A discussion about the upcoming Indianapolis Colts vs. Dallas Cowboys matchup results in a Stephen A. Smith rant at Indy's expense.
On Wednesday, Nov. 4, ESPN's First Take featured a heated discussion between ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and former Indianapolis Colts player Jeff Saturday. The topic of conversation was the upcoming NFL Week 9 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Indianapolis Colts.
Smith vehemently criticized the Indianapolis Colts, stating that "they ain't worse than the Indianapolis Colts." He went on to call the team a "mess" and praised Pat McAfee for providing a positive contrast with his show on ESPN.
Smith highlighted the recent struggles of the Colts, pointing out their recent losses to the Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings, and Jacksonville Jaguars. He noted that the team has been involved in trade talks for players, most notably running back Jonathan Taylor, and implied that their future prospects are bleak.
The segment concluded with Smith directing his criticism towards team owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon. He argued that she should "clean house" and suggested that she should not be "sightingseeing" on the sidelines if she is not taking action to improve the team's performance.
