The old Troy Smith
Former Ravens quarterback Troy Smith made a big mistake Sunday in his heated argument with his coach, and it will probably end his career in the National Football League. There had better be some extreme circumstances for Smith to get into an argument with Singletary.

I'm not a big fan of Singletary as a head coach, but he was the only one to give Smith another opportunity after the Ravens cut him at the beginning of the season. Whatever happened could have been handled off the sidelines. Smith, though, has always had a cockiness about him, and was hard-headed even when he was here in Baltimore. I had hoped he would get his football life together in San Francisco, that a new start would bring out all his talents.

Instead, what I saw was the old Smith, the one who seemed to thrive on confrontation.
