VIDEO: Stephen A. Smith Bizarrely Suggests Colin Kaepernick Doesn't Actually Want an NFL Return

Stephen A. Smith is a highly-paid hot take machine. This is known. What is also known is that the ESPN loudmouth has never, ever hesitated to pontificate about the biggest topics in sports even when his knowledge base is barer than a cupboard from the Great Depression. The latest evidence of this teeth-gnashingly unfortunate fact? His Saturday night riff on Colin Kaepernick's NFL workout in Georgia. Staring directly into his camera, Stephen A. insisted that Kap doesn't actually want to play football at all.

This is conspiracy theory stuff, big man. You really went there. You really, really did.

Is Kaepernick conspiring with the Deep State? Does he have text message exchanges with Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that we'll learn about at a later date? Seriously, if the QB who was infamously blackballed from the NFL went to all this trouble to make it look like he wanted to return to the league despite not actually wanting too, well, we may have to question literally everything that we know.

Of course, consider the source. It may well be that Stephen A. Smith doesn't actually believe a single bit of his apparent thesis here. This is merely part of the ongoing quest for ratings, after all. Integrity is never priority No. 1, is it?
