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

[Mr. Scot]

Well truth comes out........if true dg is a sorry ass gm for that move,could have been handled with class

As far as smith getting over its easy to say when YOUR'RE not the one getting release from your're dream job of 13 years

 

I seriously doubt what Smith described being said is anywhere close to the truth.

 

But to be perfectly honest, I don't really give a rip if my team's GM says "sorry, we're releasing you" or "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out" as long as he builds a good team.

 

He built one that looked pretty good last season.  This season doesn't look as good, though injuries play a role.  We'll see how it looks by season's end.

 

Bottom Line: I worry a lot less about whether a guy's feelings were hurt by his release than I do about whether he was released for good reason.

My favorite part of the interview was when he said basically that he wasn't a distraction, that he never hit a women, never got a DUI, yeah, he hit a couple of team mates but he never hit a women.

There certainly is no evidence of such.

But my observation is that short, quick, violent tempers rarely have on/off switches set according to gender.

[Mr. Scot]

I wish there was a poll at the top of this thread that had the following options:

 

1) Pro Smitty

 

2) Pro Gettleman / Rivera

 

3) Nuetral

 

Option 4: Pro Panthers

 

 

What reason does he have to lie?? He already embarrassed our franchise and the whole world saw it. He doesn't have to throw our lies to make Dave look bad because he did that on the field.

 

Go back to JR's post.

 

Narcissism.

as if 4 weeks worth of 15 minutes wasn't enough... I really hope the Ravens know who they have... why retire here at this point. His shots are irrelevant and if he has sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much respect for several players and Mr. Richardson why continue this rant?

I'm all good with the 'why?' Still on the fence with the 'how'? Feel like he at least deserved a sit down.

I was trying to saw Smith might have hit a women.  I don't think that he has or would.  I was pointing out the irony of saying all he did was hit some teammates a few times.  Breaking Anthony Brights orbital socket in a team meeting isn't something one can just gloss over.

one thing i just thought of is that gettleman might not even so much as acknowledge this publicly which i'm sure is going to drive steve insane

For those that want the cut throat, get out the door GM. Be careful what you wish for, I don't see players lining up wanted to come here after this. Steve Smith is well respected in this league. It's cute how some of you just dismiss him as a liar tho.

Did you even listen? He just wanted to clear his name. He doesn't care about Dave, he let Dave know how he felt on the field

Man...if Gettleman is/was spreading stuff around about Smith...like leaking a bullshit story to Ian Rappaport ....I don't know how you keep him here.

is he going to call in to "clear his name" the next time someone in the media says something about him?

No one is calling him a liar. But things are rarely accurate from either side. Communication isn't perfect.

Take what gettleman says, take what's Steve says, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
