Pat Y on why Shockey wont come here (Steve Smith RIP)

[mav1234]

I'm confused. Steve Smith died?

Nah, just had Clausen throwing to him. Understandable why someone might make the mistake.

Smith is great but he is not someone u want to have help others

[Phil Dees]

everyone knows he has a temper and has assaulted two teammates.

three :rolleyes:

[JawnyBlaze]

getting into a fight with a teammate is not an assault. he assaulted two and got into a fight with another.

getting into a fight with a teammate is not an assault.

An Assault is typically seen as very serious violent crimes under North Carolina criminal laws. You do not even have to touch anyone to be charged with and found guilty of assault.

You may have been simply been defending yourself in a fight, or you may have let your anger get the best of you.

If an assault takes place that is not classified as more serious within North Carolina law, it will be considered a Class 1 misdemeanor. These assaults include more minor physical contact, verbal assaults, and affrays (fights).

Class 1 misdemeanors are punishable by up to one year in jail.

I have personally lost a lot of respect for Smith over the past two years. I don't know if everyone remembers the rant he went on prior to last season where he said he was ready to be a #2 and was excited for someone else to step up. This apparently was lip service. One day he will figure out that the only way he will continue to have success now that he has lost a step, is to have the other receivers around him improve. If not, he will continue to get doubled and shut down.
