Stephen A. Smith, Sports Television Personality
Another Steelers fan is ESPN personality, Stephen A. Smith. Smith started his career as a sports journalist but now is a talk show host and personality as the star of ESPN’s First Take. He is known for his argumentative nature and willingness to make hot takes that spark debates.
While many know Smith as a Cowboys hater, he is also a huge Steelers fan. He frequently talks about the team on his show when they discuss the NFL, and he even tweets about the team often. Prior to the Browns acquiring Deshaun Watson, Smith even pleaded for the Steelers to trade for him.
Yo @steelers. If there is a way — anyway damnit — to get your hands on @deshaunwatson, could you exhaust every option to do this. Please! Please! Please! With Sugar on top. Pretty please. Yes! I’m begging!!!

Despite being from the Bronx, Smith still remains a dedicated member of Steeler Nation. While he stuck with his hometown teams for baseball and basketball, Steeler Nation welcomes Smith with open arms.
