“Sex is undefeated”: Stephen A. Smith uses Hugh Freeze "proclivities" to lament Sherrone Moore’s illicit relationship with Michigan staffer

Sherrone Moore made headlines for all the wrong reasons on Wednesday as Michigan fired the coach for having an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member. A few hours after the Wolverines dismissed Moore, he was arrested for allegedly assaulting his executive assistant, Paige Shiver.

On Thursday, analyst Stephen A. Smith discussed Moore's cause of firing on his SiriusXM show.

"Sex is undefeated ... I'm not joking around, and I don't mean undefeated like this," Smith said. "Everybody relents, everybody caves in, that's not what I'm saying. What I mean is, practically every single time we hear about some incident similar to what Sherrone Moore is going through, that's the ultimate conclusion you draw. "We heard about it with Rick Pitino; it involved that. We heard about it with Bobby Petrino, we heard about some proclivities on the part of Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss, it involved that. And we're hearing about Moore, and when they say 'inappropriate relationship' with a football staffer who happens to be a subordinate, we don't know all the details, so we can't definitively be specific, but as I like to say, if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it ain't a damn mongoose."
