ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith may be known for his humorous diatribes and larger-than-life presence on televisions across the country, but he can also be serious when the occasion demands it.
Take, for example, Wednesday's episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show. As a frequent critic of the Cowboys, Smith has been out in full force in the wake of Dallas’s 42–10 loss to the 49ers on Saturday. However, he dropped the act to discuss his respect for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his openness about his struggles with anxiety and depression.
