Stephen A. Smith and kimberly martin on espn
Stephen A. Smith does not mind making things awkward on First Take, especially for his female co-hosts.

The ESPN personality had another female colleague bewildered as he took one conversation to a completely different place on ESPN’s “First Take.”

His latest came on Wednesday morning when he suddenly interrupted a football debate to talk to anybody reaching out to him for Martin’s number.

“To the fellas out there, you can’t have her. You’re bums,” Smith interjected, bringing the conversation to a halt. “You know you dogs. Stop texting me about trying to get with Kimberly Martin.

“It ain’t happening!”

Kimberly Martin could then be seen looking at the camera with astonishment.

Smith has been known for his blazing hot sports takes over the years but he is also known for his head-scratching takes about his female co-hosts as well. Luckily, he has yet to say anything that has gotten him sent to the HR department for sensitivity training. He is, however, towing a thin line and should likely stop before things get serious enough to where ESPN and Disney may have to make a tough decision.

In the meantime, Smith has been going viral as he has been giving his opinions on s3x and how to lie to your partner. He should probably keep that stuff separate from what he does on ESPN.

NBC dropped a huge announcement when they roped in the services of Michael Jordan. With the league returning to the network next season, NBC is said to have some big plans with the Chicago Bulls legend. While it is clear that he will be a part of the overall coverage, the media outlet has remained tight-lipped about the same. Till now, it was only known that Jordan will be acting as a ‘special contributor’ for NBC. But now, there might be some shocking details emerging.

Speaking on the topic, Alex Sherman of ‘CNBC’ provided some insight into the matter. He pointed out that the preliminary plans for Jordan are to appear in taped segments. This way, Jordan will be providing analysis on the games. These tapes are expected to be aired either at halftime or at the end of each game.

Sherman also pointed out that NBC will also keep the opportunity for Jordan’s role to evolve in the future. Extending the topic further, ‘CNBC’ also reported that the deal with Jordan was orchestrated by none other than his longtime friend, Jon Miller. Meanwhile, after landing such a huge deal, it is quite expected that Michael Jordan will be elated.
