Steve Smith is one of the most vaunted trash talkers in NFL history and he doesn’t care who has a problem with it. The latest words from the Ravens receiver come following Cowboys’ rookie Anthony Brown speaking out against Smith following their Week 11 game.
Steve Smith ‘doesn’t give a flying f***’ if he hurts millennials’ feelings
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Brown said that he “lost all respect” for Smith after hearing the amount of trash he talks during the game. It comes just weeks after the veteran got into another public fight with Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey, another rookie.
”I can really give a flying f---. Older guys, they understand the respect game. These young guys, these new millennium guys, they don’t really get it.”
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Smith is big on young players respecting older ones and routinely jawed with Josh Norman while the pair were in Carolina over this very subject. Smith isn’t losing any sleep over it.
“I’ve had two rookies that unfortunately, they have lost all respect for me, so it’s been really keeping me up at night. ... With all the lack of sleep ... I was almost unable to send my cleats and gloves all the way to Canton ...”
The NFL’s king of trash talk has not been de-throned.
