Fred Smoot Calls Out Steve Smith

“I can say this about Steve Smith, and I can say this, my worst day in the NFL, he had a part in,” Smoot said, in reference to a 2005 game between the Vikings and Panthers.  “He’s the guy that beat me.  But I don’t say he beat me.  [Quarterback Jake] Delhomme threw great passes all day long, and beat me.  I had Ted Cottrell as a defensive coordinator call Cover Three all day, and got me beat.  So it’s fine, I don’t make excuses.  He beat me.  But no, you didn’t ruin my career, and yes, I’m happy and I’m still smiling, and I’m good, and I’m fine Steve Smith.  So don’t worry about it, Steve Incognito.  You’re so soft.”

I think this PFT article is more relevant;

When it comes to the modern NFL, Fred Smoot falls into roughly the same category as Marcus Vick.  Sure, Smoot had a much more prolific pro football career than Mike Vick’s younger brother.  Then again, anyone who ever actually suited up for an NFL game had a much more prolific pro football career than Marcus Vick.

Still, Smoot and Marcus Vick are currently non-factors in the NFL.  But they both are capable of saying or doing things that register on the football media’s radar screen.  Marcus did it earlier today, and now Smoot has.

According to Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post, the man who managed one rep in the 225-pound bench at the Scouting Combine and had a unique, to say the least, role in the Love Boat fiasco teed off on the NFL’s all-time leading rusher during a recent podcast.

Nobody that meets Emmitt Smith likes Emmitt Smith,” Smoot said. “Have you ever heard anybody say, hey man, I met that Emmitt Smith and I really love him?  Nobody likes Emmitt Smith.  I don’t know if he’s just a jerk because he’s a Cowboy.  I don’t know.  He be rubbing people the wrong way.”

For the record, I met that Emmitt Smith and I really love him.  He’s funny.  Engaging.  Friendly.  He’s the exact opposite of what I thought he’d be based on his work with ESPN, which makes me convinced that the producers at ESPN had no idea how to use him properly.

The next time I see Emmitt Smith, I’ll have to ask him what he thinks of Fred Smoot.  Maybe Emmitt will say, “Nobody that meets Fred Smoot likes Fred Smoot.  Have you ever heard anybody say, hey man, I met that Fred Smoot and I really love him?  Nobody likes Fred Smoot.  I don’t know if he’s just a jerk because he’s a Redskin.  I don’t know.  He be rubbing people the wrong way.”

Or maybe Emmitt will simply say, “Who in the hell is Fred Smoot?”

    • Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down. 
    • Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
