In response to our item from earlier today regarding initial impressions made by Panthers rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen, we're told that receiver Steve Smith strongly disputes the notion that he believes Clausen is a "punk."
We're told that Smith already has sent a text message to Clausen stating the it's "all BS."
Also, Smith will appear on WFNZ tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. ET in Charlotte to tell his side of the story. I'll be appearing on WFNZ at some point thereafter, during which time I'll surely say once (or more than once) what I'm about to say right now.
"We stand by our story."
Let me say this, Florio is an assclown. He, Schefter etal don't know **** and it has never been more apperant with all the horrible, incorrect reporting going on this offseason. I love how Nix and Ralph laughed at Denver etal. for thinking we were taking Tebow when we had no desire to do so.
That said, for those that think Smith is a punk don't know him. I have met him, he is a leader, he is passionate to be the best and to win. He attends my uncles church in NC a lot and they have gotten to know him and agree he is a good guy.
