Steve Smith looking for payback from Giants

[CharlotteBeer.com]

They won't like him when he's angry.

Who else thinks Smith will take out all three safeties ahead of Michael Johnson just to ensure he plays against him that day?

He did want to be a slot receiver and have less of a burden on him, right? I think I blocked that out...

He is going to lay some nasty blocks on them, I suppose.

Steve Smith - - the other Steve Smith, from the Carolina Panthers, not the Giants receiver - - has already added a little spice to Week 1 of the NFL season.

Smith told Peter King of Sports Illustrated that he plans on “going after” Giants safety Michael Johnson in the first game of the year at the New Meadowlands Stadium. Smith is still ticked, apparently, that Johnson delivered the hit that broke Smith’s arm and ended his season in the Giants’ Week 16 loss to the Panthers last season.

You’d think Smith would’ve already gotten a measure of revenge by watching his teammates embarrass the Giants 41-9 in that game, which was the Giants Stadium finale. But apparently he wants more.

Smith also guaranteed he’d be ready to play in that game. Johnson figures to be the Giants’ third safety, unless Kenny Phillips is ready to play, in which case Johnson would be the fourth. So who knows if Smith will even be able to find Johnson that day?

ok.. few things wrong here...

NY's Smith is the other Smith...

second.... his broken arm didn't end his season.. the team's 8-8 record did...

"The only Steve Smith I am worried about is the one on my team. I don't even know the other guy." -Michael Johnson

Ahh yea! I love to see a lil trash talking going on. Fire him on up, Michael.

[Wither]

This guy has no room to talk poo, even if Smitty started it, as indicated by the "who?" that everyone who read the article thought to themselves.

One pro bowl, haha that's funny I haven't seen him come close to winning the triple crown like our smitty did. Michael Johnson's a bitch, watch smitty return punts and stiff arm him into the ground with his broken arm. Moore was playing lights out at the end of the year no doubt in my mind would smity not of surpassed the other steve smith.

[capfolly]

Mr. Johnson

The other Steve Smith is the same Steve Smith who turned your bitch ass spear shot( because you can't tackle the right way) into a permanant reminder why the Giants just went out and got 2 more safeties to play infront of you.

[Davidson Deac II]

Glad to see Steve getting fired up, but there was nothing particularly bad about his hit on Steve. Just a freak injury really.

[Kettle]

triple crown winner that was in the league first. no question who the other is. giant's fans are just fooling themselves.
