Steve Smith owns Twitter troll with amazing comeback
Steve Smith was one of the league's biggest trash talkers during his 16-year career, and just because he's retired, it doesn't mean he's mellowed.
The former wide receiver joined NFL Network on a multi-year deal on Thursday, which wasn't met with much enthusiasm on Twitter by fantasy football consultant C.D. Carter.
Looking forward to Steve Smith to spending his entire TV career grinding petty axes against perceived rivals. His speciality.

I need #analysis from a dude who screams in a cornerback's face after catching a 7-yard pass on 3rd and 9. I really do.

Let's not pretend that there's not a decent chance Smith will own me online by week's end.

It didn't even take that long:
But Smith wasn't done - far from it. He followed up that haymaker with several other impressive put-downs.
Thank God when I sign my multi year deal that didn't ask a fantasy league Consultant who can give u a Competitive Edge! 💃👍🤔 https://t.co/hxpQsuFgS6
