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.

      When we have everyone playing like they should, we can win the Cup. That has been the biggest problem when we get to the playoffs, but this year seems to be fixed mostly. We could have had multiple if we had done this in the past.

      Here we go Bryce Stan’s you should love this. Hell it may be one of you.  It has every cliche excuse and then some.  Unintentionally hilarious my limit was reached when he said Bryce had it hard because four play callers.

      JJ & Luke, episode 8

      Luke goes in to the specifics of what he looked to accomplish in joint practices.  Basically they may work with someone on the opposing team to stress something they feel is a weakness in their own game in a different way that can be done with someone they are familiar with. That they can have predetermined stresses but since neither wants to get injured and it has absolutely no bearing on anything there is not the level of concern that would be in a preseason game.  He would also even chat with opposing OC.   It seems like an interesting nuance among the vets and savy pros.
