Whelp, it appears Smith's antics might cost him a game or two + a fine. Didn't see this on TV, but Glazer found it on 22 film. Not good, but at least its likely just SD & TN. Hope its not more than that.......

The radio said they thought it was going to be the next two preseason games only. Guess we will know for sure soon.

He threw the helmet at that idiot's chest. It bounced off his ample breasts. Who cares? Fine the dude $50k and let's get back to work.

I would imagine that using a helmet as a weapon is frowned upon by Mrs. Goddell.

Schefter is reporting that the suspension will be the last 2 preseason games + the SD game.

I'm OK with that.

Missing the opener really sucks. This isn't Smith's first issue with Incognito, but he really should take the higher ground with that guy.

San Diego's pass pro should be swiss cheese enough to get to Rivers without Smith, but I was kinda looking forward to getting them on Monday Night with a full front 7. David Carr still has nightmares I'm sure from his first game against the Chargers in 2002 when he was their punching bag, so getting a little payback is always nice.

Can't play in the remaining exhibition games, let's hope that's the extent of the suspension. Actually I kinda wish they'd suspend the entire starting lineup, both defense & offense, for the last 2 preseason games and keep them off of the field until the games start to mean something in SD. Just too many injuries in these
meaningless exhibition games.

The NFL is considering whether to suspend Houston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith from one or more regular-season games for forcibly removing the helmet of Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito and then dangerously swinging it at his face, according to a league source.

I don't like the sounds of this, could be we won't get off so easy on this afterall ?
