The Top 10 Divas In The NFL

6. Steve Smith Sr.

Steve Smith Sr. looks like he is mad at the world, like the world did him wrong. For a guy who is a star receiver in the NFL, he should lighten up.

Smith is a player who takes anything that does not go his way as a personal attack on him. He did not like the changes going on in Carolina back in 2011 when the Panthers drafted Cam Newton and hired Ron Rivera, a move that most would welcome after a horrible season. Not Mr. Smith.

Smith got so upset, he cleaned out his locker and put his house up for sale. That move did not work for him, though, and he returned and had some good seasons with Cam and company.

The team decided to part ways with Smith this offseason and they released him. They wanted to get younger receivers, and quieter receivers. Smith eventually signed a 3-year, $11 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens.

After that incident in 2011 where he wanted to get out of Carolina, and after fights he had with teammates, Smith was now upset that he was not going to be in Carolina anymore. That apparently did not sit well with him.

The Ravens met up against the Panthers, and Smith promised blood and guts. He fulfilled that promise, making 6 catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns in a Ravens blowout.

After the game, Smith continued his verbal barrage on the Panthers, apparently not satisfied with embarrassing them on the field.

He called a Charlotte radio station to continue the trash talking. “Now that I play well you’re going to try and say that I’m a distraction…i’ve always been a distraction, but I didn’t beat my wife.  Yeah I hit some teammates six or seven years ago but I never beat my wife.”

That was in reference to Greg Hardy being convicted (it is currently under appeal) for beating his wife, one of the cases this season that highlighted the domestic violence problem that hit the NFL.

Stay classy, Mr. Smith!
