I will be getting Taco Bell for lunch today in honor of Smitty

[Fan01]

I will get Dorito Tacoes in his honor sunday night.  I've never tried one.  Heck, I haven't eaten at Taco Bell in about 10 years.

the one year he was special teams only he went to the pro bowl.

 

Hardly wasted. 

 

Still he should have had more snaps at WR. Smith should have about nine 1,000 yd seasons by now.

 

 

One thing that I think helps 89's case for the HOF was that he was right that he changed the game. He was the first of his kind and the only one  to this day to dominate on the level that he has. Desean Jackson, S. Moss, G. Tate, don't have sht on Steve Smith

I gotta do my part to help the team win.

This was everything I was hoping the E:60 interview was going to be, but wasn't. It's great to see a feature story about Smitty that isn't primarily about him punching teammates, and him being a great player despite his volatile temper.

 

He's a compelling character, great person (believe it or not) and one of the fiercest competitors ever to play the game. The big sports media tend to show him in a different light because it's easier to bring up the well publicized past than to do any actual reporting. And it's a shame, but thank goodness for articles like this.

 

 

Also, if he gets a Taco Bell franchise, I don't care where it is, I will road trip there like a Grateful Dead fan just to say I've been in Smitty's restaurant. (That it happens to be my favorite fast food franchise is just a happy perk!)

Great article but....

 

I've read articles like this before in detail about Steve growing up in the streets of LA, attending juco and then Utah etc.....

 

The biggest take away for me from this thread is................Taco Bell is some peoples favorite restaurant.

Im pretty sure I read years and years ago, that Smitty worked at TB in high school to pay for his prom date's dress. Or something along those lines

[wine-o and cheese-doodle]

Smitty say he can't imagine playing anywhere but here. Well Smitty neither can a few million Panther fans.

The more I hear about Smith's height, although a great player, the more I appreciate what Cam is doing without a reliable #2 receiver.

 The article was a great read. about Smitty. The Carolina  papers should pick it up and print it.

Good stuff....... for all that do not know this, every Monday at 3pm  Smith sits in on the local radio station 610am WFNZ for the entire time.  I look forward to that every week and make sure I tune in.  He is great to listen to.  

[Jangler]

I wonder what he did when customers bitched about their tacos......bitched slapped them?

 

hot sauce up, son.

I pretty much live off of Taco Bell and Jimmy Johns. Needless to say I'll be choosing Taco Bell over Jimmy Johns this Sunday.
