Steve Smith: "Cardinals had me worried all week"

Believe me or not...but my mother is a teacher at Matthews Elementary, a co-worker of her's some how knows Steve Smith (neighbor of Steve's financial manager) She asked if he was going to the game and he said yes, club level, in Smitty's seats.

But he told her that when he got the tickets from him that Steve told him he was worried about Arizona and their attack and the disrespect they were receiving...he pretty much called the ass whopping.

I didn't like hearing that, since he is our OG #1, Smitty can't be "worried about the Cardinals"

We were doomed from the start.

ugh.

I think our whole team likes it better to be the underdogs, so they could see where AZ was coming from.

Let's face it, the players are humans too, they think the same way we do, they know all the same poo we know.(and more)

It isn't crazy to think like that IMO.

I have been here long enough to know what happens after bad losses (about 2-3 months, maybe longer, before the crash....and a looooong time lurker) . Just because everyone else is calling for some players/ coaches head, it doesn't mean I also have to run around with a torch and a pitchfork... hopefully, the right things will happen, and the team will be better next year.

I'd be worried too, they took us to the limit the first meeting, and everyone was expecting a blow out and they were 10 point underdogs. That is so much motivation.

Being worried doesn't mean he didn't prepare though so lets not start being stupid.

Wow, a fourth hand account of something a player may have, or may not have said in passing about an upcoming opponent, breaking... fuging... news.

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.

      What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
