Stephen A. Smith has had his fair share of battles with athletes, and another one has resurfaced.
NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens replied to the "First Take" hosts latest comments surrounding the ouster of Max Kellerman, with Owens taking the side of Smith's ex-debate partner.
Owens simply tweeted "FACTS!!!!!!!!!" on Sept. 15 while quoting another tweet that linked to his appearance on "First Take" in 2019 when Kellerman was still on the show with Smith.
"Max almost seems Blacker than you, Stephen A," the six-time Pro Bowler said.
Owens was provoked to tweet after Smith previously responded to a tweet that said he did not like Max Kellerman.
"Same question, Same answer for damn-near two years now: Max & I weren’t working in the end. I wanted to win. So I didn’t want that duo. Does mean he’s isn’t smart, talented and that he’s not a good guy. I have nothing against him. I wish him well. Just needed a change. That’s all," Smith said.

Smith responded to Owens' tweet by saying that his issue with him was completely separate with what happened with Kellerman. He claims he knows something about Owens, and seemed to insinuate that he has done some negative things to other Black men.
Now….as for this dude, that’s an entirely different story. You know how I feel about your sorry ass @terrellowens and you know why! You should thank your Heavenly Father I haven’t zeroed in on you with the trifling shit you tried to pull. Tell folks to ask ESPN what your… https://t.co/MIROwzBdTU

He followed up and said that he may decide to let out some of the information he knows about Owens on "The Stephen A. Smith" show on Sept. 18.
Or…….maybe I’ll just dedicate the entire Stephen A. Smith Show/Podcast on YouTube this Monday to all the things you tried to do behind the scenes — to BROTHERS — over the years while claiming someone is more of a Brother than others. Let me thing about that over the next 24… https://t.co/MIROwzBdTU

Owens responded by telling Smith not to "stand down" and to "keep that same energy" when the two see each other next.
"You see I’m not intimidated by you because you have a platform and a loud mouth to claim that that you’re going to allegedly expose me about something . It seems to me that you’re the one being exposed. Please EXPOSE ME! Let us know what you got. I, along with everyone else will be waiting."
Don’t stand down now!!! I’ll be sorry and pathetic, be sure to keep that same energy when you see me next time.

Owens sent out a few more tweets where he said he's "not afraid" of what Smith might say and that he's waiting to see what Smith says in order to "increase the ratings on his show."
I can’t wait to hear what he’s going to expose me about. We’ll be waiting. Anything to get the people to tune into and increase the ratings on his show but I’m here for it. Hey Stevie, when it’s all said and done and you open up your mouth with the annoying overuse of vocabulary… https://t.co/1ovrnI96id
