Steve Smith announced today that this upcoming season with the Baltimore Ravens will be his last. Smith is 36, and will be remembered for a) punching out of a couple of his teammates in Carolina and b) being one of the best quotes of his time. Here is a smattering of the loquacious Smith:

Dec. 2014: On if he has recovered from an illness: “You can ask my wife about my stamina.”

March 2014: On possibly playing the Panthers, who had released him: “Put your goggles on cause there’s going to be blood and guts everywhere.”

October 2013: On Rams cornerback Janois Jenkins, who taunted Smith during a game: “[He] needs to wear some condoms.” Smith also said of Jenkins, who trashed-talked him: “When a dog pisses on the carpet, you rub it in his face.”

July 2013: On the Panthers needing a sense of urgency to avoid another early so start: “Like a 35-year old woman wanting to get married and pregnant.”
