What would REALLY be ironic is if Smitty was raising awareness for workplace violence. He was never accused of any form of domestic violence.

there was that one NFL commercial where he was teaching kids about manners and sportsmanship

i mean regardless of where you stand on 89 he did spend a lot of time suplexing defensive backs after the whistle

Thank God for nondisclosure agreements.

Panthers GOAT. Like it or not. I appreciate every moment he played in a Panther uniform. He wasn't the prototype but he was the agressor whenever he had the ball much like the great Walter Payton. He understood that football is a qladiator sport not a country club or a friendly brotherhood. That stiffarm and attitude was for the chumps who could easily end your career like Hannibal Navies. (Who was just playing the "game" too) That was his teammate a couple months earlier. It's a violent SPORT and environment. What he does for families is part of who he is now. Happy for him

I have heard no reports of domestic violence involving SS...

Greatest Panther ever. Chased away from the team he loved by a clique who couldn't stand how much of the spotlight he still drew.

Now, trying to work for a good cause, he has to partner with another Charlotte team. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Notice how I didn't specify "domestic violence".  I said "violence".  Are you saying one is ok, but the other is not?

 Spill the story! (or at least send me a PM). You peaked my curiosity the last time you mentioned it and I don't want to lose sleep over this.

The hornets and I guess his foundation are the only two bridges left in Charlotte that he hasn’t burned.

What is with the Smitty hate around here?

It’s mostly from Dave Gettleman fans who are still salty we didn’t recognize his genius personnel management decisions.

It would be a shame if @Panthers and @89SteveSmith never mended that relationship. Nobody gave more of themselves to the organization than Smitty, day in day out. There were many times that the team didn't have a solution at QB but as long as he was on the field we had a chance to win.

Many of the people hating on the guy have no idea what the history of the Panthers would have been without #89. Let's just say bottom of the barrel. He fought to keep us from the bottom all those years and did so, at times almost singlehandedly.

Respect the GOAT
