Was a pretty good interview. Lasted 10 minutes or so.

Talked mainly about his new charitable organization that he's working with. I can't remember the name, but it deals with donating shoes and socks to underprivileged families and homeless people. He's going to LA in June to give out 1000 pairs. Also said this season, for all of the away games, he'll be donating anywhere from 250-500 pairs of shoes in those respective cities, and promoting this charity. He said he can write checks and donate all day long, but felt he really needed to donate his time and do the work to leave him a legacy off the field when he's done playing.

Jim asked him about his quotes on Dave Damesheks show and how he felt about the bounties. He told te same story again and owned exactly what he said and didn't differ from it. When asked about roman harpers hit on him last season he just said he doesn't think it was bounty related, just the saints mindset on getting hits in. Said "Roman Harper don't like me, and I don't like him." Said he wasn't just saying this stuff to get in the press or was lying about it. Said "I just signed a 31.5 million dollar contract, I'm not saying this stuff to sell books or for money. I've been called a lot of things in my time, some of them true, some of them not, but one thing I'm not is a liar."

So nothing really new or groundbreaking. Was nice to hear about his new way of serving, sounds like a good deal he has going.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
