Stephen A. Smith was immediately mocked by fans across social media on Monday night when he made a brief appearance before the start of Ravens vs. Chargers.
The First Take host joined Jason Kelce and Scott van Pelt in the final moments before the start of the game, dressed in cap with purple sunglasses and his cap on backwards.
And football fans wasted no time taking to social media to offer some merciless opinions on his style.
‘Stephen A Smith having a mid life crisis live on MNF with his outfit,’ said one fan about the 57-year-old.
Another said: ‘Stephen A. Smith out here looking like the Steve Buscemi meme in real life.’
A different viewer wrote: ‘Stephen A smith, trying to look like an 80’s rapper tonight.’

Fans compared the First Take host’s appearance to the viral Steve Buscemi meme
But it wasn’t all bad for Smith, with one NFL fan writing on X: ‘Why is Stephen A Smith dressed up like he’s about to drop an absolute banger of an 90s R&B album?’
Multiple fans said that Smith looked like a policeman, saying: Stephen A. Smith dressed like an undercover cop.’
Smith was in Los Angeles for Monday night’s huge showdown between the Ravens and Chargers at SoFi Stadium – with the Harbaugh brothers going up against each other in the NFL.
‘I’ve got the Baltimore Ravens,’ Smith said. ‘They are undefeated when Derrick Henry runs for more than 90 yards. You give the ball to Derrick Henry. You use Jim Harbaugh’s strategy against them. You run the ball, all day every day.’
Earlier on Monday, Smith tore into the Democrats for their election defeat to Donald Trump during an appearance on the latest episode of Club Random.
‘You know more politics than me, but a blind man can see the Democrats got their a** kicked,’ he said.
‘Trump’s been the Republican nominee since 2016,’ he added. ‘It is clear that is who conservatives want in the White House. That’s who they supported.
‘They didn’t give a damn about the 34 indictments. They didn’t give a damn about two impeachments. They didn’t give a damn about all the legal issues and all the lawfare that the Democrats engaged in. They said: ”Joe, that’s who we want.”’
