Home/NFL

Another week, another controversy—because why should the drama stay on the field? This time, it’s not about players or coaches but two heavyweights going head-to-head. Stephen A. Smith, the king of hot takes, is fuming, and his target? A fellow ESPN reporter who dared to hype up Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. a little too much. Sure, Penix has shown flashes of brilliance, but according to Smith, someone’s clearly sipping the rookie Kool-Aid a bit too hard. So, who’s the bold soul that got under Stephen A.’s skin? Buckle up because this one’s juicy.

Well, this mysterious figure is none other than former QB Dan Orlovsky. In one of ESPN’s ‘Get Up‘ segments, the legend defended Michael Penix Jr and the Falcons after their massive 34-7 win against the Giants. And well, Stephen A Smith did not appear to have liked this at all.

The ESPN reporter is known for his ruthless honesty, which he demonstrated once again with his tweet about Orlovsky. Smith’s tweet read,Belong? Belong? After one game vs the pathetic @Giants, @danorlovsky7??? Really? Is that what you just uttered on @GetUpESPN? I swear…..something is seriously wrong with you. You need prayer. See you on @FirstTake.#LordHelpThisDude”

Oh, my! To be honest, this has made the situation a bit heated. But wait, the story isn’t finished yet. While this comment was already making waves, it appears that the former QB is also upset about it. Dan Orlovsky has responded to the tweet and added a little comment on it. The man claimed, “You not on my levels.” Jeez! Talk about drama. 

Looks like this clash is between Stephen A. Smith and someone just as fiery—because backing down is not on the menu. And guess what else was not on the menu for Stephen? A mayo sandwich. Yes, you read that right!

You see, this isn’t their first rodeo. Just a few days ago, we got a sneak peek of their dynamic when they butted heads over something downright bizarre.

What’s your perspective on:

Stephen A. Smith vs. Dan Orlovsky: Who's right about Michael Penix Jr.'s potential after just one game?

Have an interesting take?

Stephen A Smith despises Dan Orlovsky’s culinary choices.

It may seem strange, but this was mentioned on ESPN a few days ago. Actually, there was a conversation going on about sandwiches. And during that, Dan Orlovsky shared how much he adores a sandwich filled with mayonnaise. And Stephen did not like that comment (either). But if Orlovsky enjoys it, what’s the harm?

Well, there are mayonnaise lovers, and Dan Orlovsky is at the top of the list. The man not only revealed that this was his favorite dish but also stated that it was sufficient to construct a nice sandwich. Stephen A Smith despised this idea so much that he began making disgusted expressions. The ESPN reporter even claimed, “You say these things on television, you know people are watching, right?” Smith was so disgusted that he questioned if he could leave to throw up.

While it was a terrifically funny moment for the fans, their recent argument is a bit more serious. Following these social media comments, the atmosphere may have become more tense. We need to wait and see what happens, so stay tuned and grab your popcorn!
