Stephen A. Smith 'loved' Chris Baker's late hit on Nick Foles
ESPN mouth-mover Stephen A. Smith, already having taken several hits this year for his rambling, thoughtless take on domestic violence, has dispensed another scalding hot take, this time on the Eagles.
Nick Foles was laid on his back in yesterday's 37-34 victory over Washington, after defensive lineman and Chris Baker nailed him with a late hit.
Baker was ejected, along with Eagles lineman Jason Peters who for some reason responded negatively to the hit. A former Nittany Lion, Baker was kicked off Penn State's football team and expelled from the school in 2007 for his involvement in two separate off-the-field fights.
This morning, Smith announced that he was "applauding" Baker for the hit. "Didn't bother me at all," Smith said. "I actually loved it."
"You are going to jog and lollygag towards the action on a football field? Shame on Nick Foles. I bet you he won't make that mistake again. He should have known better. He deserved to get popped."
In Stephen A. Smith's world, the punishments for lollygagging are harsh.
