Stephen A. Smith has never been shy about giving his take.
The star of ESPN's "First Take" was spared from the network's latest round of layoffs, but some of his colleagues weren't so lucky. That includes Ryan Clark, the former NFL safety who was a regular guest on "First Take" and a prominent figure in ESPN's NFL coverage.
It was news that came as a shock to most, including Smith, who voiced his displeasure with the company's decision on his YouTube channel on July 21.
"It hurts. It really does," Smith said. "I understand the business. I understand layoffs come. I understand that there have been other names that have been a part of it in the past and there's going to be names in the future. ***** , one of them might be mine."
Smith referred to Clark on multiple occasions as someone he considers to be "arguably the best NFL ***** yst in America."
