Breaking: Steve Smith to retire, according to Joe Person

[Cary Kollins]

Steve Smith via his instagram:

"After 12 amazing seasons with the Panthers, I've decided it's time to step away from the game I love. It's something I've thought about for a long time, and after seeing Kevin Ware's injury last night, I realize just how precious life is. I will spend this next chapter of my life with my wife and kids, healthy and able-bodied. I will always be a Panther at heart."

Per Joe Person's twitter:

"Carolina Panther great Steve Smith plans to hold a press conference this afternoon where he is expected to announce his retirement from the NFL."

This one is so overdone too. It's not even believable anymore.

People who think that making these kind if threads is funny absolutely are pathetic and have no meaningful lives.

They should do the gene pool a favor and play in rush hour traffic before they reproduce.

Tell us how you really feel, Asshatter.

Tell us how you really feel, Asshatter.

Well since you ask....I think you are a complete idiot with nothing meaningful to add to the human race.
