Stetson Bennett roasted Georgia media personality Steak Shapiro over truly bizarre cell-phone take

Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett prepared the absolute perfect clapback to one of Atlanta’s most notorious sports media personalities.

This week, Bennett, the Peach State hero after willing the Bulldogs to a second-straight national title, looked to innocuously miss a question from a reporter during Georgia’s undoubtedly loud championship parade.

The moment showed that Bennett was checking his phone during the missed interaction, which most people would most likely not find offense with. After all, Bennett was at a parade commemorating his accomplishments with his teammates. Checking your phone shouldn’t be a party foul.

However, Atlanta-based sports and food media figure Steak Shapiro (yes, that’s what he goes by) decided to drum up an incredibly silly, Skip Bayless-level hot take about Bennett’s apparent lack of cellular decorum during the car ride.

Shapiro is no stranger to controversy. He’s infamous for being fired from a radio gig after mocking New Orleans Saints legend and ALS survivor Steve Gleason with two other co-hosts. He thankfully apologized, but it put a bad taste in the mouths of his listeners.

This time, he bizarrely decided to come after one of the most popular athletes in the state of Georgia. However, Bennett, a savvy social media user, delivered the most devastating comeback for Shapiro’s nonsense.

If someone began their witty retort to you by calling you “Mr. Med. Rare,” you’d probably want to go into hibernation for the winter and not return until spring practice.

Bennett was clearly just trying to play some tunes and enjoy his time with his fellow Bulldogs. Shapiro’s attempt to start a fire just ended up leaving him burned. He’ll probably have to think long and hard about the next time he takes a shot at a Georgia football player who helped win the school two championships.
