News and Notes

Nov 21
WR Steve Smith was sideswiped in his new Maserati heading to Thursday's game causing damage up and down the driver's side.
"I was pulling out of the hotel coming down the road and just kind of cruising," Smith said. "I'm not lying, I wasn't speeding. I was just kind of cruising. I had an hour to be (to the stadium) so I was just kind of cruising. Then a guy comes over and decides to become one with me in the lane and sideswipes me and basically (there was damage) from the front end to back on the driver's side."
Smith said he had to forcefully push the door open to get out.
"I said, ‘Man, you've got to be freaking kidding me,'" Smith said. "He kind of looked at me and was like, ‘You want to call the cops.' And I was like, ‘Yeah.' So we exchanged information and the cops came. We were in a predominantly good area so they were there in three minutes. Back home (in Los Angeles) they never came that quick in my neighborhood. So we exchanged information and he said, ‘I was in a hurry to get to the game.'"
At that point, Smith gave the guy a look like, "Uh, no kidding."
"I was thankful nothing bad happened," Smith said. "But I feel bad for his insurance (company). It was an accident. Things happen." |

Smith had seven catches for 87 yards and 1 TD Thursday in the Panthers' 24-17 loss to Miami. Advice: Smith has 11 catches _ three for touchdowns _ in his last two games, as Jake Delhomme has started to look for him more. |

Smith (ribs) hasn't been listed on the Panthers' injury report on Monday or Tuesday. Recommendation: It's possible that he'll end up being listed as probable after Wednesday's practice, but Smith's rib injury suffered on his second TD catch of Sunday's win over Atlanta appears to be a non-issue. Smith and the Panthers have a very favorable matchup on Thursday against a Dolphins secondary that ranks 27th in the NFL against the pass (239.4 YPG, 11 TD allowed). |
