Every NFL team hands out documentation to their players, citing league rules, etc. Next season, they make want to make an amendment which suggests you avoid Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith, who seems to enjoy himself a tussle.

Smith, who seemingly finds himself in the middle of a scrap at least once a week did so again this Sunday as his Carolina Panthers were hosting the St. Louis Rams, though it wasn’t Smith who got out of hand. Rather, it was St. Louis defender Jake Long who got overheated and was ejected from the game after ‘throwing a punch’.

A minor rukus was created by the ejection as both teams came together and began shoving prior to Long’s escorting off the field. But just in case he wasn’t sure which way he needed to go, Panthers tight end Ben Harstock wanted to point him in the correct direction, as you can see below:

Appeared Long missed the mocking from Harstock as he was engaged with another player, which was probably best for all parties involved.
