Smitty will be on Jim Rome show today

[Krucid]

Much respect to Steve. I am thankful that i have had the privilege to watch him do some amazing things in his career.

You can listen to past interviews on that same page. He had some interesting things to say about the whole "Bounty Scandal" in the April 2012 interview. I don't recall ever hearing it.

He mentioned the play where the Saints DB took a shot at his ankles out of bounds. Said he confronted the guy the guy on the spot and the dude said, "If I didn't they (the Saints) gonna fine me." Said he went up and straight up, calmly confronted Gregg Williams after the game and got an answer. Said if Gregg wants to deny it so be it because, quote, "I'm not a liar, lying serves me nothing and I don't gain nothing from it. I just signed a 5-year $31.5mil contract, I ain't writing no book."

Then Jim asked him about Ron Harper's endzone shot and Steve said, "Roman don't like me an I sure don't like him." ......LOL

In the September 2011 interview, after the Arizona and Green Bay games, he said, "Cam can be as good as Cam wants to be. Seeing all the work he puts in I just hope I'm still playing in 3 years or so when he peaks, and not watching from the sideline." Steve also slobbered all over Ron and pretty much said he is a better coach than Fox.

New found, previously non-existent respect for Rome.  Any friend of 89 is a friend of mine. 

 

Awesome to hear him speak outside of the confines of the local monkey show.
