A Dallas Cowboys playoff loss is bound to bring out some highly vocal people online. Both from Cowboys fans who take it out on the keyboard, plus the Dallas haters.
Of course, when it comes to the latter, none are louder than ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith Rips Cowboys Fans in Viral Mockery of Dallas
As anticipated, Smith went after the Cowboys following their disappointing 48-32 loss to the seventh-seeded Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Smith is known for turning to his cell phone and X (formerly known as Twitter) account to troll the Cowboys. Once again, he turned his hand over to his face before letting out his evil laugh.
Smith laughed for seven seconds, then proceeded to go after Cowboy fans.
“You know, I thought about there was something a little extra. I really did. Because I said ‘You know something?’ I’ve been telling y’all man for what…28 straight years? Just wait, be patient…they (the Cowboys) won’t let you down,” Smith said. “But you weren’t listening.”
Smith continued his “I told you so” moment in describing the Dallas loss.
“I could go real, real deep, but First Take is tomorrow. Ain’t no holiday for me,” Smith said.
Long story short, Smith already has his ammunition for the next episode of the famed ESPN morning show, as he already has eviscerating Dallas in mind.

Smith’s fellow ESPN colleague, former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III, sent this message — he’s urging Dallas to make some drastic changes but turn to a former Super Bowl winner with the Cowboys.
“I hate calling for coach’s jobs, it’s not what I do, but it’s got to be the coach,” Griffin said. “A lot of people are saying you guys should go get Bill Belichick. But I know who you really need: Coach Prime [Deion Sanders]. That’s right, Coach Prime. He knows how to win in Dallas, he knows how to hold his guys accountable and he’s a culture changer.”
Finally, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was in a lamenting state with reporters after the loss.
“This seems like the most painful [playoff loss] because we all had such great expectation, and we had hope for this team,” Jones told reporters after the loss.
