Steve Smith isn't really Steve Smith...

From PFT:

As the team for which the original Steve Smith plays prepares to play the team for which the new Steve Smith plays, the original Steve Smith drops an interesting nugget.

In an interview with Michael Eisen of Giants.com, Carolina's Steve Smith predictably is asked questions about New York's Steve Smith.

"Actually my real name isn't Steve Smith," the player whose real name isn't Steve Smith said. "That is the name I go by -- that is the name by dad has and people called me that since I was a little boy. But my mom and my wife, all my family, call me by my birth name -- that is really what I go by outside of football."

But he wouldn't say what his real name is. "You have to talk to my mommy on that one," he said. "I only really give it to my friends; I don't give it to strangers. You learn that at a young age."

Per NFLPA records, Smith's first name is listed as "Stevonne." But his last name is listed as Smith.

It would be wild if his last name was actually "Ochocinco."

And thanks to the reader who pointed out the interview for us.

His name also isn't Steve Smith.

Interesting. It's nothing new though, celebrities have always gone by aliases, especially actors.

Many actors and actresses go by screen names. It's partly for marketability, partly for protection. For instance, a lot of Jewish actors/actresses have anglicized their names to be more marketable. Ex: Jason Alexander, Jon Stewart, Brad Garrett, Jonah Hill, Winona Ryder and Natalie Portman, etc,

And do you really think Jackie Chan's name is Jackie Chan? Hahahaha.

      Bryce Young May Be The Answer

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I call bullshit. Brady,Manning,Brees and Burrow are all just ball distributors. And the better thier supporting cast and more experience they got the better they got. Thier best attributes were between the ears.  Now I'm not saying Bryce is gonna turn into one of them but what I want is for him. Is to have a solid roster around him and some coaching continuity too see if he takes the next step. Because everything I've seen and read after the benching is that his mental toughness and workethic are what we need in a QB

      2024 Draft Picks

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Many criticize our picks in 2024. I believe that most of them were picked because their ceiling is better than those selected before them.  XLs needs to learn how to play in the NFL. Once he gets up to speed he'll be worthy of 32nd pick.  Brooks, showed why we took him in the few games he played. The ACL injury really sucks but he can overcome these setbacks. Remember TD had 3 ACLs and eventually will be in the ring of honor one day.  Wallace will be a solid LB going forward with experience  Sanders, TE is a tough position to play. He a getting valuable playing time and will become a good TE.  Going down the remaining draft pics all seem to have a good upside. They may not be showing much now but they will start showing their worth next season.

      I think he's shown enough that if a QB fell to us at our pick we'd either draft a defensive player or trade down for more picks.
