Jalen Rose is bothered by mainstream sports coverage in the United States.

On Monday night, Rose took to Twitter to bash sports analysts who “fake troll” the Dallas Cowboys for ratings.

“So glad I didn’t make a career of content pretending to fake troll the Cowboys.

“Praying on the audience being dumb/lazy and low hanging fruit.”

Got y’all talking about Dallas knowing the only way they can actually shut up critics is to win it all. Suckers”

Fans immediately believed Rose was taking a shot at Stephen A. Smith, considering Smith’s whole schtick is trolling Cowboys fans like he did on Monday morning’s edition of First Take.
