Molly Qerim is used to being showered with compliments on First Take pretty much during every episode. She is an insanely gorgeous woman whose outfits are always eyebrow-raising.
The ESPN host was compared to a “president’s wife” by colleagues Stephen A. Smith and Marcus Spears on the latest edition of the show.
Molly and Stephen A. were finally back inside ESPN studios in Manhattan after broadcasting from the West Coast earlier this week. They were joined by Spears and Chris “Mad Dog” Russo to discuss all things sports.
At one point, the conversation shifted to Molly’s looks.
After Qerim asked which one, Stephen A. was quick to enter the conversation to make things awkward.
“It ain’t Barack Obama. There’s only one. There’s only one, that’s Michelle,” Smith said. “I would say, to answer the question, to honestly answer the question, I mean, we could go back to JFK, we could go to Ronald Reagan. JFK, Ronald Reagan.”
“You look like a president’s wife.”

“I’m sorry to say this,” Smith continued as he sat up in his chair. “Don’t take this wrong, Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. I’m just telling you. I gave you three…I gave you JFK, but, Bill Clinton too.”
That is when Molly finally had enough and wanted to sign off on the show.
“It’s time for you to leave,” Qerim said as she rolled her eyes at the suggestion of Bill Clinton. “He always has to go too far.”
Qerim would swiftly move the show onto its next segment, discussing the San Francisco 49ers showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
For that game, the Philadelphia Eagles are 10-1 while the San Francisco 49ers come into Lincoln Financial Field with an 8-3 record. This game has huge playoff implications for whichever team wins and loses.
REPORT: Jeff Bezos Emerges As The New Favorite To Purchase One Of The NFL’s Most Valuable Franchises

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has emerged as the new front-runner to purchase one of the NFL’s most valuable franchises.
You may recall that Jeff Bezos had interest in purchasing the Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder, but they wound up selling the franchise to the Josh Harris-led group for $6.05 billion.
There have also been rumors about Bezos potentially buying the Seattle Seahawks. Since Paul Allen’s passing in 2018, the team has been run by his sister, Jody Allen.
Speculation is growing about New York Jets owner Woody Johnson potentially selling the team as the Jets finish out another disastrous season. The Jets entered 2024 with Super Bowl expectations, but Aaron Rodgers and company have been a giant disappointment with a 3-8 record.
According to Bovada, Jeff Bezos is now the betting favorite to purchase the Jets from Johnson and take over as their next owner. Johnson has owned the football organization since 2000.
Regarded as one of the NFL’s worst owners, Johnson fired head coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas just six weeks apart mid-season. It has also been reported that he lobbied for the Jets to bench Rodgers.
The Jets haven’t made the postseason since 2010, the longest active drought among NFL teams. They haven’t had a winning season since 2015 and are on their way to finishing with double-digit losses for the fifth consecutive year.
