Stephen A Smith has addressed the rumors claiming he has something going on with ‘First Take’ co-host Molly Qerim.

The two have been the subject of dating rumors for a while now, though there’s no evidence to support such a theory. But Chris “Mad Dog” Russo would joke about them getting married as they both showed up to the show wearing white on Wednesday.

“Who said ‘I do’ first between the two of you,” Russo quipped during the ESPN show.

“Who said ‘I don’t?‘” Qerim shot back.

She would go on to compliment Smith on his outfit, and he returned it before taking some time to speak about the rumors.

“No. There’s nothing going on. You understand?” he remarked. “America’s been lying about that for years.”

“You know what’s the funniest part? Is people actually believe it,” Qerim cut in.

Russo claimed that people ask him about it all the time.

After Chris Russo jokes that Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim look like they got married, the First Take co-hosts address social media rumors they’re dating.

Stephen A Smith Takes The Rumors As A Compliment

Stephen A Smith did have a positive spin on the rumors, explaining that they’ve come about as complimentary given they suggest that they both look good and have good taste.

“Here’s the upside to all of that: they know my taste. So therefore they know that it’s a compliment to her,” he added.

“And obviously she has great taste as well, so I guess that’s America’s way of saying we both really really look good. That’s why you can do that. Because they lie all the time, they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.”

The rumors go back to 2021, when Qerim and her former husband Jalen Rose split up. It was even suggested that the colleagues had engaged in an affair which led to the split.

Molly has previously gone on record to deny the accusations. Now, Stephen A. has as well.

Social Media Detectives Noticed Something Very Strange About The Blood On Aaron Rodgers’ Hand During ‘Monday Night Football’

Aaron Rodgers was spotted with something odd on his hand while he sat on the New York Jets’ bench during their loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday.

The ‘Monday Night Football’ fixture pitted the veteran quarterback against the team that ended his season on the first drive of his Jets career back in 2023. While he took some hefty hits, he managed to escape unscathed this time around, except for what must have been a small cut on his left hand.

Rodgers was seen sulking on the sideline when it appeared that there was no coming back late in the fourth quarter. Folks on social media noticed that there was an L-shaped blood spot on his hand, which they found to be quite fitting, given that the 23-20 result did not go in his favor.

“It appears Aaron Rodgers has a blood stained “L” imprinted on his wrist- sorry Jets fans, that’s a sign. This season is over,” Emmanuel Acho wrote.
