Smith-Hall feud: No end in sight

Just heard an absolutely great quote from Carolina receiver Steve Smith on Sirius NFL Radio. Smith has repeatedly gotten the better of cornerback DeAngelo Hall, who reportedly is being traded from Atlanta to Oakland. Smith and Hall have been feuding for several years and that reached a crescendo early last year in a game where Hall lost his mind and handed the Panthers a victory with three penalties for 67 yards on one very crucial drive.

Smith was asked if he was sad to see Hall leave the NFC South. He quickly pointed out the Panthers and Raiders are scheduled to play this year. Then, Smith said he plans to have his children at that game.

"Poppa don't lose no fights when the kids are around,'' Smith said.
