Some eagle-eyed viewers, including ones at ESPN doing their own show right now, have noticed that Stephen A. Smith, usually omnipresent on television, is fading into the background during this morning’s episode of First Take.
There’s a 99.9 percent chance this is just a result of a green screen mismatch.

And if that is, in fact, what’s going on, perhaps it’s time for someone’s cousin to put the phone up to the screen and share takes decades ahead of their time.
