When Speed hit the CBS Sports studio, he brought the heat—and by heat, we mean chaotic energy only he can deliver. His first few moments were as wild as expected, leaving the presenters both stunned and confused. CBS, are you ready for this? The internet sure was.


Speed's backflip and Ronaldo moment (via @Kylian on X)

"Speed does a backflip on CBS and hits the Ronaldo SIU to celebrate. 😭"

Who else could celebrate a backflip with a Ronaldo “SIUUU”? The moment Speed hit that iconic celebration, he practically became the spirit of the Champions League—well, at least in his own head. Was it necessary? Absolutely not. Was it hilarious? No doubt about it.


Thierry Henry can't stop laughing (via @Kylian on X)

"Thierry Henry started laughing when Speed said he was a professional footballer 😭"

Speed saying he’s a “professional footballer” sent Thierry Henry into a laughing fit—and honestly, same. In Speed’s defense, he’s got the enthusiasm of a pro athlete but maybe not the skill set (yet). Still, watching Henry try to hold back his laugh while Speed went on was comedy gold.


Speed barking on live TV (via @Kylian on X)

"Speed barked on live TV what’s wrong with this guy 😭😭😭"

In typical Speed fashion, he decided barking at the CBS camera was an acceptable response. Confused? So were we. Yet somehow, Speed’s barking antics have become his brand—and CBS viewers just had to deal with it. The real question is, will he ever stop barking? (Answer: probably not.)


Speed takes down Carragher in a race (via @Kylian on X)

"Speed destroying Jamie Carragher in a race despite getting ATTACKED mid-race 😂"

Not only did Speed beat football legend Jamie Carragher in a race, but he also dodged an accidental takedown mid-run. Forget finesse—this was pure chaotic speed (pun intended). If you were looking for Olympic-level grace, look elsewhere. But for laughs? Speed had it covered.


Speed defends Ronaldo over Messi (via @Kylian on X)

"Speed explaining why Ronaldo is better than Messi on CBS 😂😂"

Speed’s loyalty to Ronaldo knows no bounds, and his passionate rant about why Ronaldo is superior to Messi left the CBS crew in stitches. It’s the kind of dedication that’d make CR7 proud—or at least concerned about Speed’s obsession. Messi fans, maybe skip this part.


Speed rips his suit pants (via @Kylian on X)

"Speed ripped his suit pants from his race against Jamie Carragher 🤣"

In what can only be described as peak Speed fashion, his sprint against Jamie Carragher ended with a wardrobe malfunction—ripping his suit pants. While Carragher took the L in the race, Speed took one in the fashion department. Don’t worry though, Speed still wore it with pride.


Speed's arm-wrestling rematch (via @Kylian on X)

"Speed demanded a rematch against Jamie Carragher in arm wrestling and lost again 😭😭😭"

Speed might’ve been cocky enough to challenge Carragher to an arm-wrestling rematch, but the outcome? A big ol' L. Twice. Some say persistence is key, but Speed might need to rethink his strategy—or just stick to racing (even if it means ripping his pants again).


From awkward yet hilarious interactions to Speed's wild energy disrupting CBS's usually calm football coverage, this appearance had everything a Gen Z viewer could hope for. Whether he’s making you cringe, laugh, or both simultaneously, one thing is for sure—Speed knows how to entertain.

Love him or hate him, the internet can’t stop talking about his CBS appearance, and it’s easy to see why. With his unpredictable nature, we can only wait to see what viral moments Speed will create next. And honestly, we wouldn’t want it any other way.
