Panthers WR Smith regrets arm injury but not playing flag football http://NFL.com Wire Reports

An apologetic but defiant Steve Smith expressed regret Thursday for breaking his left forearm while playing flag football, and he also took shots at critics who questioned his judgment.

The Carolina Panthers' star wide receiver called Charlotte radio station WFNZ-AM and acknowledged that he had been a regular participant in an adult flag football league at a local YMCA. He was injured Sunday when he slipped and used his left arm to brace his fall. Smith broke the same arm, but in a different spot, at the end of last season.

"Obviously, I put my team and myself in a bad situation by playing," Smith said. "But that wasn't my intention and wasn't what I thought the outcome was going to be."

Smith spoke to NFL Network's Rich Eisen later in the day and revealed that doctors placed two plates and 20 screws in his arm, which is in a cast. Smith also said he talked with John Fox and hinted that the coach wasn't too happy with the situation.

Playing football out of the team setting and participating in risky activities are usually banned in most NFL contracts. However, the Panthers aren't expected to take serious action against Smith, who will miss much of training camp but is expected to be ready for the Sept. 12 season opener against the New York Giants.

"I wish I could take it back," Smith said on WFNZ. "But I am a regular guy outside of football. I mow my grass, too. I can get my finger chopped off fixing my lawnmower. I could roll my ankle playing tag or slip-n-slide with my kids. In hindsight, yeah, I won't do it again. But I was just having fun, playing with some guys."

Smith, who said he played quarterback and defensive back in flag football, was quick to bring up the subject that many wanted addressed: Why would a four-time Pro Bowl selection due $5.75 million this season play in a YMCA league full of weekend warriors?

"If you get out of your little shallow box, you would understand it's more than just money for me in this game," Smith said. "This is what I grew up playing, and it was my offseason. Until freaking Father's Day, nothing had happened."

Smith, who has been suspended twice in his NFL career for punching teammates, led the league in catches, receiving yards and touchdown catches in 2005. Despite Carolina's quarterback problems last season, Smith had 65 catches for 982 yards and seven touchdowns before he was injured in Week 16.

Smith had a plate inserted in his arm after that injury, but he said it's unlikely that contributed to Sunday's incident. "I don't think so," he said. "It's like getting struck by lightning twice."

Smith's agent, Derrick Fox, said the receiver had another plate and screws inserted in a Sunday night surgery. Fox initially said he believed Smith was injured while playing football with kids at his youth camp. Smith denied there was any attempt of a cover up and said he told the team to be quiet about the injury because he wanted to explain it himself.

Smith, 31, did make it clear on the radio interview that he won't play flag football again until after he retires.

"I'm going to sit in my bubble. That's what I'm going to do for the rest of my career," he said. "That would be better for everybody."

He's a great player, but not the brightest guy in the league.

Learning a man that tried to destroy your company just got sentence to 18 months in prison, and fined $600,000 will make ya a happy happy man. What a great day. Now, all I have to do is select the right card to send him in prison lol.

My favorite NFL Moment was when Rich Eisen bitch slapped your sorry ass predicting a Bengals Super Bowl victory because they signed some washed up defensive back.
