A few thoughts on this...
1. I fail to see how this wasn't just a normal tackle in a contact sport and I didn't see malicious intent to injure someone. They were trying to keep him from getting a first down, aren't you supposed to hit them as hard as you can?
2. Based on the interview, Steve Smith is mad because Mike said "How you like that"? I find it hard to believe Steve hasn't said and done much worse while playing and needs to learn to take it if he can dish it. I can only imagine some of the things players have said to each other during this rivalry and that's what Steve takes offense to?
3. With that said, Mike Mitchell needs to shut the hell up on the field and just play the game. Nothing irks me more than watching him prance around the field like he did something awesome after he puts a hit on a WR after catching a pass for a first down.
4. Isn't having a "hit list" one of things the NFL frowned upon after the whole Saints situation? Maybe Steve will be getting a letter from the league, but most likely it'll be swept under the rug as usual.
