Amid speculation that Stephen A. Smith could run for the 2028 United States presidential election, the popular NFL ESPN analyst opened up on why he’s never tied the knot as his 58th birthday in October approaches.

Of course, most high-profile celebrities (actors, musicians, athletes, politicians. etc.) get married at least once in their lifetime. Smith has enjoyed countless memorable experiences in his life, but marriage is not one of them.

Smith rarely talks about his personal life, but the longtime ESPN talent recently went into detail about why he’s never married despite his status as a prominent sports media personality.

Speaking on Cam’ron’s “Talk With Flee” podcast, Stephen A. Smith explained that his demanding schedule with the Worldwide Leader in Sports. Smith noted that he works at least 330 days annually, including Thanksgiving and Christmas:

“I know that it’s hard, I know that it’s worn on some people as well,” he said. “It is the reason why I’ve never been married, because I was on the road 200 days out of the year and the fact of the matter is at that time it was no way in hell I was going to be faithful. I knew that, so why the hell am I going to sit up there and violate my marital vows knowing ahead of time I ain’t going to honor them?”

Smith, who has two daughters, revealed in a 2019 interview with GQ that he was previously engaged. When asked why the engagement with the unnamed woman never worked out, he declined further comment.

His former ESPN “First Take” colleague, Skip Bayless, didn’t get married until he was 64 years of age in 2016. That’s just another reminder that it’s never too late to find love or tie the knot with somebody.

Stephen A. Smith Expected To Sign New Massive Deal With ESPN Soon

Smith’s current deal with ESPN is set to expire at some point in 2025. It has been widely reported that the two sides are expected to agree on a multi-year extension, one that will pay him over $100 million.

Love or hate Smith, he’s one of the most entertaining sports media personalities with a giant army of fans. He’s delivered massive ratings for the Worldwide Leader in Sports (“First Take” crushed Bayless’ “Undisputed” show on FS1 in viewership), and ESPN knows just how valuable he is to their program.

So don’t expect Mr. Smith to go anywhere. When all is said and done, he’ll likely have signed a new deal that’ll take him well into his 60s.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.

Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.

Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.

“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.

“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.

“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.

“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.

Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone

While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.

Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.

Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.

In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.

“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.

Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
