And don't give me that "eye of the tiger/champion"-bullshit on this one; that particular version of 'fight or flight' is reserved for the ring-bearers and MVP's of this league.
It's nice we got some value for him, but he should have called it a day.
In any event, I hope he recovers and doesn't lose a leg because that would be horrible for him and his family. None of this changes that I do NOT appreciate Smith the player or his time here, but obviously you don't want to see a man lose a limb over something as fleeting as football.
