‘Real Time': Stephen A. Smith Talks 'Possible' Presidential Bid, Says He's 'Disgusted' With Democratic Party
As Dems attempt to mount a comeback for 2028, Stephen A. Smith is still flirting with the idea of a presidential campaign. While appearing on Real Time with Bill Maher, the NBA analyst admitted that although he 'can't imagine' running for president, it remains a 'possible' option for him after previous talks of a pivot to public office. More from Deadline ESPN's Stephen A. Smith Says He's 'Officially Leaving All Doors Open' To Potential Presidential Bid Stephen A. Smith Signs 5-Year, $100M Deal With ESPN – Report 'Real Time': Bill Maher Blames Dems' Election Loss & Andrew Tate's Rise On TV's "Endless Parade Of Eye-Roll, Short-Bus Dads" 'Listen, life is good, man. I mean, I leave the door open,' he told Maher. 'I can't imagine myself doing it, but I haven't ruled it out, because I'm disgusted with what I'm seeing on the left.' Smith added, 'I look at the national voice for the Democratic Party, it is non-existent. As far I'm concerned, a damn construction worker could win the Democratic nomination right now, as bad as it is for the Democratic party. They better get their act together. And excuse my language, but they are in for an ass-kicking if they don't get their act together. The party is in disarray. New leadership.' In April, Smith shared an article about speculation of his political plans, confirming he is 'officially leaving all doors open' for a 2028 run. 'Time to stop messing around,' he wrote in part. 'Hate the thought of being a politician. But sick of this mess.' Smith later told Deadline he has 'no intentions' of running for president. 'I'm leaving my options open, but in the same breath, I have no desire to be a politician at all,' he said in May. 'I'm living a pretty good life. I just signed a new contract with ESPN. I'm acting on General Hospital now. I'm acting on Law & Order,' Smith continued. 'My life is pretty damn good. Why would I ruin it by being a politician? So that's my initial response. But, in the end, you never know what God has planned for you, so you just leave your options open, and that's what I'm doing.' The interview came after Deadline reported in March that he signed a five-year $100 million deal with ESPN. In June, he also signed on to host two new shows for SiriusXM.

The Reason Baseball Players Chew Sunflower Seeds
If you're sitting in the stands at a baseball game, you'll have no shortage of options for food: not just peanuts and Cracker Jacks, but hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken fingers, and pizza, among others. (Depending on the stadium, some places might offer better grub, but wherever you go, it'll probably cost more than you'd like it to.) But, if you're a baseball player yourself, you'll probably have one specific snack you favor over all the others -- namely, sunflower seeds. If they're not chewing bubblegum, players are almost certainly chewing on these salty little seeds (which can also be added to ramen noodle salad) and maybe even doing tricks with them. When did this trend come about? Well, it started in the 1950s, but it didn't really pick up for another 20 or 30 years, when a legendary Yankee advocated for them in the press. In the early days of baseball, the most popular chewing option for players was tobacco, as it kept their mouths moist on hot, dry days and allowed pitchers to doctor the ball so it would fly across the plate in an unpredictable way. A pair of St. Louis Cardinals, Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter (future Hall of Famers both), took to chewing on the seeds as they hung about in the outfield, but it wasn't necessarily the most popular option until Reggie Jackson, Mr. October himself, extolled their virtues to Sports Illustrated, describing the seeds' nutritional value. And, if there's any way you can be more like the guy who won the World Series for the Yankees, why not take it? Read more: Once Popular Sandwiches People Don't Eat Anymore Baseball Is A Snack-Happy Sport In General If you think chewing on sunflower seeds might get old after a while, don't worry -- there are a whole bunch of different flavors for players to enjoy. There's original flavor, of course, but there are also seeds with dill pickle flavor, barbeque seasoning, and even a sweeter option with cinnamon. If a baseball player really has a sweet tooth, though, they can always enjoy the copious amounts of bubblegum available (whether Dubble Bubble, with its dubious origin story, or the shredded Big League Chew), or even try some Hi-Chew (which the 2014 Yankees were reportedly obsessed with). All this raises the question: Why are baseball players such inveterate snackers? You don't usually see basketball players having a little nosh on the bench, and while food is an important part of sports like tennis and cycling, this is usually just for replenishing energy, not merely for pleasure. Well, the thing about baseball is that it is a sport of shenanigans. There is a lot of downtime, whether you're sitting in the dugout waiting for your turn to bat or standing in the outfield waiting for someone to hit a ball your way -- and that's saying nothing of pitchers, who either have four days of rest after every start or have to wait to be called up in relief later in the game. You have to find some way to keep yourself busy, and there are only so many times you can set your teammates' shoelaces on fire before they catch on. Whether you need to be focused or relaxed, chewing can help, and players routinely turn to sunflower seeds to occupy themselves. For more food and drink goodness, join The Takeout's newsletter.

"The Kite Man" Temo Chavez builds kites with his family in his Chicago garage
When they look into the sky, Temo Chavez and his family see beautiful possibility. "I like how people are moved by looking at the kite flying so high," Chavez said. "They find it beautiful, I see the smiles on their faces." Chavez started flying kites as a child; they were his favorite toy. He has been flying them for more than 40 years. "Back in the day we had no screens, so we had to use our imagination to play," he said. But Chavez doesn't just fly kites. He builds them with his wife Luz and daughter Atenea in their garage on Chicago's Southwest Side. They keep it simple; no frills or fancy stuff here. "No high tech, nothing electronic; simple materials like wood, plastic string. Simple things," said Chavez. It takes less than an hour for him to make a kite, which he attaches to a 2,000-foot string. When it's all done, his pride is sky-high. "It's something I make and I make it work," he said. "Something really simple but at the same time so beautiful." "I feel very grateful, actually," said his wife Luz. "It's something that is his passion that he passed on to us." Luz said she didn't know about her husband's love of kites right away. "It came out when we were dating. He started to show me. He loved building kites; I said, let's try it together," she recalled. "We do it every year since [our daughter] was three or four, go to the parks." "Growing up seeing my dad fly kites, it definitely sparked a lot of bonding moments between us," Atenea said. Atenea is a student at the University of Michigan where she studies aerospace engineering. And yes, she says there just might be a connection there. "Every time we went out there, seeing the kite fly at those altitudes… helicopters and airplanes were right there," she said. "It was really cool that something that simple, and also in the background there's something so complex, I think it sparked curiosity." Luz says the weather here almost always cooperates, too. "When we moved to Chicago we found out Chicago has wind almost all year round," she said with a laugh. One of the family's greatest joys is going out to Montrose Beach and sharing the joy of kite flying with people there. "When I see people's faces and how they smile, I know for just a moment that someone feels happy," Chavez said. "Something they forgot during the year, the simplicity of life, the simple pleasures, for a minute I can see their faces. They feel good." "The part I love the most is when people approach him or us, they ask questions," said Luz. "They tell him, 'We used to do this as a child, go to the parks.'" "They get amazed how high it is up there," said Atenea. "The look on their faces, can you believe it? It makes me feel cool, honestly. I feel like I'm on top of the world." Atenea has every intention of keeping the family tradition going. "When I start a family in the future, I want to teach them how to build kites and fly them. It's something very simple, very beautiful, that I think is worth sharing to the world," she said. "A dream of mine would be to see many people take the time to enjoy simple pleasures like flying a kite with their families, children, grandchildren," Chavez said. Luz said a few years ago they had a special moment with a woman who said her father had recently died, and that seeing Chavez's kite soaring reminded her of him. She said he would have loved seeing it too. Chavez loves to show other people how to make their own kites. He said the thrill puts him over the moon.
