Snoop Dogg mercilessly roasts Stephen A. Smith for his flop first pitch at Yankee stadium

Stephen A. Smith is the butt of ESPN's jokes after footage of him throwing out the first pitch at a New York Yankees game went viral. Smith's throwing form led to social media trolling him and spilled over onto a recent episode of ESPN's First Take.

During a video call on the show, Hip Hop superstar Snoop Dogg, who has a reported net worth of $160 million, ripped into the ESPN anchor, asking co-host Molly Qerim to help Smith throw a baseball.

"Stephen A. Smith, you ought to be ashamed of yourself for that pitch," Snoop Dogg said.
"There's not one athletic bone in your body by the looks of that pitch. That looked more like a bounce pass in basketball. You need some help, brother. Molly, can you help him? Somebody?"

Smith, 55, clearly found the funny side of things, as he was seen laughing throughout Snoop Dogg's message.

Nevertheless, Smith won't quickly live down his hilarious throw despite his advancing age. However, Smith's poor opening pitch didn't appear to jinx the Yankees, as they secured a 5-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. They're now 77-76 record in what has been a disappointing season.


Stephen A. Smith once threatened to walk away from his $12 million ESPN contract

Stephen A. Smith is arguably the biggest sports anchor in the world right now and is in a position to get trolled for poor throws at baseball games, but things almost turned out differently.

On "The Joe Budden Podcast," Smith revealed how he offered to walk away from his $12 million ESPN contract had the network not removed Max Kellerman from First Take.

"It wasn't going this way (points up)," Smith said. "It was just there. ... I had mad respect for him from the standpoint of white dude, highly intelligent, Ivy League-educated from Columbia. Smart as a whip.
"Can talk his ass off. Can talk about anything. I get all that. But you weren't an athlete, and you weren't a journalist. And the absence of the two components left people wondering 'why should we listen to you?'"

Smith said regarding Kellerman's tenure with First Take, which at the time was stagnating in the ratings among all age groups.

"I didn't have the authority to let him go. ... I said 'look, if he's that important to you, give him First Take, I'll leave.'
"Two hours later, I got the call, 'we're making a change.' But it wasn't a firing, because what happened was, 'you got your own radio show, and got your own afternoon show.'"

Since Kellerman was removed from the show, First Take has continued to grow and is now seen as America's flagship sports debate show. However, if Stephen A. Smith continues to throw laughable pitches, his credentials may come under scrutiny in the near future.
