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.

      OTA's

      People were discussing the new backup QB in comparison the the starter.  Neither has anything close to a cannon.  Video was posted of them throwing.  If people can’t be free to express their opinions without being put on a list of posters who have ruined this place we have a bad situation here. People trying to silence  criticism of the QB.    Maybe actually post about the other players instead of about the other posters. That is where it went off the rails.

      That's true and we're definitely going to hear more about it as summer progresses. But at the end of the day all of the progress we've made on the roster as a whole will only matter if our passing offense can emerge from the basement of the NFL. In 2023 it was 32 out of 32 in 2024 it was 30th out of 32 and last year it was 26th out of 32. And early in the season we relied heavily on a career year from Rico Dowdle who is no longer on the roster. This is only reinforced by the fact that we (depending on how one views it) effectively took playcalling out of Dave Canales hands and brought in another offensive mind. The elephant in the room isn't going anywhere no matter how much we may not like it.
