Steve Smith Sr. will go down in folklore as one of the Carolina Panthers' greatest ever players. But the former wide receiver is doing a fantastic job lately of losing the good graces of fans.
His latest outburst crossed the line. And not for the first time in recent months, Smith's comments were way wide of the mark.
This all centered on Smith's thoughts on the criticism being received by first-round pick Xavier Legette. The wideout has endured a rough start to the season, which follows on from his rollercoaster rookie campaign. Concerns are warranted, but that didn't stop a verbal tirade from the ex-Carolina hero during a radio appearance.
