Steve Smith calls Florio's story on Clausen "B.S."

Anyone remember how PFT tried to make something out of the whole "I never really liked you as a Quarterback" comment Smith made to Jake during the season last year? It was obvious to anyone with a brain that Smitty was trying to cheer Jake up with that comment, but PFT tried to twist it into some big controversy.

Florio is like a jealous gossipy little 13 year old girl.

I hope they take calls during Florio's segment tomorrow morning. I feel moved to call into a sports talk radio show for the first time in my life, just so I can call Florio a 40 year old virgin and tell him to go get a life.

I'm trying to get some time off after a very fun, but intense stretch covering the NFL draft and the Panthers' minicamp. Managed to get the yard mowed today. However, when I took a few moments to browse the internet for NFL updates, I was surprised -- to say the least.

There was an item about Steve Smith considering Jimmy Clausen a "punk." Just a few days ago, I talked at length to Smith about Clausen and there was not even a hint of such a thing. As a matter of fact, Smith expressed the exact opposite. Smith wasn't faking either. In case you didn't know, he doesn't fake very well He wears his feelings and emotions on his sleeve and usually can't cover up when he's upset about something.

Earlier today, Smith strongly denied having a problem with Clausen.

There was also a mention in the aforementiond item that Carolina tight ends were upset at Clausen for yelling at them. The most vivid memories I have of Clausen from minicamp were two passes he threw in red zone drills through traffic for touchdowns to tight ends Jeff King and Gary Barnidge. Both of those guys looked extremely happy. King even spiked the ball through his legs in a much more expressive gesture than he normally does.

As for Smith, he went on ESPN's "First Take" yesterday to talk about Clausen. It was clear by the wide smile on his face that he loved re-telling the story about how Clausen answered Smith's request for a 12-pack of Cactus Cooler sodas from California, where both of them are from.

For whatever it's worth, from this perspective, the minicamp seemed to go smoothly and without incident. From everything we could gather, it was an ideal start for Clausen with the Panthers. I neither sensed nor saw nor heard anything that would suggest Clausen did anything other than get off to a great start with his new teammates, coaches and the media.

Would @ProFootballTalk's so-called "reporting" cut it in the print industry? Doubtful, their work is dilettantish at best. #getaclueflorio

ChrisKroeger

@vwesr Don't you love when guys w/ no understanding of a team & its players make crazy accusations? #florioisomniscientfromhismomsbasement

ProFootballTalk

@ChrisKroeger . . . Which print industry? The one that's dying (newspapers) or the one that's already clinically dead (magazines)?

ChrisKroeger

@ProFootballTalk Keep disregarding proper fact-checking. You couldn't hold the jock of @DarinGantt or @CharlesChandler. Check their story.

ProFootballTalk

@ChrisKroeger . . . I'm not spreading lies. We don't need to make things up. There's plenty of stuff happening that we can write about.

ProFootballTalk

@ChrisKroeger . . . And men who have sucker punched multiple teammates should always be taken at their word.

ChrisKroeger

@ProFootballTalk Fact-check, my friend. @CharlesChandler was there and reports an entirely different story. You're in the wrong on this.

What bothers me is that the guys at WFNZ always suck up to Florio, so I don't expect anything different tomorrow, regardless of what Smitty says.

I feel very confident that Smitty is going to call in during Florio's segment tomorrow... :lurk5:
