The Stephen A. Smith Hottest Take Award

Adult stadium entertainment; more football movies; Nepo Ball

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:15:14Read transcript
  • Hot take: NFL stadiums should have adult-only areas with stripper entertainment, arguing that gambling and the sport's physical costs already make it adult-oriented; the proposal excludes putting performers in front of children.
  • Another hot take asks for more football movies, joking about a presidential initiative. A response argues that documentaries and greater knowledge of athletes have weakened older fictional archetypes, with Hustle as a modern example.
  • A proposed Nepo Ball movie follows a wealthy or connected bench player forced into meaningful minutes by injuries, raising nepotism questions. The pitch expands to a team of such players and possibly Bronny James, with Hoosiers' Ollie as an analogy.

  • More Black people: no, the ensemble is considered well represented.
  • Michael Jace is excluded from That Guy consideration.
  • Art LaFleur, the assistant coach compared with a heavier Ed O’Neill, is a candidate.
  • Brett Cullen is favored because he is recognized as Eddie Martel while his name and other roles are hard to recall.
  • Faizon Love is considered too recognizable as himself or Big Worm, though younger viewers may identify him with Elf.
