Following the accusations of bombs made against the pateador of the Baltimore Ravens, Justin Tucker, Stephen A. Smith of ESPN wonders how long the special equipment that these reports were approaching.
Thursday, in a story in Baltimore BannerTucker was accused of six massage therapists to expose his genitals, brushing two of them with his exposed penis and leaving what the workers claim that he was ejaculated at the massage tables.
According to Banner's reports, Tucker had been expelled from two spas as a result of his behavior. Some workers made the decision to finish their sessions early and others refused to work on it again.
Tucker and his lawyers have vehemently denied the accusations, and the kicker calls them “unequivocally false” in a statement published after the publication of the article.
In the episode on Friday morning 'First Take', Smith asked openly if this story and his reports may have had an effect on his game in the field.
Tucker, who is one of the most reliable kickers in the history of NFL, had a terribly bad year for its standards in 2024.

Stephen A. Smith of ESPN wondered if the story and its reports affected Tucker's kick
“Indirectly, I wonder how long it is known that these accusations were going down the Lucio,” said Smith on Friday.
'Because we are talking about the most precise kicker in the history of the NFL. Justin Tucker has made 89.1 percent of his field goals in his career, the most precise in history.
'However, this year, it was in 73 percent, which was the worst. His worst of his career. Fourth worse in the NFL between 31 kickers with a minimum of 20 attempts. It was the worst absolute season of his career.
“If I knew that these accusations were going down the spike, that could explain how inexplicable we have been wondering throughout the year. Why is this type of sudden that cannot kick? What the hell is happening? Answer the question.
Before the 2024 season, Tucker had never finished an NFL campaign with a percentage of field goals completion below 82.5 percent, with six seasons hitting 90 percent of their field or better goals.
He is the NFL record holder in the percentage of field goals (89.1) and kicked the NFL longest field goal in 2021 from 66 yards.
The accusations made against him extend from his rookie season in 2012 to 2016. At that time, he was the most precise kicker of the League once (2016) and reached the 168 field goals combined in 187 attempts for a completion rate 89.8 percent.
But this season, as Smith pointed out, his precision took a fall. He made only 22 of 30 attempts for a end percentage of 73.3.

Following the history of the banner that is being published, multiple turns have been presented, including a Denver Broncos journalist who was notified to the possible accusations in advance.
Five of the six women who detailed their experiences to Banner said that the NFL star had asked them to massage the pelvic area or internal thighs while having an erection.
They alleged that they would maneuver their pelvis in a way that will make the sheets fall, either partially or complete exposing their genitals.
Two of the therapists, who have wished to remain anonymity for the fear of the reprisals of the organization or fans of the Ravens, claimed that Tucker went so far as to brush them with their exposed penis.
On other occasions, three of the women affirmed when they returned to the treatment room after their work in Tucker, discovered “a great humid point at the massage table”, who believed they were ejaculated.
Ojas, an exclusive local spa chain on the outskirts of Baltimore, “immediately ended” Tucker as a client in 2014 after one of his therapists reported an incident, a spokesman told The Banner.

Studio 921, a center now closed in Locust Point, said that similar immediate measures were needed to prohibit Tucker from its facilities to “guarantee a safe environment for all.”
It is said that a Spa lawyer personally called Tucker to inform him that he could no longer return.
But in a statement, the NFL star said: 'Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always tried to lead me with maximum professionalism.
'They had never accused me of misconduct of any kind, and they have never accused me of acting in an inappropriate way in front of a massage therapist or during a massage therapy session or during another body.
'I have never received any complaint from a massage therapist, I have never been fired from a massage therapy or body session, and they have never told me that I was not welcome in any spa or other business place.
'By accusing me of misconduct, the article takes innocuous or ambiguous interactions and biases so out of proportion that they are no longer recognizable, and presents vague insinuations as a fact. This is desperate sensational fodder.
He added: 'I have always made a conscious effort to be considered and respectful in all interactions with the community that I love so much. It is devastating for me that anyone would feel that it was offensive in some way.
'I maintain that I do not act inappropriately at any time before, during or after a professional body treatment session. I never intend to offend or hurt anyone, ever.

'As a matter of principle, respect when people present themselves to inform the misconduct of any kind. Support a process that properly investigate claims.
'But, for the sake of me and my family, I cannot allow false statements not to be consulted. I can't be clearer.
“These accusations are false and incredibly hurtful for both me and, more importantly, my family.”
Ravens have not yet made public comments on the matter.
