Steve Smith on receiving record ‘I’m going to smash that’ (Video)

Steve Smith had a huge game against his former team on Sunday and was his typical fiery self afterwards.

Smith had 7 catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns in the Baltimore Ravens’ 38-10 beatdown of the Carolina Panthers. The game marked Smith’s third 100-yard game in four chances this season, giving him 290 for the season.

When asked by CBS after the game what his big effort said about what he can still do in the league — the Panthers cut him partly because of his age — and the 35-year-old said he was going to “smash” the record for yards by a 35+ year old receiver.

“They say no 35-year-old has ever had over 700 yards, right? I’m gonna smash that!” Smith said with a glare.

I’m not sure where Smith is getting his figures. Jerry Rice had three 1,000-yard seasons over the age of 35, including 92 catches and 1,211 in his age 40 season. But I’m not about to challenge Smith on the point. Did you see the look on his face? Shoot, the last thing I want to do is upset HIM. If looks could kill, that glare would have you dead in your tracks. No way I’m telling him he’s wrong about his numbers. Just let him keep thinking he’s right … it will only motivate him.

Also, this quote is precious.

"I'm 35 years old and I ran around those guys like they were school yard kids"–Steve Smith Sr … Mic drop.
