Bruised Steve Smith Sr. confused about who belongs on his 'lifetime hit list' (Shutdown Corner)

At one point during his team's 23-20 overtime victory on Thursday night, veteran Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. just grabbed young Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Antwon Blake's jersey and stared blankly until he felt like releasing it. This is what Smith does. He establishes dominance.

So, when a hard hit to Smith's lower back late in the third quarter sent him to the sidelines for the remainder of the game, he didn't take too kindly to former Carolina Panthers teammate Mike Mitchell talking some trash after the safety's Steelers defense stopped Smith a yard shy of the first down.
