Sean Payton should make Saints rewatch 2017 NFC Playoff loss as motivation - Stephen A. \| First Take - YouTube

Just saw this a minute ago. Stephen A. Smith is an idiot and shouldn't be on TV.
I honestly believe that money motivates pro athletes more than past failures.
Maybe if they were actually playing the Vikings again, it might be a motivator, but the Eagles had nothing to do with that loss a year ago.

I know I am in the minority here but I love Stephen A. You have to take him for what he is, a little over the top shock jock but beneath it, I like the style he has created. But, Killer, I didn't agree with his stance on this particular subject.

You have to appreciate his vitriol for the Cowgirls though!!

I like Stephen A. Sometimes he says things I disagree with, but I like his passion and deep thought on things.

If he's going to show a loss, I think I'd show the 2011 loss to the 49ers. That was one of the most heartbreaking of all time.

Cannot stand the mouth piece Steven A. Smith. He brings nothing but controversial shock value trash to TV. Every time I see his worthless face I shut the TV off. He contributes nothing credible at any time.

this guy puts in like 16 hour days doing tv, radio, podcasts. i bet he doesn't even watch sports anymore. just highlights and gets his opinions fed to him by writers/producers. it's really shown this past year as he's had so many gaffs. this whole debate format has pretty much ruined sports media. it's so manufactured. can't have two people agree on something. luckily there's still a strong demand for more intelligent/funny/interesting discourse so guys like dan patrick, rich eisen, dave dameshek will always have a job. i just really want brian baldinger to get some shine. i could listen to that guy all day.

I disagree with him as much as I don't, but I love him. He's fun to watch.

I never could stand listening to the guy. He had a show on ESPN Radio for a short time (it was quickly cancelled from what I understand) and that's when I discovered NFL Radio because of always turning it over the second I heard his voice.

Screaming A. Smith is a racist... Fact

He also doesn't list Brees in his top 5 playoff QB's.

Do if you don’t list Brees in your rankings of top 5 QBs you’re a racist?
