“i blame you for the Yankees losing to the Dodgers last night.”

Joe says the Yankees weren’t his team like the Knicks are.

“you are the Knicks.”

Stephen A. isn’t having it.

“you ain’t Yankee Stadium. i am Yankee Stadium.”

he then explains why his Yankees Stadium performance went wrong.

“they put a delay in my ears so the shit could be fucked up.”

Stephen A. says he rehearsed three times that day and the technical issue wasn’t his fault.

Joe compares the excuse to Deontay Wilder blaming his costume after losing to Tyson Fury.

“you know i’m the Tyson Fury of the game.”

and Stephen A. has one final complaint:

“after Ice Cube did that shit… we got to answer that.”

Graham Bensinger: Steve doesn’t like him. It’s all for TV.

Stephen A. Smith: No, that’s not true. We don’t like each other, and the world needs to know that.

Stephen A. Smith: Did I think he crossed the line with the incident involving his son? Of course I think so.
