Given the current political landscape in the United States, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone if any celebrity steps up to make a run for the Presidential Election in 2028. The Democratic party is seemingly in shambles, which has opened the door for someone to step up and make a run at the primary. Apparently, ESPN talking head Stephen A. Smith believes the door is wide open for him.
Smith has thrown his name in the ring despite saying he wouldn’t do it early on. He feels some momentum building behind his name, although it could all be a ruse just to get himself more viewers for his shows. Whether he’s serious or not, politics has seeped into his own show more than usual as a result. But he may be taking things a step too far, alienating his sports fans and bothering more with his recent guest.
Stephen A. Smith interviews Megyn Kelly in polarizing decision
Smith brought on Megyn Kelly to his “The Stephen A. Smith Show” this week. It’s safe to say that fans weren’t thrilled with the decision.
Kelly has had an enigmatic career. She has worked for ABC, Fox News and NBC throughout her career, with her most notable stint coming at Fox. She has made several unsavory comments that have led to backlash over the years, which has made her a divisive figure. She also brought on controversial conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to her show, despite the Sandy Hook situation.
She has practically alienated both left and right leaning Americans, operating as an Independent while leaning more right due to her hatred of “woke ideology”. She mentioned this year that she’s a conservative now. She voted for Donald Trump in 2020 and then appeared at one of his rallies during his 2024 campaign. She did that despite Trump bashing her in the past.

Deadline acquisition Andrei Kuzmenko is the spark on Kings’ offense in first playoffs
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Shooting stars burn bright and often burn out but they’re a wonder to see.

Five weeks with the Philadelphia Flyers wasn’t long enough to tell either way. But the Kings have managed to latch onto a comet blazing through their atmosphere for a wild ride that’s continued into the Stanley Cup playoffs.AdvertisementThe Kings have a 2-0 lead over the Edmonton Oilers and Kuzmenko has been a factor in each of his first two NHL playoff games.

Early matchup trends in Oilers-Kings series and how Edmonton can adjust
The Edmonton Oilers are down 2-0 in the team’s best-of-seven series against the Los Angeles Kings. The math people are flummoxed, and the eye test evaluators look toward Game 3 of the series with dread. It’s bad. Real bad. What can coach Kris Knoblauch do in order to win the pivotal next game, and the series? There may be some answers in the matchups.AdvertisementFactsThe Oilers are 7-7 goals at even strength, and the Kings are enjoying a five-on-five edge (7-5 goals). Special teams is a disaster, with Los Angeles scoring four goals with the man advantage and allowing zero goals on the penalty kill.There’s one piece of good news. When Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are on the ice together at five-on-five, the Oilers are scoring 9.45 goals per 60. It has resulted in just a 3-2 edge over 19 […]
Texas, Texas A&M baseball soap opera is SEC’s underrated contribution to sports nirvana
An indelible moment from the night Tennessee won its first baseball national championship on June 24 in Omaha, Neb. — maybe the indelible moment, if you’re adding up the ensuing discourse — was when the coach of the team that just missed on its first baseball national championship addressed job rumors.Advertisement“I think it’s pretty selfish of you to ask that question, to be honest with you,” Texas A&M coach Jim Schlossnagle began his response, and at that second in that room, eyes widened, eyebrows and antennae raised, laptops rustled in laps and prepared to clatter at full speed.Few duties in this profession are embraced as enthusiastically as buzzing fastballs under the chins of coaches seeking stealthy situation upgrades, considering how many in that profession whine about athletes doing the same.“I took the job at Texas A&M to never take another […]
