Steve Smith Is ON WFNZ Having A Confessional, Won't Let the Story End

[The Huddler]

Smith is taking this break up hard we might have to get a restraining order.

I also sent Smitty a message on twitter, I told him I'm a huge fan but the way he's acting he will end up like Brett Favre in Green Bay. ..don't end up like Brett Favre in Green Bay

This Reminds me of a comersial. Cant remember what about.

and yet some posters still wonder why the "let's make it about me" 35 year old is gone

Rock on Smitty

Rock over London, rock on Chicago

Well... he called in to WBT news on his own terms back in February (while on vacation) to comment on Gettleman's quotes:

Then he voluntarily called in to WFNZ to talk about his release a couple of months later:

There were numerous other occasions where local radio hosts would be talking about a football subject (or even a life in general subject) and Steve would call in from out of the blue. 

 

Steve calling into local radio to set the record straight has been a normal occurrence for a long time. 

 

So why does Steve feel he needs to do that?  I'm neutral on this issue and I don't think what went down will ever be known, but it seems to be me both parties benefited, the Panthers moved on but Steve didn't.

Nor should he. He was done dirty. That's the business side of it. Our organization decided it was time to move on, but I think we've beat this horse to death. It wasn't handled properly. Love it hate the guy, he deserved better

Yeah. Stabbed in the back by the organization that gave him a chance and stuck with him through punching teammates.

His act, given that he's in a better situation on a team equipped to win now, and given that he had his day to prove everybody wrong, is old.

He's not going to incinerate all the bridges here but he's trying his hardest.

So has Logan Mankins called into a Boston radio show all butt-hurt because the Pats traded his ass to Tampa after he helped them win 3 superbowls?

A buh buh if you don't cup steve Smith's balls even if he's out robbing banks you ain't no real fan

[AceBoogie]

Maybe Smith needs to put a uniform on, grab a rifle, and spend a month out in the poo in Afghanistan getting paid $25K per year to gain a little perspective.

I can't answer that without sounding insensitive to your plight, but trust me I feel you. Different circumstances tho. Both shitty situations, but different.

No, but I think Tom Brady might

Gettleman is a prick and it is no secret. The Smith trade was personal, it was botched and it was a mistake. Everybody knew it then and everybody knows it now.

 

I don't care, it's over but Steve Smith is Steve Smith and I'm surprised he took this long to blow. He doesn't pull punches and he doesn't lie.

[CatMan72]

The other irony of this is that Smitty claims to respect brutal honestly... if what he claims Gettleman said face to face with him is true, it doesn't get any more brutally honest than that, so why the sandy vagina? 

 

I don't think his claims about what Gettleman said are true, or even close, I'm just pointing out his double-standard. 

 

He said Gettleman looked him in the eye and basically told him he sucks and he's a pain in the ass, so why doesn't he respect that?

It's been mentioned a couple of times in this thread - Narcissism.

 

(which by the way is a pain in the a$$ for me to spell for some reason)
