Wide receiver Steve Smith has issued a formal apology to his teammates for his unruly behavior the other day, which culminated in a broken nose for cornerback Ken Lucas. The action got Smith suspended by the team for two games. In an article published by CBCSports, Smith was quoted as saying, “I’m not going to get into who’s right, who’s wrong. I’m completely wrong. It was an asinine decision. And I’ll move forward better than I probably have ever had to. It’s the first time in my life that I really haven’t forgiven myself.”
Smith actually punched Lucas while the cornerback was down resting on his knee. Lucas suffered a broken nose and announced that he’ll be out of action for at least three weeks. Lucas accepted the apology by saying, “Sometimes when emotions are involved, you do stupid things. Being a Christian, I have a forgiving hear and I’m wiling to move forward to held this team win this year.” Catch up with all of the team members with your pair of Carolina Panthers tickets.
