Stephen A. began to explain why he hates the Cowboys and said he had a couple of “lady friends that were Cowboys fans.” But before he could continue the story Ryan Clark interrupted him with a joke and said, “They must have went to the White House” which caused everyone in the panel to burst out laughing.

“The White House” Clark was referring to was not the President’s house in Washington D.C. But he was referring to the infamous house in Dallas, where the 90’s Cowboys players allegedly had some wild parties.

Nonetheless, once everybody in the panel calmed down, Smith clarified that the Cowboys fanatic women he was dating were from New York and not from Dallas. It seems like a young Stephen A. Smith had his heart broken by a Cowboys fan and continues to hate that franchise because of it.
