The Brief: Legendary sportscaster Stephen A. Smith Memes are prevalent. He is one of the most meme-able people alive, not just in sports.
DEEP DIVE
Stephen A Smith memes are as abundant on the internet as his bad sports takes are on TV and radio. As a result, if there was a Meme Awards Show, Stephen A. Smith should receive the first-ever lifetime achievement award. In fact, you could name the award the Stephen A. Smith Award.
Actually, consider this my official pitch to StayHipp to create a Meme Award Show a la the Webbys. The Meme-ys. Which is super appropriate, considering the fact that it’s how Stephan A. thinks you say “meme.”

Certainly, Stephen A. Smith is never more wrong than when he tries to talk football. Just look at Teddy Bruschi’s face when Stephen A. talks about San Diego Charger’s Hunter Henry, who tore his ACL before the season began.
This is exactly what happens when you don’t know football.. HUNTER HENRY HASN’T PLAYED ALL YEAR!! Look at Bruschi face 😂😂 #Wtf #OhDearGod #WatchFootballBro #DnD pic.twitter.com/fnlQEFevMl

“I could be wrong about that” should be Stephen A. Smith’s catchphrase. Like this incorrect take on Dwayne Haskins. Though to be fair, what we’ve seen of Haskins during his rookie year, he may not be a thrower either.
Wait what?!?!?!?!? You think Haskins is #MoreOfARunnerThanThrower ?!?@stephenasmith @dh_simba7 @FirstTake @Reflog_18 #OhioState pic.twitter.com/acv7sKHiwf

Additionally, he called Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore an upgrade over … Chan Gailey?! However, Gailey was the Cowboys head coach in the late ’90s. Most importantly, he hasn’t even coached in the NFL since 2016 and had been with the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs and Georgia Tech since he’d been with Dallas.
Stephen A Smith: With Kellen Moore, new offensive coordinator, really airing it out and showing his innovative skills as well, he's clearly an upgrade from Chain Gailey. I don't think that anybody would deny that based on what we've seen over the next two weeks.

Stephen A. Smith Meets Green Screen
For some unknown reason, Stephen A. submitted himself to being shot in front of a green screen. As a result, he had to expect he’d get the Shia LeBeouf treatment.

In conclusion, posting your green screen work would be career suicide. However, not if you’re Stephen A. Smith…
