ESPN/Screencap
Early this morning, ESPN blowhard Stephen A. Smith hard a rough time on today’s edition of ‘First Take’.
While previewing Thursday night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers. Smith told co-hosts Max Kellerman and Tedy Bruschi on Thursday morning’s show, pointing out who that he was looking forward to watch running back Spencer Ware, Chargers’ tight end Hunter Henry and Chiefs’ linebacker Derrick Johnson.
Unfortunately for Smith, none of the players he mentioned this morning are playing tonight.
Stephen A said he’s looking forward to watching these players tonight for Chargers vs. Chiefs:
– Spencer Ware (who’s out tonight)
– Hunter Henry (who hasn’t played all year)
– Derrick Johnson (who’s a free agent)💀💀💀 pic.twitter.com/EP3kgayNJm— Complex Sports (@ComplexSports) December 13, 2018
This is incredible…Stephen A. Smith’s 3 players to watch:
1. Spencer Ware (out tonight)
2. Hunter Henry (who has had a great season according to him lmao)
3. Derrick Johnson (not currently in NFL) https://t.co/uz8E4swx3R— Jon Ledyard (@LedyardNFLDraft) December 13, 2018
Everyone on the Internet went on to mock Smith for his poor analysis. Even the LA Chargers got in on the fun by posting the fact that several other Chargers players wouldn’t be playing tonight.
UPDATE: LaDainian Tomlinson, Dan Fouts and Lance Alworth are all OUT for tonight. #LACvsKC https://t.co/0nw4diFKB0

Smith went on to own up to his mistake later on Twitter.
My Brother, it’s called a MISTAKE because I was think of Virgil Green, but mentioned Hunter because I was multi-tasking. That’s what happens when you’re doing a thousand things. But I don’t blame you if you told me to “Stay Off The Weeeeeeedddddddd.!” That was a brain-lock moment https://t.co/hhFfUmbhiu
