Awesome job.
Great interview. Smoot needs to be a regular on the show.
Great interview - I love the Steve McNair comparison. My favorite player & you can't name a grittier QB to wear an NFL jersey.
A show with Smoot on it would seriously challenge Rosebowl for top billing on BSR and the radio shows.Quote:

I don't know if Smoot is too big time to come on a show in MS regularly or not, but if he is willing to do one on a regular basis it's insane that no one has asked him to be a regular guest. He is radio gold.
"... a guy that weighs 300 lbs that smells like bacon"
OMG I love it!!
Yep, Smoot just perfectly described what we are missing on our OL.Quote:

Favre was as gritty as they come, yes, but McNair still tougher in my book. Missed a handful of games over a long career as a dual threat QB in an era where targeting the QB was encouraged rather than ejectable. I watched the Titans every Sunday during his playing days & unless you tuned it it's hard to know all the injuries he played through & continued to bow up & drag people for 1st downs.Quote:

2001 - "Overcame more right shoulder difficulties to complete a 3,000-yard season despite at times not being able to reach his left shoulder with his right hand.
December 2002 - three separate injuries – turf toe, strained ribs and a sore back – prevented him from participating in any practice during the month, yet he led the team to a perfect 5-0 record and was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month."
2003 - Won MVP "fighting right calf and left ankle injuries in the final six weeks of the regular season and in the playoffs."
2004 - "Underwent surgery to remove a cracked bone spur in his left ankle that hampered him since December 2003. A blow to the sternum September 26 re-aggravated an injury he suffered in the second game of the 2000 season. On December 28, doctors took bone from his right hip and inserted it into his sternum to fill in an area that contained cartilage instead of bone throughout the area, a rare, preexisting condition that proved to be the source of the quarterback’s discomfort during the year."
Favre has topped McNair on Top 10 toughest athletes list (USA Today, 2004), and started more games, but Favre had the benefit of being a pocket passer & eating pain pills like Skittles. As a Mississippian, proud as hell to have both these guys hail from Mississippi & they are perfect examples of the makeup of people in this state. As a state fan - wtf we were thinking.. I think Dak will be on top 10 toughest lists before his career ends.
RIP Steve
Both were tough sob's.
