Steve Smith Sr. may be a future Hall of Famer, but that doesn’t mean he always kept his cool on the field. Known to run his mouth, Smith Sr. had quite the verbal relationship with Panthers teammate Ken Lucas. During a 2008 practice session, that relationship turned physical as Smith Sr. punched Lucas in the face and had to be pulled away by Jon Beason. By that point, the damage was already done and Lucas had to be carted to the locker room. Smith Sr. appeared remorseful after the incident, reportedly apologizing to Lucas directly after. One teammate, Smith Sr. did not apologize to was Anthony Bright after another incident.
