My Apologies To Ken Lucas

I would personally like to apologize to Carolina Panthers cornerback Ken Lucas. When the news first spread that he was beat down by Steve Smith, I assumed it was a fair fight. But after about 30 or so emails from people across the nation, I have now learned that Lucas was indeed "sucker punched" by Steve Smith. Nothing funny about that, and I hope the injuries he sustained don't affect his season.

As far as Steve Smith goes, he was suspended for two games by the Carolina Panthers which I applaud them for doing. In reality, after getting the details of the altercation, I would have kicked him off the team. This isn't the first, but the second time Smith has "sucker punched" a teammate and seriously injured them. I don't care how good a player he is, that isn't the type of player that I would want on my team. He is a coward and a punk in my opinion, and someone who surely should be classified as one of the "bad" guys in the league.
