Steve Smith isn't really Steve Smith...

From PFT:

As the team for which the original Steve Smith plays prepares to play the team for which the new Steve Smith plays, the original Steve Smith drops an interesting nugget.

In an interview with Michael Eisen of Giants.com, Carolina's Steve Smith predictably is asked questions about New York's Steve Smith.

"Actually my real name isn't Steve Smith," the player whose real name isn't Steve Smith said. "That is the name I go by -- that is the name by dad has and people called me that since I was a little boy. But my mom and my wife, all my family, call me by my birth name -- that is really what I go by outside of football."

But he wouldn't say what his real name is. "You have to talk to my mommy on that one," he said. "I only really give it to my friends; I don't give it to strangers. You learn that at a young age."

Per NFLPA records, Smith's first name is listed as "Stevonne." But his last name is listed as Smith.

It would be wild if his last name was actually "Ochocinco."

And thanks to the reader who pointed out the interview for us.

His name also isn't Steve Smith.

Interesting. It's nothing new though, celebrities have always gone by aliases, especially actors.

Many actors and actresses go by screen names. It's partly for marketability, partly for protection. For instance, a lot of Jewish actors/actresses have anglicized their names to be more marketable. Ex: Jason Alexander, Jon Stewart, Brad Garrett, Jonah Hill, Winona Ryder and Natalie Portman, etc,

And do you really think Jackie Chan's name is Jackie Chan? Hahahaha.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      Geno fits Canales and fits the O.  It’s why Geno worked in Seattle and not Oakland.  He is a deep ball passer.  NFL is about fit.  Geno would beat Bryce out in 2 weeks in a real camp battle.  Which ain’t Geno praise.  It’s just recognition Geno is a round peg and that is what we are lacking

      Awesome idea.  Let's make Cincinnati an offer.  I'm 100% sure they are ready to give up on Burrow. That is if you can keep him on the field.  He's been available how many games over that past 3 seasons? Getting Burrow is about as realistic as finding the allusive Rainbow Unicorn.  Do you realize that Young was responsible for 19 of the 40 yards on that final drive? Rico had 21 yards. Both of those completions were for first downs.  That's what game winning drives require.  It doesn't require the QB to throw the ball each and every down.  You do know this? It's clear that you won't give credit where credit is due.   While Bryce isn't your typical "Franchise QB" he's running the gameplan our coaching staff designs.  Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Bryce sucks because you say so.

      Playoffs?!

      By DeAngelo Beason · Posted

      This team is built to win, which I said at the start of the season. I'm not saying we are a super bowl contender, but it's a playoff roster.  The big handcuff is at the QB position.  If Bryce Young cannot start playing at a professional level we are going to continue struggling and stealing wins instead of punching people in the mouth like we should.  The reality is we should be sitting at 2 losses and have blown several teams out, including Green Bay, but having absolutely NOTHING in the passing game is holding us back badly.  Point being, in this current scenario our best hope is that we barely make the playoffs and get absolutely obliterated in the first round.
