Stephen A. Smith

You left out a couple of other things.

You saw me boxing with a rotator cuff over a decade ago.

I looked like trash.

You saw me throwing out the first pitch.

That was a choke job on my part.

Definitely a choke job, all right?

You also showed that video.

Did you notice that nothing's been deleted?

You could scrape that stuff off of Google and stuff like that.

Did you notice that no effort has been made?

Because I own what I do.

and I own what I can't do and I own what I don't do.

And that's the difference between me and y'all.

You left something out.

And you know what you left out?

You left out the fact that I was in the fourth grade and I got left back because I had a first grade reading level.

And here I am on national television,

I have to graduate from an HBCU, going up against Hall of Famers all the time who play professional sports, elite journalists in this business, and me coming from an HBCU is still doing what I'm doing.

I don't know if you noticed this or not, but come April, first take will have been number one for 14 straight years.

Turn that down.
