    Stephen A. Smith likens himself to the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, prompting spit take from co-host

    Stephen A. Smith is one of the many to find the Kansas City Chiefs annoying, saying it takes one to know one.

    With Super Bowl week underway, Smith and his other “First Take” co-hosts were discussing various topics about the game.

    Naturally, the “annoyance” of the Chiefs came up, and Louis Riddick asked Smith why the team and Patrick Mahomes are “annoying.”

    Dan Orlovsky gave the harsh reality, saying, “They win.”

    When Riddick wanted more, Smith obliged.

    “Listen, I would know something about that. I’m considered one of the most annoying people in television.” Smith said. “Why do you think that is?”

    The joke drew laughter from the entire set, and Molly Qerim had to clean up a mess after doing a spit take with her drink.

    “I’ve never done this in my kajillion years on TV,” she said. “I spit straight out my mouth, and I apologize to America. Oh my gosh. Stephen A. and I have never gotten along more. Oh my goodness. That was hilarious.”

    But all good jokes contain some truth, and that was the case for Smith’s crack.

    “April marks 13 consecutive years at No. 1, baby. I mean, this is what we do,” Smith continued. “Keep on hating because I’m gonna keep on winning.”

    The Chiefs have owned the NFL in recent years. They are playing in their fifth Super Bowl in the last six years and are aiming to become the first team ever to win three consecutive Lombardi trophies.

  • Deion Sanders’ son likens himself Trump when discussing people who ‘always just try to destroy you’

    Deion Sanders’ son likens himself Trump when discussing people who ‘always just try to destroy you’

    The Sanders family is in the football limelight, and for very good reason.

    Shedeur Sanders may very well be the first selection in this year’s NFL Draft just as his father, Deion, has put the Colorado football program on the map as the team’s head coach.

    After a successful season, Deion’s name has been floated around the NFL rumor mill, perhaps not coincidentally, as his son will go pro in about three months.

    Shedeur’s brother, Shilo, isn’t as highly touted as the others in his family, but he was still at the Senior Bowl this week to give scouts another look.

    Well, the practices didn’t go great for him, as several video clips of him getting beat went viral.

    Shilo was asked about those videos, and then he compared himself to President Donald Trump.

    “If you just hate me, or you want to hate me . . . paint me in a bad picture, they do that to our President, they do that to everybody, you know. So I’m not going to be safe from it,” Sanders said. “But it does get aggravating whenever you’re putting in work, and you’re working on your craft and people are just steadily destroying you.”

    “I just care about what the scouts think, I care about what Coach Prime thinks and my family thinks,” he added. “And I’ve got a good circle around me, so I really don’t let that stuff affect me. It’s just really stupid, though, how people always just try to destroy you, and I don’t do nothing bad to nobody.”

    The actual Senior Bowl itself was a better showing for Shilo. Although his West team lost, 25-0, he finished with five tackles and a pass breakup.

    Shilo joined the Buffaloes along with his father and brother, who left Jackson State at the end of the 2022 season to head to Boulder. Shilo played in 10 games this past season, recording 67 tackles as a corner, the same position his father played during his Hall of Fame career.
