ESPN star Ryan Clark provided a hilarious anecdote about Stephen A. Smith’s behavior behind the scenes during a recent appearance on First Take. Clark recalled that Smith’s focus during an earlier appearance on Get Up! was not on presenting commentary but solely on displaying his attire. Smith acknowledged the truth of Clark’s account. Clark went on to express his belief that Smith’s behavior was consistent with his personal brand, while Smith himself rejected the notion of being confined to a specific label, stating, “I just believe in being Stephen A.”
The conversation then shifted to Smith’s remarkable weight loss journey, which he discussed in a previous episode of his podcast. Smith revealed that he had reached a concerning weight and had been on the verge of developing diabetes. However, through a change in diet and workout regimen, he has managed to shed an impressive 20 percent body fat. Smith commented on his improved appearance and well-being, stating, “I feel lovely. I think I look lovely.”
In addition to the insights into Smith’s off-camera antics and weight loss journey, the First Take episode featured discussions on the upcoming NFL Draft and other trending topics in the sports world.
