ESPN’s Stephen A Smith teased a massive announcement during his appearance on ‘First Take’ this Monday, telling the rest of the panel and viewers that he had a significant update to drop this coming Wednesday.
Smith, the longtime host of said show, has branched out in recent times, launching his own podcast, and recently secured a reported $100 million deal from The Worldwide Leader in Sports.
It appears he’s set for something big yet again, as he revealed on Monday that he had an important announcement but couldn’t make it until Wednesday.
“This Wednesday, in terms of the money and all that other stuff, I do have a very important announcement to make, but I have to wait until Wednesday,” he said.
“It don’t stop, the train don’t stop,” he added.
