On a recent episode of ESPN First Take, Stephen A. Smith discussed a conversation that he had with Diab, a daytime radio host on NYC WQHT radio station, Hot 97.
“Yesterday I did an appearance on WBLS in New York, teasing the show that we’re about to have for HBCU week in Delaware State next week Friday and I had the pleasure of running into the lovely girlfriend, the lovely lady of Mr. Colin Kaepernick,” Stephen A. Smith told ESPN First Take Host, Rosalyn Gold Onwude.
“Nessa, I think her last name is Diab, I think it’s pronounced Diab. If I mispronounced her name, I apologize. First thing I want to say is that she’s incredibly classy and respectful, her and her entire team. No offense to them approaching me. But they wanted to correct some things for the record; she specifically. She said that Colin Kaepernick has never been offered a job; not by Miami, not by Baltimore, not by Denver, not by Seattle. She said that Colin Kaepernick has not reached an agreement where he’s prohibited from or not wanting to play in the National Football League any longer.” Smith stated.
“He is still training every single day, he is ready to go. He would love a phone call, he would love to be in the National Football League and any assertion to the contrary is patently false. So those were the two points that she wanted to make sure that she made. She obviously, respectfully I may add, took issue with me proclaiming that four teams that he had an opportunity to be with these four teams; because she’s saying that’s not true; she doesn’t care what anybody is saying.”
Smith then proceeded to speak about how the NFL and NFLPA are saying differently on the subject also. From there, the ESPN analyst states that Diab again denies any rumblings of Kaepernick being offered a job in the NFL.
“I assured her that folks in the NFL and with the NFLPA are saying differently. But nevertheless, she emphatically denies that that is the truth and obviously she is directly connected to the number one source. So this is what she is saying,” reports heavy.
