Stephen A. Smith tells Caleb Williams to ‘stand down’ against Troy Aikman

"There’s nobody more qualified than Troy Aikman to be talking about the quarterback position in the National Football League"

"It sounded like from that game the other night, a few people weren't particularly pleased with how we are winning right now."

"...when I thought I heard I needed to make some changes, and not a question, I didn’t take that so well."

"For Ben Johnson not to take that microphone and slam it on the ground, it's a real credit to him."

“I don’t know, you think so?”

"I used to think, 'I am gonna kill this guy.'"

"There's not going to be any trade secrets that are exchanged. I just really don't think it's that big of a deal to be honest with you."

"I don't think this marriage is going to work."

"Johnson seems to have at least one ally in the media room."

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said just the right things when Colin Cowherd asked about ESPN's incredible Caleb Williams story.

"Chicago Bears versus New England Patriots. Who are you rooting for?"

"Alex Guerrero is out there. He's going to be working with some of the players."

When prompted to discuss the Lions' OC, Brady went silent.

"I think the reality of it is that a lot of the analysts are absolutely not neutral observers."

"He's involved. He's Tom Brady!"

Will Brady be willing to criticize the Lions offense if need be? And what sort of access might this week afford him?

"Freaking GENIUS."

"League sources" are not happy with Ben Johnson.

'Is it true, or is it just face-saving by the Commanders, who had been linked so closely to Ben Johnson?'

This marks two major reports in two years out of D.C. that Esiason got wrong.
