That's scary if dude was really crying like that from a concussion and had to be carted off.

He was straight up having a neurological episode live on tv. Uncontrollable laughing is not a good sign at all.
I really hope Luke doesn't force himself to play after this game
Might be a good time to take a 2-3 week break from football
Or possibly more

Yup. Scary situation. Looked like he was trying to catch his breath and then got emotional. Hope dude is alright.
 
Thought this thread would be flooded with people posting quotes of BB saying you can't tell the difference between Brady and Jimmy G
 
He was more so praising Jimmy than anything but in any case...RIP Niners this weekend :x :x :x

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- There were rumblings when the Carolina Panthers released wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. in 2014 that his strained relationship with quarterback Cam Newton played a role in the decision.

Smith and Newton, as well as the organization, have shied away from that topic.

But in the NFL Network's "Steve Smith: A Football Life" that airs Friday at 9 p.m., Carolina's all-time leading receiver and others give credence to the rumblings.

"We bumped heads for the obvious reason," Smith said in a preview of the show provided to media outlets. "He's the first overall pick and he was a star where he was. I was 31 years old. I had three kids. So we were two people in two different phases of their life."

Former Carolina offensive tackle Jordan Gross, who was Smith's teammate with the Panthers and at the University of Utah, said Smith's lack of patience with the first pick of the 2011 draft was a factor in the team's decision to let him go.

"Really, I think the organization felt like for Cam to flourish they needed Steve to step down," Gross told the NFL Network. "It wasn't an easy decision."

"Emotionally, it was hard for everybody because of what he's done for this organization, the impact he's had in the community," wide receivers coach Ricky Proehl said. "He's the best Panther to step foot in Bank of America Stadium, but I think everybody understood that he probably needed a change.

"It was probably good for everybody."

Smith, now 37, signed a three-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens 24 hours later.

"Every team that called, I looked at their schedule," Smith said. "I don't know what week but I knew the Panthers were on that schedule [for the Ravens]."

Smith told a local radio station it would be "blood and guts" when he faced his former team. In September of 2014, he had 139 yards receiving and two touchdowns as the Ravens beat Carolina 38-10.

Most of Smith's anger was directed at new general manager Dave Gettleman, who ultimately made the decision to let the receiver go. That Smith had no idea the move was coming bothered him the most.

He heard the news on WFNZ Radio in Charlotte.

"If you're going to let me go, just let me know," said Smith, who had 836 catches, 12,197 yards and 67 touchdowns with the Panthers. "Don't announce it to someone else."

One source, who was close to Rodgers for years but is among the many who have since been cut off by Rodgers entirely, said the quarterback has not spoken to his family since December 2014. Don't feel too bad, J-Mike. Immediate family members don't even have his cellphone number. When Mom and Dad sent Christmas presents to the quarterback and his girlfriend that year, the source said, those gifts were mailed back in February. He was set to be the groomsman in the wedding of one of his closest friends, the source said, and texted the day before he couldn't attend.

He didn't attend his grandfather's funeral - the same grandfather he once called before every game.

He fired a business manager he's known since high school.

The family was told they were no longer welcome in Green Bay. If Dad wants to attend a game now, he buys tickets on StubHub or goes through another player's family.

:rollin :rollin @ sending xmas gifts back

Can't say I know the backstory to all that but damn it al sounds so petty/grimey

Rodgers' former teammate, tight end Jermichael Finley, criticized Rodgers as a locker-room leader, too.

"In my opinion, he's a different guy," Finley said. "I didn't really know how he showed his leadership. He wasn't a vocal guy. He really wasn't a hands-on guy. To tell you the truth, it was all about his game and his stats in my opinion. … He was a guy that kept it all in. He kept grudges close to his chest. If you did something, he never really let it go. He always kept it close to his heart.

"I just don't think he was a natural-born leader. He wasn't put on Earth to lead."
