Steve Smith's Top 5 Teammates


Recommended Posts

steve smith is the last person to consult when it comes to being a good teammate. have to believe making excuses for his attacks on his teammates and just generally staying out of his way are the keys to making it to the top of his list.

smith is a ticking time bomb and he knows it. the people on this list are the people who he knows can help him on and off the field when he gets out of hand. every one of them is a mentor in one way or another.

that's an article worth writing. not a lot of clear introspection here though you can understand his process in picking these guys. i've gotten the impression since he retired that he's trying to clean up his past for a bid for canton but it falls more on the side of erasure

Why do people expect Cam to be on the list?

Didn't follow American Football back then so I have no idea about their relationship. Reading the motivation for Olsen, it sounds he doesn't think highly of Cam and take shots at him indirectly. 

Could be that my english is a lot worse than I think. :omg:

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
