No. Stephen A Smith is not guest starring on this show, but he does play a major part in this episode. Because, after Skip Bayless's idiotic comments, ESPN's Stephen A Smith came forward and shared a personal story on the mental battles he has faced in his life. While ESPN may not always talk about hockey, I feel as though it's important that we talk about them in this instance. I found Smith's story very relatable and touching. There's more in store for this topic.
