Report: ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, Pat McAfee Engaged in Fiery Vulgar Argument

ESPN’s Pat McAfee and Stephen A. Smith, two of the sports network’s biggest television stars, recently engaged in an explosive argument over creative differences, according to a report from Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post.

Per Glasspiegel, McAfee called Smith a “motherf-----” after the two disagreed on the path of a project that Smith is working on through his own production company, Mr. SAS Productions, that will air on ESPN.

The argument got so heated, that Smith banned McAfee from appearing on his show, First Take, where McAfee had weekly Tuesday appearances scheduled during the football season.
