An ESPN analyst is at war with the Washington Redskins
Another day, another Stephen A. Smith rant.
The ESPN analyst is notorious for his strong opinions and popular hot takes. But in a recent televised tirade, Smith screamed for nearly three minutes as he criticized the Washington Redskins for the arrogance he says they displayed by saying they would win their division this season.
It all stemmed from a video of an excited Chris Baker after the Redskins beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
"Y'all forgot who the real champs of the NFC East is," Baker yelled.

Despite the Cowboys' lead this season, the Redskins do currently hold the NFC East title. But Smith exploded on First Take when he caught wind of the linebacker's "boastful" comments.
Watch his rant here:
