We told you on Monday how Carolina’s Steve Smith was plotting his revenge against Giants safety Michael Johnson when the two meet in Week One.
We’re delighted to inform you that Johnson took the bait, and fired right back.
“Who you talking about? The Steve Smith that went to the Pro Bowl?” Johnson asked today, via the New York Daily News. “So you’re not talking about Pro Bowl Steve Smith, right?”
Boom. Roasted. (Although Carolina’s Steve Smith has gone to the Pro Bowl four times.)
Johnson denies that his hit that broke Smith’s arm was illegal and says he’s not worried about payback.
“No,” he said. “The only Steve Smith I’m worried about is the one on my team.”
