Stephen A. Smith sometimes makes a fool of himself on purpose. Other times it’s by accident. In December, Smith infamously previewed a Thursday night matchup between the Chiefs and Chargers by stressing how important the Hunter Henry-Derrick Johnson matchup would be. Henry missed the whole regular season with a torn ACL; Johnson had been cut the previous March.
Surely Stephen A. learned a valuable lesson from that embarrassing error and vowed to always do his homework before talking football on TV, right? Sadly not.
Tuesday morning on First Take, Smith made the reasonable point that the Redskins should have signed Nick Foles after he was let go by the Eagles.
