Steve Smith in Melbourne Australia at the Aussie Open

Was watching some Australian Open tennis on ESPN (about 2am Friday) and they were showing American and fellow North Carolinian (from Greensboro) John Isner's match and they cut away to his cheering box and did a quick interview of Steve Smith. Throughout the match they would show him also. Apparently John Isner is a big Panthers fan and Smitty is a Isner fan. Few days ago Terrell Owens was in Australia also supporting Andy Roddick.

Don't post ever, but read alot -- just thought I'd share.

Thats kinda weird, both Smitty and Owens in Austrailia, watching tennis.....we just hired Buffalos WR coach......hmmmmm. Not trying to start any rumors here, but do you think its a plot to get T.O. to play in Carolina?

Oh man that is quite a thought u got goin on there buddy. Much better than mine. I thought Smitty wanted to get traded to the buccs b/c of the colors he is wearing there or even worse, he is wearing Atlanta gear, maybe he would rather play there. What ya think? As long as we get TO, who cares right?

well, not too keen on the idea of Owens ever playing for the Panthers, but not so much worry about Smitty. He is always rockin a Braves hat....

Just thought it was kind of weird and all, nothing to get worked up over.

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
