Lombardi on Football:
Last week I wrote that I thought the perfect time to call the Panthers was right after the fight with Lucas as their patience and trust in Steve Smith might be at an all time low. Now unconfirmed reports are circulating around that the Panthers might be willing to listen.
Normally, teams are always willing to listen but the Panthers ears might be highly peaked at this point. Smith is an awesome receiver. He has great speed and explosive movement. He has what I call Steve Smith routes, which are routes that Smith and only Smith can run. He is very unique and needs to be in an offense that knows how to use his very strange route tree. Teams that use the numbering system of play calling where they can fit his route skills with just calling a number would be the best place for Smith. Teams like Dallas, San Diego, Cincinnati, San Francisco (all teams that use the old Sid Gilliam offense) could conform to his talents.
With the chemistry between Jake Delhomme and Smith it would have to be a very good deal to get the Panthers to make a move. Smith's speed and explosive talents really help make the rest of the Panthers offense work well.
But as we said last week, this is the time to strike if interested.

Over the summer, the battle between the NFL Players Association and the retired players reached a fever pitch. This battle is not some abstract amorphous debate to those who laid their bodies on the line to make the NFL the money printing machine that it is. Steve Smith is one of those retired players who faces the reality of the NFL's lack of health care for its retirees every day...

So I didn't even watch the game. I just kept up with Clapp's live blog.....Ok not really I'm studying for finals. I had a fantasy rooting interest on the Panther's last drive (I needed Steve Smith to snare 3 points; didn't happen). I saw enough of the game to hear Tirico say, "This is nitpicky, ...

You're not supposed to cut DeAngelo Hall now! Steve Smith is supposed to smoke his sorry ass for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns on Sunday! Don't take that away from us, you old diseased coot!
*sigh* This must be some sort of reverse psychology trick ... take away Smitty's biggest motivation, and maybe he'll slack [...]

Some strange goings on at The Bank last night in the bottom of the eighth.
With the Phillies getting whupped 10-4, Shane Victorino was taking a healthy lead off of 3rd with two outs and Matt Stairs at the plate. Braves reliever and perpetual weirdo, Julian Tavarez, took a peek over and noticed Victorino was chatting it up with 3rd base coach Steve Smith so he decided to sprint...

The Phillies didn't wait long to begin preparing themselves for the 2009 season. Starting with the hiring of a new GM, they have made a flurry of moves as they begin the long process of fielding a team that will look to defend their World Series Title. That still feels good to say.

While the rapid emergence of Cardinals first-round draft pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie as a quality cover corner against the likes of Roddy White and Steve Smith was deservedly cited as perhaps the biggest single reason behind the defense?s dramatic improvement in the postseason, team insiders believe CB Ralph Brown?s impressive work in the [...]

It’s hard to be positive at this moment. It’s hard to think about the future with the Eagles celebrating in the Meadowlands. However, I sat in my house, watched Steve Smith fumble the ball, and slightly smiled. There are days when the fates align a certain way. This day, the fates were ...
