Qerim quit The Worldwide Leader in Sports and ‘First Take’ in the middle of the night. The announcement came as a shock, given the lack of any indication of an exit. It was also pretty abrupt.

Even co-host Stephen A. Smith was blindsided.

Smith recently opened up on the departure in a way he never had before.

Well, Molly was back under the lights on Wednesday night, attending UConn’s blowout win over St. John’s.

While she kept it simple, sticking to a short coat and denim jeans, she stole the show.

The former ESPN personality posted two photos from her outing to her Instagram page, captioning them “UCONN Bball🏀.”
