If we’ve learned anything about Steve Smith Sr. in his three years with the Ravens, it’s that he likes a good beef – a lively disagreement with someone, usually an opponent, occasionally a media member.
Smith, 37, came from the Carolina Panthers with a reputation for playing and practicing with an edge, and he has done nothing to change that perception.
This season, he has exchanged trash talk and Twitter volleys seemingly almost weekly with rival cornerbacks such as rookie Jalen Ramsey and former teammate Mike Mitchell. He has tossed his helmet in practice and chided reporters who gently asked if he might be getting too old for this.
