About Stephen A. Smith of ESPN

I like Stephen A. Smith.

I think he is funny.

He embodies all the virtues of a non-Cowboy fan.

More from The Landry Hat

The more I watch him, the more I believe the currency of his bank account is made by the Dallas Cowboys organization.

The fabric of his hate is the same tool that pays his bills. No hate for Dallas equals no pay check.

He is a fan of hating – and gets paid for it – over a fan of loving his own team.

He’d rather sit on the visitor’s side with the rest of the Cowboys fans than sit on his home team’s bench. (Who does it he root for?)

If aliens were to one-day stop over Dallas, sucking up the entire Cowboys organization and players, Stephen A. Smith would be out of a job the next day.

He would call his family, in tears, lost, not knowing what career to choose.

What haters don’t understand is that the attention they give – positive or negative – actually feeds into the fact that the Cowboys are relevant.

Because of the Dallas Cowboys conversation, the NFL needs the star.

Literally.

The NFL logo is composed of stars.

Thank you very much.

We’ll keep that Americas Team sign too while we’re at it.
