'Vomit!' Stephen A. Smith Roots For Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl vs. 'Chunky' Soup
Hell ... or at least the clam chowder pop ... has frozen over.
Facing such a culinary catastrophe is apparently what it'll take for notorious Dallas Cowboys critic Stephen A. Smith to pull for the Pokes on a championship quest. The X account of Lakers Lead, an online fan page for supporters of the Los Angeles Lakers, asked Smith whether he'd prefer sampling the New England clam chowder edition of Campbell's Chunky Soup molded into a popsicle or seeing America's Team hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy on his web series' popular Q&A portion.
Perhaps surprisingly, Smith opted for the latter nightmare.
"I've got to admit to you, I'd rather watch the Cowboys win a Super Bowl...that just looks nasty," Smith declared. "I'm not knocking Chunky because I like Chunky soup, like chicken noodle soup, other stuff ... But this right here, looks like someone vomited and just froze the damn thing and turned it something that looks like clam chowder on a stick."
"I'm not feeling that at all. I would rather use the Cowboys to win a Super Bowl."
Occasions where the Cowboys end up on the wrong side of the scoreboard have doubled as national holidays for Smith, who has used his high-profile platforms to offer animated anti-Dallas diatribes. The Cowboys' active postseason futility, as the franchise is nearing three decades without a championship, has only fueled Smith's outbursts, as has a relatively quiet offseason.
That, however, isn't enough to force Smith to opt for the frozen white soup ... though he hinted that there could be a sense of compassion for the Cowboys mixed with his usual brand of schadenfreude.
"It would annoy me to no end but I've gotten to the point where, damn it's 29 straight years," Smith said of the Cowboys' drought. "It's become so bad for the Cowboys, I'm starting to feel sorry for them."
