Met Steve Smith today

He held a football camp for kids at Fort Meade today, so I brought my daughter to go meet him.  It was very hot, but worth it.  Stood in line and asked him if he'd take a picture with my daughter and he said of course, and then offered to sign my jersey.  Was real nice, great guy.  I did fish for some intel on my way out, I said "Thank you very much Sir, and I can't wait to see you come back and retire with us in a few years."  He replied "Don't hold your breath."  He didn't seem mean about it, but he wasn't smiling either, heh.  Guess there's still some hard feelings.  Can't blame him though.  He was very nice to me and my daughter anyway.

I honestly don't know why people believe it was handled poorly. Unless I completely missed something.

Some people would have preferred it was handled a little more ceremoniously than as if he were some practice squad guy that got let go. But that's not the point of this thread, I don't wanna get into an argument about old news.  I'm just happy I was able to shake the hand of my favorite player of all time and he was very nice to me and my daughter, standing out there shaking hands, taking pictures and signing autographs with a buncha people in the scorching heat after running a football camp for an hour or two.

Classic case of a great person taking business a little too personal.

 

It is what it is. That sense of holding a grudge is what drove Smith to be as a great as he is.

 

He'll come back and retire a Panther I think, he has too much respect for Mr. Richardson not to.

All I will say is that Steve Smith, who I loved, had a laundry list of unprofessional behavior.  He probably didn't get a ceremonies farewell due to responding to the news unprofessional ly.  Even then Gettleman made a statement thanking Steve and wishing him and his family the best after saying it was not an easy decision to make. Some players want to act like divas but be treated with the respect they haven't shown others along the way.

Once Steve is finished playing, he'll come back and retire here.  If he's still using it as fuel, so be it. That's how he's always been. He loves the Carolinas, and he works hard to give back to them,  and that's all that really matters anyways

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
