Kansas City Will Hold Off Jacksonville At Arrowhead
Week 4 Results: 10-5
Record This Season: 35-28
Coming into Week 5 I’ve asked myself this question, how can this week’s games top last week’s games?
It’s a tough task given what transpired in Week 4. In Week 4 we had three overtime games including a crazy 45-42 shootout between the Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Browns.
Nine games were decided by seven points or less. Did I mention the homage shown to Dragon Ball Z with a fusion touchdown celebration in Oakland? You can’t make this stuff up.
We’ll go out on a limb and say that Week 5 will be decent. The week will be headlined by the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars showdown at Arrowhead.
Let’s also not forget that a NFC Championship rematch in Philly between the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings is also on the menu for football fans.
Before then, we’ll take a look at each matchup and who I think will come out on top. Here are my predictions for Week 5 of the 2018 NFL regular season.
*Drum roll please*
Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots
Want to remember the last time the Indianapolis Colts have beaten the New England Patriots? November 15th, 2009.
The infamous “4th and 2” game where Bill Belichick finally came to grips that his defense was no longer dominant as was the case in the early 2000s.
Peyton Manning and the Colts turned a Bill Belichick gamble into a 35-34 come-from-behind win at Lucas Oil Stadium. Since then, the Colts have gone 0-7 vs New England with Andrew Luck losing five of those games. That continues on Thursday night vs a Patriots defense that turns it on suddenly when playing at home.
Prediction: New England Patriots 35 Indianapolis Colts 20
Tennessee Titans at Buffalo Bills
The Tennessee Titans aren’t a dominant team by any stretch, and that may cost them even on Sunday vs a Buffalo Bills team that has the second worst point differential in the NFL at -56.
Leaning on the Titans to win this one means leaning on a team that appears comfortable playing in close games.
While that’s a scary aspect going on the road, the Titans are playing with a self-belief and swagger about themselves that seems to be a direct result of first-year head coach Mike Vrabel.
Prediction: Tennessee Titans 20 Buffalo Bills 14
Miami Dolphins at Cincinnati Bengals
The Miami Dolphins still showed they have a ways to go before catching the New England Patriots in the AFC East this past Sunday. In front of them is a Cincinnati Bengals team that’s likely excited to be back home.
Defensively, the Bengals have slipped, but the Miami Dolphins aren’t an offensive powerhouse and their offense has to prove it can score on the road. Look for Geno Atkins and company to bounce back with a solid defensive showing vs Miami.
Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens look like a team on a mission in 2018. The Ravens have a +58 point differential, 2nd in the NFL. They’ll be facing a Cleveland Browns team, albeit much improved, that they’ve gone 17-2 against with Joe Flacco under center.
The Browns offensive line will have trouble protecting Baker Mayfield in what could be a miserable day for the rookie.
Despite posting 34 TDs to 6 INTs with a 109.4 Passer Rating in his career vs the Detroit Lions, six of Rodgers’ 13 career wins vs Detroit have been decided by seven points or less.
Rodgers is still hobbled and not looking like himself as he’s coming off statistically his most inefficient game of the season. The positive?
Detroit’s defense is susceptible to getting burned off play action. Committing extra resources as they failed to slow down Ezekiel Elliot last week, they allowed one of the worst ranked pass offenses to have success against them.
Prediction: Green Bay Packers 28 Detroit Lions 20
Jacksonville Jaguars at Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs offense has looked ordinary over the past six quarters, scoring a grand total of 30 points. Patrick Mahomes passed his first true test vs a Denver Broncos team that looked determined to end his record-setting run.
It’s a completely different test he’ll face vs a stingy Jacksonville Jaguars defense allowing only 14.0 PPG and 259.3 yards per game, both 1st in the NFL. While it would seem unlikely that Kansas City lights up the scoreboard on Jacksonville, let’s not forget what a creative mind like Kyle Shanahan cooked up vs this defense last season.
The 49ers scored 37 offensive points in a 44-33 win in Week 16 last year vs the Jaguars and we’ve even seen the team give up their share of big plays when they faced the Steelers in the AFC Divisional Round last season. Don’t think a mad genius like Andy Reid’s got a plan to exploit this team as well?
Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs 31 Jacksonville Jaguars 20
Denver Broncos at New York Jets
Since winning in Week 1 48-17 at Ford Field vs the Detroit Lions, Gang Green has scored a grand total of 39 points (13 PPG). Sam Darnold is the least of New York’s problem’s, but an offense devoid of a real playmaker to open the offense up (Where has Robby Anderson gone this season?) is leading to anemic results for Todd Bowles’ team.
Denver is coming off a short week but they’re a team playing with a lot of confidence and swagger. Case Keenum finally throws a touchdown pass again after not throwing one in each of the past three weeks.
Prediction: Denver Broncos 24 New York Jets 8
Atlanta Falcons at Pittsburgh Steelers
Despite being heavily inconsistent, Pittsburgh’s offense can still be considered high-powered. Atlanta’s offense since Week 2 has been just that, averaging 34.6 PPG. The problem? Their defense due to a various number of injuries have turned into one of the NFL’s worst units.
Pittsburgh’s porous defense has led to the Steelers abandoning the run in two games this season. Given how much help that defense needs, don’t be surprised if an early emphasis is on running the ball no matter what the score indicates.
Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers 42 Atlanta Falcons 38
New York Giants at Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers have won their last seven home games at Bank of America Stadium. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner has not been shy about creating offensive gameplans designed to get running back Christian McCaffrey going.
In the Panthers three games this season McCaffrey has 68 total touches and just had a career-high 28 carries in a 31-21 Week 3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He’ll be licking his chops to face a Giants defense that was gashed by Alvin Kamara for 181 yards from scrimmage and 3 TDs in Week 4.
Prediction: Carolina Panthers 24 New York Giants 10
Oakland Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers haven’t been what we expected defensively but that’s not a surprise considering star defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) has not played yet to begin this season. The Chargers have the fourth fewest sacks in the NFL this season (8) a season after being tied for 5th in the NFL in sacks with 43.
The Oakland Raiders finally put together a fourth quarter not sullied by miscues and failures, but they still aren’t getting after the quarterback. The Raiders are tied for last in the NFL in sacks with 5, something that won’t get the job done vs a Chargers offense averaging 27.8 PPG.
Prediction: Los Angeles Chargers 34 Oakland Raiders 27
Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles
The Minnesota Vikings have far bigger issues to worry about then avenging a NFC Championship loss from last season vs the Philadelphia Eagles.
Minnesota has dropped two consecutive games that would’ve been three had linebacker Clay Matthews not been flagged for roughing the passer in a 29-29 tie back in Week 2 vs the Green Bay Packers.
Against Philly, the challenge is once again creating enough time for Kirk Cousins to deliver the ball with a clean pocket. That’s a challenge that doesn’t seem likely to be answered.
Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles 31. Minnesota Vikings 20
Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers
The David Johnson we’ve seen up until this point has been unrecognizable from what we saw in 2016. It’s hurting Arizona’s offense not having a reliant run game, particularly when you have a porous offensive line trying to protect a rookie quarterback.
Against San Francisco, it doesn’t matter who’s at quarterback, head coach Kyle Shanahan hits the right buttons. The 49ers came up short last week on the road but showed they’re a team that’s going to fight on even without starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo — who tore his ACL Week 3 — for the rest of the season.
Prediction: San Francisco 49ers 28 Arizona Cardinals 16
Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks defense exceeded expectations with a defense marking out as one of the best through the first month of the season. That defense is expected to take a hit with All-Pro safety Earl Thomas out for the rest of the season (leg).
It’s a rough spot for Wilson and the Seahawks having to return home to face arguably the best offense in the NFL in the Los Angeles Rams, who had 10 days prepare.
At the end of the day, Los Angeles has far too much firepower and ways to create points for Seattle to keep this close.
Prediction: Los Angeles Rams 37 Seattle Seahawks 24
Dallas Cowboys at Houston Texans
The Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans have truly moved in different directions at quarterback since the last time these two teams played.
Now at the helm are Dak Prescott and Deshaun Watson. Each with high hopes and big expectations. Watson seemingly has bigger ones these days considering who he’s throwing the ball to.
DeAndre Hopkins continues to be a model of consistency to begin 2018 as he has 30 receptions, 443 receiving yards and 2 TDs to begin the season. His excellent start continues vs a Cowboys defense that’s given up big plays over the past two weeks.
Prediction: Houston Texans 23 Dallas Cowboys 16
Washington Redskins at New Orleans Saints
If Washington’s defense wanted an opportunity to prove themselves as being elite, this is the type of game that serves as a barometer.
New Orleans scores and scores, especially at home. Drew Brees is 201 passing yards away from breaking Peyton Manning’s yardage mark and becoming the NFL’s all-time leading passer.
He’ll get that done vs a Redskins defense surrendering only 187.3 passing yards per game and give the Saints the win. Keep your eye on Michael Thomas’ matchup with Josh Norman in this one.
Prediction: New Orleans Saints 27 Washington Redskins 16

Plenty of Intrigue Heading Into Division Series Matchups
With ALDS and NLDS field set for October after the AL and NL Wildcard games, it’s prediction time!
On the NL side The Colorado Rockies will try to continue their upset trail by knocking out the NL’s top-seeded Milwaukee Brewers. That’ll be a tough task going up against NL MVP candidate Christian Yelich and soaring Brewers team.
The Los Angeles Dodgers getting to the postseason wasn’t a pretty adventure but the team got it done in 2018 and now get a young but hungry Braves team ready to make their mark.
On the AL side, familiar faces. Each of these four teams were in the ALDS last season but the matchups have changed.
The Houston Astros will try to stave off a Cleveland Indians team who’s built for success with their rotation and has one of the scariest offensive lineups in baseball.
The Boston Red Sox, meanwhile, have a date with the New York Yankees in the ALDS as it’s the first postseason matchup between the two stories franchises since 2004.
So who’s going to the advance to the Championship Series? Only one way to find out.
Let’s begin!
NLDS
Colorado Rockies vs Milwaukee Brewers

The Colorado Rockies got to the postseason on the strength of a high-scoring offense that finished second in the NL this past season, but they won for an entirely different reason in the NL Wildcard game.
Playing in third different time zone for a third consecutive day, the Colorado Rockies were led by a strong outing by left-hander Kyle Freeland and a shutdown effort by Scott Oberg and the bullpen.
Colorado Rockies’ catcher Tony Wolters played the role of unlikely hero as his RBI single with two outs in the 13th inning was the game-winning hit in a 2-1 victory.
The Rockies face a much more different challenge in the Milwaukee Brewers, who have won 24 out their past 32 games and won eight consecutive games.
Milwaukee went 51-30 at Miller Park this season, the best home mark in the NL this season. Milwaukee has a significant edge over Colorado if it comes down to the bullpens as evident by their 33-19 record in one-run games in 2018.
Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon and Trevor Story are a formidable trio of hitters capable of carrying an offense for extended stretches. With that said, they’ll be facing a team with the depth in arms as well as the depth in hitting to offset their impact in a short series.
Prediction: Milwaukee Brewers in 3
Atlanta Braves vs Los Angeles Dodgers

Brian Snitker’s Atlanta Braves were one of the highlights of the 2018 season. The Braves won the NL East this season, but enter as a team with the deck stacked against them.
Not only are the Braves the youngest team in the MLB playoffs, they also are going up against a Dodgers team that had the highest scoring offense in the NL this season.
While that offense is capable of disappearing due to their propensity to strikeout (8th in MLB), the Braves aren’t a team that relies on the strikeout to get hitters out.
The starting pitching matchups favor the Los Angeles Dodgers and so does the fact that Los Angeles has far more scoring prowess than the Braves, who went 21-26 vs LHP and will have to face three of them in the NLDS to begin the series.
Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers in 4
ALDS
Cleveland Indians vs Houston Astros

The Houston Astros title defense begins with a team that unlike the other two teams in the ALDS have the starting pitching to match the Astros in the Cleveland Indians.
The Indians will throw Corey Kluber, Trevor Bauer, Mike Clevinger and Carlos Carrasco at Houston. The problem for the Indians, however, is their bullpen.
No longer are the 1-2 punch of Cody Allen and Andrew Miller a dominant pairing late in games. Miller finished the season with a 4.24 ERA while former closer Cody Allen finished with a 4.70 ERA this season and lost his job to left-hander Brad Hand.
The problems extend beyond Miller and Allen. Against a team that has a flare for the dramatic late in games. The Houston Astros finished 4th in the MLB in runs scored from the eighth inning on (190).
The Cleveland Indians finished 26th in the MLB in runs allowed from the eighth inning on (171). This is all to say that when we get past the great pitching matchups, this may be the key factor in a close series.
The Cleveland Indians offense that finished 3rd in the MLB in runs scored (818) is potent and scary, that alone makes this series worth the price of admission.
Prediction: Houston Astros in 5
New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images
We see them on our television screens for what seems like 95% of the nationally televised games each season, and now we get quite a treat in what is likely to be remembered as the premier matchup of the MLB postseason.
The Boston Red Sox are statistically the best offensive team in the MLB as they led the MLB in runs with 876 during the regular-season. They led the MLB in batting average (.268), extra base-hits (594), SLG (.453) and OPS (.792).
Those are a enough reasons as to why Boston will hand their bitter rivals a bitter ALDS series defeat, but why should we be pessimistic?
The Boston Red Sox rotation for a third consecutive postseason is question mark. Now arguably the best left-hander in all of baseball, Chris Sale, is apart of those question marks that include a rotation that finished as Sale looked unlike himself mechanically in a playoff tuneup vs the Baltimore Orioles last week.
Sale’s fastball velocity was noticeably low, sitting at 90 MPH for four plus innings vs the Orioles. That’s a worrying concern for Boston as the Game 1 starter for this series and the undisputed ace of the staff has mechanical issues ahead of facing the Bombers.
The New York Yankees shattered the 2001 Seattle Mariners home run record in 2018 with 267 and there’s the very realistic possibility that New York’s offense can make Fenway Park look smaller than other teams can.
Also in their favor is a decided edge over Boston when it comes to the bullpens. New York’s reliability and dependability in its bullpen has provided them with a winning formula that can mask its deficiencies in starting pitching.
The question becomes for New York, can your starting rotation produce enough to not burn through the bullpen? Considering it’s a short series, the answer is yes.
Prediction: New York Yankees in 5
What are your thoughts on the Division Series matchups this postseason? Leave your comments below!
This is the crossover episode “American Horror Story” fans have been waiting for. The fourth episode of “Apocalypse” is, not counting the opening sequence, told in flashbacks, with half focusing on Langdon’s rise to power, and the other half catching audiences up on what the Coven has been up to since the end of Season 3.
The episode starts with Langdon (Cody Fern) talking with the robotic Ms. Mead (Kathy Bates) about the woman he based her on — a Satanic worshipper who took a young Langdon in.
As Mead proclaims her allegiance to Langdon, the witches, Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts) and Myrtle Snow (Frances Conroy) talk with the newly revived Coco (Leslie Grossman), Mallory (Billie Lourd) and Dinah (Adina Porter).

Mrytle tells Mallory she’s under an identity spell, so she can’t remember her past, and that she’s basically a female Harry Potter. Langdon and Mead come down the stairs and he tells the witches they’ll wish they were still dead.
After that, the rest of the episode takes place three years before the bombs were dropped.
The J.K. Rowling parallels get even more apparant as before the bombs, Outpost was an all males warlock school called Hawthorne. It’s basically Hogwarts, with John Moore (Cheyenne Jackson in his fourth season of “AHS) essentially being young Dumbledore. Who needs “Fantastic Beasts 2” when they’ve got this?
Moore and the other warlock teachers watch security footage of a short-haired Langdon, going full “Matilda” on the detective interrogating him, telepathically killing him. The quartet of Warlocks contemplate if they should have Langdon become “Alpha 4”, the male equivilent of the witches’ Surpeme.

Langdon gets visited by one of the teachers (let’s call him Hagrid) who tells him he’s a warlock and takes him to Hawthorne School. With the short blonde hair and boyish bewilderment (like Harry exploring Hogwarts in “Sorcerer’s Stone”), Langdon is really seeming like the son of “Murder House’s” Tate. Random shots of him had me momentarily thinking I was watching Evan Peters instead of Cody Fern.
Langdon performs tests for the four warlock teachers and proves he can basically do anything. He can levitate, telaport, reach into a mirror and pull out anything he wants and control the weather. Those seem to be all of the qualifications one would need to start the apocalypse. Young Dumbledore, Hagrid and the other two teachers decide they need to have Langdon attempt to perform the Seven Wonders (from “Coven” and Fleetwood Mac) to see if he’s the Supreme.
And with that, we’re into the Coven half of the episode! At the end of “Coven”, the new Supreme Cordelia announced to the world that witches were real and young witches started flooding to Miss Robichaux’s Academy. Season 3’s Zoe (Taissa Farmiga) is now teaching at the New Orleans Academy and notices Mallory also has above average abilities. As Cordelia and Zoe discuss this, Mrytle tells them a council has been called at the Hawthorne School.
Zoe has a newfound confidence in this episode that Farmiga has never shown on this show before. It’s nice to see her switching it up, after playing almost exclusively the young, lovesick teenager.
The Coven go to what will become Outpost and meet with young Dumbledore and the other warlocks. They discuss gender politics, race relations and the fate of the other witches from Season 3. Cordelia says she won’t administer the Seven Wonders on Langdon after losing Misty Day to it and talks about the fate of Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe).
Queenie has been stuck in the Hotel Cortez since her cameo is the fifth season, “Hotel.” Similarly to “Murder House” all the souls who have died in the hotel are stuck there forever. She’s playing cards with James Patrick March (Evan Peters’ character in “Hotel”, based on infamous murderere H.H. Holmes) when Cordelia comes to attempt a rescue. She tries to bring her out every door and window, but not even Cordelia’s powers can get Queenie out of the hotel.
Cordelia’s lisp really comes out when she cries, and I’m loving it. Also, the Hotel Cortez sounds much more ominious and scary as Cordelia describes it than it did in all of Season 5.
Langdon decides to travel to the Hotel Cortez and, by his side, Queenie is able to escape. He brings her with him to Hell to find Madison Montgomery, who was killed by another Evan Peters character in “Coven.”

In “AHS” Hell is personalized for everyone. Former movie-star-turned-witch Madison’s personal Hell is working customer service at a Bed, Bath and Beyond where she’s mistaken for Lindsay Lohan. She’s prodded by her manager and told to go fold towels, where Landgon and Queenie find her and somehow bring her back to Earth.
Madison and Queenie’s interactions are great and seem straight out of “Coven” with Madison pretending to be happy to see her, and Queenie saying she told Langdon that Madison was exactly where she belonged in Hell.
Cordelia tells the council that she’s not administering the Seven Wonders and the coven walk out. There’s something endlessly satisfying about watching these three high-fashion witches strut around in slow motion as its set to music.
When they walk out of the underground school, they’re greeted by Langdon, with Madison and Queenie by his side. Cordelia faints at the sight of her revived students and the episode ends.
“Could It Be … Satan?” was by far the best episode of “Apocalypse” so far, and it’s one of the few episodes throughout the eight seasons that managed to organically tie the anthology stories together. Watching a young, inexperienced Langdon really underscored that he’s Tate’s son, which made his section of the episode feel like a “Murder House” sequel, while the latter half felt like a genuine “Coven” part 2 with a “Hotel” crossover. We’re usually lucky to get a reference to another season about once a year, but interconnecting three within one episode made for an amazing hour of television.
The trailer for next week’s “AHS” teases Cordelia’s vision of the apocalypse and seems like it will once again mostly be a flashback. I’m totally fine with that, because I found this week’s episode to be infinitely better than anything involving the survivors at Outpost.
Yankees Win AL Wildcard Game For Second Consecutive Season
Looking past the challenge that stood in front of them wasn’t an option for Aaron Boone’s Yankees.
Leaning on what got them here, they’ll be playing on in October in pursuit of a 28th world title.
The New York Yankees defeated the Oakland Athletics 7-2 on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium to advance to the ALDS.
The New York Yankees finished the regular-season 100-62, but a 100 win season would’ve been all for naught had the pinstripers allowed the underdog Athletics to take over New York tonight.
Behind their high-scoring power hitting offense and power pitching out of the bullpen, the New York Yankees for a second consecutive season won an AL Wildcard game in the Bronx.
Aaron Judge would hit a two-run home run off reliever Liam Hendricks to give the New York Yankees a 2-0 lead in the first inning.
Judge’s no doubter would shake an already electric atmosphere at Yankee Stadium to its core and give starter Luis Severino breathing room to begin.
Severino — who has a disastrous AL Wildcard game start last season vs the Minnesota Twins — bounced back in a second go in the Yankees do-or-die affair to begin the postseason.
Severino would allow only two base runners over the first three innings, striking out six in that span.
He would escape a bases loaded jam in the fourth inning after striking out shortstop Marcus Seiman to end the inning, causing Yankee Stadium to explode as New York preserved a 2-0 lead.
The Yankees 24 year-old starter would be relieved in the fifth inning by right-hander Dellin Betances after giving up a pair of singles to begin the inning.
The Yankees big right-hander would come in and do the job for the Yankees, retiring the Athletics next three batters which included a strikeout of MLB home run king Khris Davis to end the inning.
Bob Melvin, who went with a unconventional approach of starting a reliever in Liam Hendricks, would see his team run into trouble in the sixth inning.
The Yankees would breakthrough with four runs in the sixth inning as rookie first baseman Luke Voit, playing in his first career playoff game, highlighted the inning with a two-run RBI triple off closer Blake Treinen that scored Aaron Hicks and Giancarlo Stanton to make it a 6-0 game.
Giancarlo Stanton, also playing in his first career playoff game, would continue to bring thunder to Yankee Stadium with a homer off Blake Treinen in the eighth inning to make it a 7-2 game.
New York Yankees’ reliever Zach Britton would cough up two runs on a two-run homer to designated hitter Khris Davis to put the Athletics on the board, but that would be all for Oakland on the night.
Little offensive production could be found for an Athletics team that throughout the second half of the season continuously found a way to win.
Aroldis Chapman would come in and get the final three outs of the ninth inning, giving up a hit while striking out two as the Yankees clinched a ALDS birth.
The Yankees bullpen sans Zach Britton would allow only one base runner over four innings while striking out five.
The Oakland Athletics finished the game 0-for-6 with RISP while leaving nine men on base as they saw their season come to an end.
The Oakland Athletics season was a Cinderella that saw them rise from the bottom of the division to at one point in mid-August tie the defending champion Houston Astros for first in the AL West.
A team that was 34-36 on June 15th would finish the season 63-29, the best mark in the MLB. That’s an even better mark than the Boston Red Sox, who finished the season with a franchise record and MLB-leading 108 wins.
While a disappointing finish, 2019 offers yet another opportunity for a team that fell on hard times over the previous three seasons to continue a winning foundation built in 2018.
For the New York Yankees, a matchup with their hated rival Boston Red Sox in the ALDS needs little explanation when discussing the magnitude of the series.
If the ‘We Want Boston’ chants from the Yankees faithful tonight throughout the later part of the game doesn’t illustrate the significance this rivalry has taken on once again, little will.
These are two franchises with new faces but the same dislike for each other that’s existed for well over 100 years.
This will be the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox first playoff matchup since the 2004 ALCS where the Boston Red Sox improbably erased a 0-3 series deficit vs New York to stun the baseball world by winning the series in seven games.
The New York Yankees are steaming about losing the AL East to the Boston Red Sox and will look to play giant killer by eliminating Red Sox who finished with the MLB’s best mark at 108-54.

Katt Williams has reacted to Kevin Hart’s recent Breakfast Club interview.
While he didn’t respond to Hart’s exact claims regarding drug use, he did make it clear that things could get physical the next time they see each other.
After calling Hart a “f*ck a*s ni**a,” on Instagram Live, Williams said that the Night School actor pays Los Angeles gang members for protection. Even so, that won’t stop him from going at it with Hart.
“I was just in the gym and I’m headed to Mayweather’s. I’mma knock your motherf*cking mouth sideways, f*ckboy. I ain’t Stephen A. Smith, I’m really out in these motherf*cking streets, my ni**a.”
Smith and Hart got into a friendly debate over Philadelphia sports teams on ESPN’s First Take.
That’s when William then took shots at Hart’s web series, Cold As Balls.
Ain’t nobody concerned you keep going in cold, cold freezing water with other ni**as in they draws,” said Williams.
