Stephen A. Smith was not available on Tuesday to do First Take, so ESPN had someone in mind to fill in for him.
The ESPN star was taking a break from the daily sports debate show and the worldwide leader in sports brought in former NFL center and coach Jeff Saturday. He was joined by Shannon Sharpe and Victoria Arlen, who stepped in for Molly Qerim.
Saturday was in Stephen A. form as he impersonated him live on the show. The ex-Indianapolis Colts star wore Smith’s cowboy hat and posed with his feet on Stephen A.’s desk in his office.
Saturday also had a ton of controversial takes including his top 5 teams in the league as well as suggesting Lamar Jackson shouldn’t be the front-runner for this year’s league MVP trophy.
It’s safe to say that fans were not feeling him:
