ESPN's outspoken personality, Stephen A. Smith, humorously compared the perceived annoyance of the Kansas City Chiefs to his own on-screen persona during a recent episode of "First Take." With Super Bowl LIX discussions in full swing, Smith's co-hosts questioned why the Chiefs and their star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, often draw ire from fans and analysts. Fellow analyst Dan Orlovsky pointed to their consistent winning as a key factor, a sentiment Smith playfully echoed.

Smith jokingly acknowledged his own reputation as a sometimes controversial figure, drawing laughter from the set. The lighthearted moment even prompted co-host Molly Qerim to have a spit-take, a reaction she described as unprecedented in her broadcasting career. Qerim, however, quickly affirmed her agreement with Smith's comparison, adding to the jovial atmosphere.

Underlying the humor, Smith alluded to the Chiefs' undeniable success. He highlighted their sustained dominance in the NFL, referencing their pursuit of a historic third consecutive Super Bowl victory. This pursuit puts them in a position to achieve a feat unmatched in North American professional sports since the Los Angeles Lakers' three-peat from 2000-2002.
