Steelers' Ike Taylor Blasts Stephen A. Smith

Of course, the 'you never played the game' critique is pretty silly, but Stephen A. Smith is an idiot, and it's fun to see Taylor come after him. To see people like him and Skip Bayless be given such an important platform to critique their play and spew nonsense must be annoying indeed for the players. Taylor's playoff performance against the Broncos was terrible, but he was also easily the Steelers' best cornerback last year.
