A very special podcast guest today as Stephen A. Smith joins Chris and Kyle! The episode was recorded live at the Sportico stage at the Four Seasons in downtown Austin, Texas for South by Southwest. Stephen A. Smith covered many topics including his media career, maintaining a relationship with athletes, Bill Belichick's future, professional athletes in media and Stephen A. Smith's Dallas Cowboys non-fandom. We even have a special appearance from former Chicago Bear (and Kyle Long teammate) Brandon Marshall when the topic of Jay Cutler is brought up.
