Steve Smith arrives to stadium with ‘I heart haters” hat (Photo)

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith has made it obvious that there is some bad blood between him and his former team the Carolina Panthers after they cut Smith after last season. The Panthers and Ravens square off today and Smith wants Panthers fans to know that he loves the hate he now receives from Panthers fans and players alike with this hat.

Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams called out his former teammate on Twitter Thursday, as the two teams will face each other for the first time since Smith’s departure.

The picture above of Williams in the goggles is in response to a comment Steve Smith made about playing his former team on WFNZ on Wednesday night. 

"“I want to make sure that whatever team I go to, they’re going to get the best, in-shape 35-year-old guy they can get. If that happens to run through Bank of America Stadium, put your goggles on cause there’s going to be blood and guts everywhere,” Smith said."

Smith wants Williams to know that he loves him too, as a hater.

The Panthers (2-1) travel to Baltimore (2-1) for a key inter-conference game Sunday. Baltimore is favored by 3.5 points and we’ll see if any bad blood boils over between Smith and his former team.
