Smith appeared for the coverage in a pink suit alongside Ryan Clark, who had a purple suit on. A caller named Richie from Long Island offered his take on the dressing of the two analysts, noting it looked like a scene from the Barbie movie. The analyst responded with a bold take.

“I’m 57, walking around with 12 to 13% body fat; I think I look pretty damn good,” Smith said. “So there's nothing that you nor anybody else can say to me to shake my damn confidence because I know when I've looked bad, I know when I've looked troubled, trust me.

“And in terms of my wardrobe, I gotta tell you something right now. There are many times somebody might say something here or there, whatever, but this is a very cocky thing to say, but I'll say it to you since you called up and started this conversation, Richie. I think I'm the best-dressed dude in sports. I really do.”
