Thoughts on the Steve Smith Injury

Warning:  this article will be biased.  Steve Smith is my favorite Panthers player, so expect a slanted article.  I’m not too bothered by the injury.  Yes, I would probably be angrier if it were any other player, but it’s not.  On a serious note, it’s not very reassuring that Steve Smith is playing flag football.  By [...]
