Panthers legend Steve Smith blasts Brett Favre for Derek Chauvin remarks

Carolina Panthers franchise-great Steve Smith has never been the timid type. When he deemed an opponent or even a teammate (sup, Ken Lucas) to be out of line, he let them know about it.

Glad to see things haven’t changed!

89 took to Instagram on Wednesday night to express his thoughts on Hall-of-Famer Brett Favre’s recent comments regarding the killing of George Floyd. Smith blasted the former Packers quarterback, who seems to be on a crusade to have his mouth produce as much cretinous trash as his right arm did lousy interceptions.

This is quite the sanctimonious move for Favre, now a self-proclaimed disenfranchised football fan that doesn’t like politics in his sports. Unless, that is, they’re his politics.

Well, at least it’s good to know Smith still respects what Favre did on the field. Perhaps that tiny pittance is enough to keep him from icing up after that verbal backhand.
