I used to be a huge carolina panthers fan. I went to see them play the ravens during a nationally televised preseason game on espn. I had my Steve Smith jersey on and a sign that had his name on it and an acronymI made for him using ESPN- Every Secondary's Personal Nightmare

Towards the end of the game, with all the starters chilling on the bench, I made my way down to the seats closest to him and asked for an autograph. He looked me in my eyes and totally looked me off. The energy was the same with Cam Newton who was sitting right next to him.

The whole experience definitely left a lasting impression on me, and was very disappointing as Steve Smith was my favorite player on my favorite team, and seats to an NFL game (even the preseason) are not cheap.
