OT: Steve Smith punches out Ken Lucas in CAR camp

[abomb]

Broken orbital bone for Lucas, potential team suspension for Smith.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Damn. I saw the ASFN ticker, but it didn't say it was a broken orbital bone.

I guess he won't be on my draft list.

 

[joeshmo]

Steve Smith is a punk and an *****. Probably sucker punched him like he did to another one of his teammates back in 2002 during a film session. Smith was suspended for that to, also had to attended anger management classes, and also had to settle out of court a lawsuit the guy brought against him.

Steve Smith, legitimate bad ass!

Prepare to be flamed.

I can take it. Bad. Ass. Doesn't have to be my best friend.

 

[earthsci]

Whatever he is, he just hurt his team. It isn't like Ken Lucas is an insignificant cog.

Even though I didnt type it out...I was thinking the same thing LOL

Any chance Smith is on the trade block?

These news would have been way better if Smith had punched out our old buddy, Terrance Holt instead.

3/5.

Not IMO. I would rather play Carolina (which we do) with Lucas on the bench and Holt on the field.

 

[BigRedRage]

I like players more when they beat someones ass

 

[justAndy]

Hold on now - a throwing a sucker punch is NOT bad ass - it's punk ass.

 

[PoolBoy]

wow. as if carolina wasn't already in trouble with their roster as it was.

Are you sure it was a sucker punch? And some people have different definitions of what a sucker punch is. If someone is in your face talking a mess you SHOULD hit them first if you think it is going to go to fisticuffs, If you dont you might be the one knocked out. I think a sucker punch is walking up behind someone or up to them when they are not expecting it. If he was all up in Steves face then it isnt a sucker punch. He just bombed first which is the best way to go.

I think it's horsepuckey to sock a teammate in the face either way. It's not like this was someone out on the street.

He didn't shoot the guy, he punched him. A team is a family and brothers tend to fight.

It wasnt just a punch. Smith was on top of him pounding the guy and had to be pulled off by a 250 pound Linebacker, because the coach couldnt get him off.

Never punched my brother and never knew someone that would want to punch there brother no matter what. Thats a bunch of horse puckey. I love you so its OK that I punch you in the face every now and again, that makes sense. In fact the complete opposite makes way more sense.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

You don't break your teammate's orbital bone.

Period. Stupid move by Smith.

Considering Smith sucker puched someone else from behind in a dark film room in 2002, got suspended for it, had to go to anger management for it, lost a lawsuit for it, I have no doubt in my mind he did it again. When you have a history if being a dirty fighter its probably a normal thing for them.

How do you know this???

Nothing I read said anything that Smith was on top pounding away at the guy.

Who cares if Beason had to pull him off, THEY WERE FIGHTING!!!!! Do you expect someone to just be brushed aside while they're trading blows??

Yeah, different strokes for different folks I guess because I dont think I have ever met anyone who grew up with brothers and never got into a fight with any of them.

It was on ESPN radio.

And its still dumb and backwards. Fighting yes, fist fight and trying to injury and hurt your own brother is about the dumbest thing I have every heard of. I love you but I want to punch you in the face which could lead to some real damage. Makes a whole lot of sense???

In your opinion. Some less feminine folks would just say boys will be boys from time to time.

If my brother broke my orbital bone, I could care less of circumstance. He would have to sleep with one eye open for a looooong time. He would get a bat to the face brother or not.

Boys will be boys is not an excuse for stupidity. Boys will be boys doesn't keep you out of prision, or out of court.

I am not saying my brother and I didn't fight. Or that I have not had my stupid moments out on a rugby field with a team mate. But I have NEVER and would never be looking to injure a team mate or family member to that degree. And calling it an accident is no excuse.

Some call it toughness, I call it a lack of self control, which I consider a weakness, coupled with insercurity.

Smith is the farthest thing from being a bad ass, IMO. It sounds like he has a napoleon complex, and heaven forbid if he ran into a true bad ass, cause he would get his arse handed to him for the same reasons he lashed out like he did today. I'd like to see his 5'9" 185 arse go up against a LB, or defensive linemen and see what it is REALLY like to have someone stomp on you. See if he would like a beaten with no restraint from one of those boys.

Call it a femine idea if you want, but Smith was the one acting like a little spoiled brat bitch as far as I am concerned.

I hope Lucas presses charges, and we can see how "it just was a fight" excuse holds up.

Stupid. Period.
