Steve Smith Is ON WFNZ Having A Confessional, Won't Let the Story End

[Johnny Rockets]

This is true.  People just don't say the types of things that Gettleman supposedly said.

 

"He said all I do is hit my teammates"  Wut?  Lol

 

 

Fuggin Yankees and their unfiltered, filthy mouths will say anything.

Yep.  That came off as extremely emotional, maybe even a little irrational, and probably nothing at all like what really happened.

[Jase]

nothing SS said makes that clear.it kinda shows G-man as the insecure baby not SS. If he cannot get past personal feelings.

 

Which is why you will soon hear Dave Gettleman calling up to Baltimore area radio stations to start bitching about steve smith portraying him unfairly.

 

Oh wait, you won't.  Because that's not something a mature adult does.

Put yourselves in Steve shoes and listen to how things went down. That would hurt any of us.

It's not a question of whether or not it hurts, it's how you handle it and Steve ' s handling it like a 15 year old girl right now.

as someone who drives a 2004 camry and works a 9-5 job i find it really, really, really hard to feel bad for steve smith out of context

 

in the context of pro football i can understand but i can't personally relate because i'm not a pro athlete.  outside of that context lol at the notion of me feeling bad for a guy who made millions playing a game and will get to retire before 40.

 

So if you got money in the bank that makes it all ok? Rich people have problems too.

[Ruff]

This is just... Bizarre.

[Mr. Scot]

It's not a question of whether or not it hurts, it's how you handle it and Steve ' s handling it like a 15 year old girl right now.

 

I think you're being generous

Any 34 year old dude making almost 10 mill a season should be prepared for what might likely happen in the near future.

 

I'm sure when he signed Hurneys last contract he envisioned playing his final games here. A new sheriff comes into town and things change. The writing was on the wall, especially after last year.

 

What I don't understand in all this is the CJ extension, we extended a guy that is playing so bad I'm starting to think he may have been juicing and has recently stopped due to the new drug policies and procedures. I hope I'm dead wrong on that BTW.

Steve is responding to reports that came out directly before and after the game. It goes both ways.

Listening to the interview myself right now.

 

If it went down the way Smitty is saying it went down...Gettleman kind of sounds like an asshole.

 

Two sides to every story though...

[Proudiddy]

I still find it hard to believe that people think Gettleman wouldn't say such things. The dude is about as frank as it comes in pressers and it got him into trouble before.

You just saw how the NFL botched the DV issue, AND you don't think it can get personal, rugged, offensive, or cutthroat behind closed doors? LOL. I've had people act like this in management positions when I was a kid making 15k a year. The stakes only get higher.

[Khaki Lackey]

When you coming to town this year, man? We need to grab a beer.

Edit: yes I quoted you.....so

You tricked me into responding!

We were going to try to come to at least two this year, but my wife lost her job, so it's probably going to be just one.

I'm thinking the Birds on Nov. 16 or Bucs on Dec.14th. It's what I have asked for as my birthday present (late Nov.) so grabbing beers will definitely be high on the priority list!
