than that. Stephen A. choked a little bit.
Smith proceeded to apologize to Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay, then, because we are talking about Stephen A. Smith here, started name-dropping the likes of Shaquille O'Neal, Damian Lillard, Chris Paul and Draymond Green as people who would be going after him for the pitch."God, I don't even want to think about what [Chris]"Mad Dog" Russo is going to say about me. It was not my shining moment, but hey, I've seen worse.
Some other ESPNers, including Smith's host Molly Qerim, didn't wait for the next day's broadcast to mock their well-known colleague.
