I find it hard to believe that after all these years this cliche encounter would be the first time someone let info about it slip out.

Not to mention I recall Newton personally penning a letter to 89 after he was released. Now I'm not saying that meant they were best buds. But I have doubts Cam would have done that if Steve had actually decked him randomly like that.

Smells like BS to me. Even coming from PhillyB, whom I respect probably more than almost anyone here...

Regardless of it being true or not, the same people that hated Smitty before are still gonna hate him. He doesn't care about those people, other than for motivational purposes.

I don't really see the point of exposing it now, though, again, if true. It seems kind of agenda serving, at the very least.

A lot of you are quick to tear down these guys that go out there and do their best for us. I've seen it with Pep, then with Smitty, and more recently you have clowns even hating on Davis and Olsen and they are still on the team.

Y'all hoes ain't loyal.

it's likely gettleman is privy to countless other stories that will never see the light of day.

Except that maybe now that Gettleman has been well and truly flattened by repeated bus run-overs in the last week as well as having observed former hypocrite players finding the body to dance on, maybe some strategic old-skrool "leaking" will be happening over the next year?

Hell, its not as if Dave has anything else to do right now.  :)

Why do people find this so hard to believe? It's not a big deal IMO. I got in a fight with a CB in college in our dorm. Teammates don't mean you have to kiss each other's ass 24/7. poo happens. You deal with it and move on.

That's what I'm thinking - people are taking a very believable confrontation with one person being a known hothead, and making it out like he popped Cam with brass knuckles and he was rushed to reconstructive surgery to realign his jaw before his next media appearance.  These are grown ass men.

I call total bullshit! No way this doesn't get out, and no way the FO sits on it until the end of the season. 

If they wanted to keep a situation like that "under wraps", there's no way in hell they'd cut Smith immediately, because that would have blown up the whole attempt at keeping it "under wraps".

Not cutting Smith until later certainly fits easily into an explanation of a team trying to keep a story from getting out.

(P.S. And the above is in no way a judgement on whether the story is true or not, just a comment on why the timing of Smith being cut could fit the story.)

(P.S.S. But I've never had a single reason to doubt @PhillyB. Is the story true?  Unknown.  Is the fact that Philly heard such a story true?  I have 100% confidence that the answer to that question is "yes".)

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.

      zero percent suprised Luke is a nice guy irl, have never heard anything differently from anyone that's met him.  I have heard mixed reports on Smitty I know one guy on here got to know Deangelo Williams and J stew pretty well back in the day when they used to host events and he said they were nice iirc  I can't imagine Jordan gross is a bad hang, he's hilarious
