Stephen A Smith has been a staple of ESPN since joining in 2003.

He is literally everywhere and covering just about every sport.

Currently, Smith is under contract with ESPN until June 2025, but he and the company have been working on getting him a new contract.

Things have been progressing well as Stephen A Smith is nearing a new deal with Disney/ESPN, and a current proposal would give him even more influence within the larger Disney empire, according to a report by Variety.

The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand reported the deal will be around six years and $120 million.

Smith currently makes $12 million annually on his ESPN contract, which is set to expire in 2025.

It was reported over the summer that Disney made an $18 million per year offer to Smith, but he turned it down as he was seeking a deal worth at least $25 million.

It should be noted that Pat McAfee nets close to $30 million per year for ESPN to simulcast his daily “Pat McAfee Show” on the network, as well as his weekly appearances on “College GameDay” along with Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Nick Saban, Desmond Howard, and Lee Corso.

“Here’s my quote, ‘I was born AT NIGHT, not last night. I don’t talk about my contract negotiations. Never have. Never will,” Smith told The Athletic.

Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?

Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.

“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
