Well see... I saw the long pause as a mixture of him MAYBE staring him down as to say "I don't want to answer that.", but also to think about what he would say. Obviously he wants to clear his name, while being as politically correct as possible. For all that we know Ken Lucas may have been talking some really disrespectful junk to him, but we don't. While the adult thing is to always walk away, sometimes a line is crossed, and NONE of US know what was said. I just think as an athlete your words get twisted so much that you SHOULD take the actual time out to really think through what you'll say, and if you even want to answer it.

I know I can be like that in a relationship sometimes to be honest lol. "Do I want to answer this? If I say it this way, even if it's true, will she try to take it and run with it?...."

Sorry but smith is messed up. Hope he gets help for his inner demon because if he doesn't I would hate to see what happens. As for the long pause he seemed like he didn't want to answer but knew he was trapped. If he stopped the interview it would reflect negatively.

What Lucas said is irrelevant.

What I would like to know....is which Panthers aren't going to forgive him. I assume some of those he was referring to are still on this roster

I find it funny alot of people are crucifying the man for fights with team mates. Outside of that, the guy is everything a fan could want, helps charities, no drunk driving or drug addictions, no rape accusations or slandering of a person.

On the field he is the blue-print for a person who is or has been told they are 'too small to compete' to show that ANYTHING can happen if you put time and effort into what your shooting for.

You can be assured if not a hall of famer, will definately be known as the most physical and demanding WR, pound for pound the NFL has ever seen.

Can't watch without getting a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes...

No homo, but I love that man.

GOAT, idgaf what anyone says. HOF should be a no-brainer.

It has been a pleasure to watch him play and become a man, out there for the world to see on Sundays.

man, if ever Smitty is on the fence to be voted into the Hall- this video will will be ammo to voters to keep him out

I thought the opposite. Voters, fans, etc. know the stories about the fights with teammates. The video shows his remorse and reasons behind them. Granted, they're still mistakes, but he opened up about it. I never knew the cancer scare about his wife for example.

Overall, awesome stuff. I <3 89.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
