Stephen A. Smith Attributes Outstanding NFL Performance To The Late Charlie Kirk

On Tuesday's edition of ESPN's First Take, Stephen A. Smith described a football game that could not have occurred in our earthly realm. "We saw Charlie Kirk catch eight receptions for 144 yards," he said. It's possible that Smith saw this in a vision, but "we" did not: The right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September 2025. Also, I don't think he ever had the 40 time to do something like that.

Perhaps deskmate Jeff Saturday somehow witnessed this performance too, because he nodded and said "Yeah." First Take host Shae Cornette interjected with a crucial correction: "Christian Kirk," the Houston Texans wide receiver who did post those exact numbers in Monday's wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game that Smith attended in person for ESPN. "I apologize. Oh my God. Christian Kirk," Smith replied.
