Smitty is such a badass.

Ha ha yes. I wouldn't expect Steve to react in any other way.

Smitty is hilarious. He is the toughest 5'9" man in the universe. Good to see him playing well. So glad we didn't trade him. He is a Big part of the heart and soul of this team. I truly hope he retires as a Panther.

I must say I prefer ranch too.

[FugginPoo]

Smitty = Napoleon syndrome

Blue Cheese is clearly the inferior choice. Isn't the blue stuff mold? Or was I told that by Big Ranch.

This REALLY pisses me off...He really is trying to act as if he was simply defending his territory? I could see if Steve Waltzed in doing the PrimeTime high step...he literally just slowed down...that is all. It's just the most idiotic thing I've EVER basically seen in football. At least most dirty players aren't as blatant or can come up with a SEMI-legit reason for what they did.

i dont think smith cares. he proved he was a bigger man than their defense when he made that catch and threw jenkins (i think it was him "covering" smith) to the ground. then after the td showed them why they are his bitch.

Nah, it was Jabari Greer who he threw down lol

Only person who deserves an apology out of this whole ordeal should be Malcolm Jenkins. Harper got him embarrassed nationally by being a victim of the wrath of Smitty. Probably went home to his wife and kids and they just shook their heads at him

Fear of spiders is arachnophobia, fear of tight spaces is claustrophobia, fear of #89 is called Logic

It's hard to apologize or say much at all when you're being held up by your facemask getting punked on national television.

METAIRIE, La. (AP)—Saints safety Roman Harper(notes) sat in front of his locker wearing a big grin when asked for his reaction to a $15,000 fine the NFL levied on him for his late hit on Carolina receiver Steve Smith.

“My reaction to it is the smile on my face,” Harper said.

Harper shoved Smith to the ground as the receiver slowly crossed the goal line during the first half of the Saints’ 30-27 victory over the Panthers on Sunday. A brief scrum between the NFC South Division rivals ensued.

When asked if the fine was worth it, Harper responded, “Oh yes it was. I think the point was taken and everybody that needed to get the point got it.

“I think the NFL got the point. I got the point. Everybody that was involved got the point,” Harper continued. “So I think it was good for this team. I think it was good for everything.”

Harper had said after the game that he “just lost it” when he saw Smith slowing down in apparent celebration before crossing the goal line.

Smith said Harper misread the situation...

Harper: Fine for hitting Smith was worth it

Ut oh. Come January 1, Smitty's going to go all "Fred Smoot" on Harper...
