Hill learns from Smith that his message was misunderstood by the recipient. Smith emphasised that he wanted to convey that because Tua is an All-Pro receiver and can catch the shortest throw to the house, Hill’s performance almost makes it difficult to declare Tua the MVP. Smith said that Hill shouldn’t imply otherwise because he does indeed watch every game.
Stephen A. Smith remarked on ESPN First Take, “I’m watching all the games on my seven TVs in my big room.” Tyreek Hill, please be careful with your language if you want to say I didn’t watch the games. You are speaking without knowledge.
