ANTONE SMITH: GET MONEY, GET PAID

by Orson on Oct 28, 2008 10:24 AM EDT

Antone Smith is a good running back, but he's even better at evaluating the returns on investment. In this case, the investment is pain, and the payoff is money.

Get money, get paid. Antone Smith is an economist.

The quote from the Orlando Sentinel:

And that includes taking a shot if that means it will enable him to be more effective. Smith said hes not opposed to getting stuck with the needle.

I dont mind taking no shot, he said. As long as I get out there and make my money thats what its all about. Thats all Im about right now, this is my senior year, I dont got no other go arounds

This is funny because it is Florida State, and in college the word "money" is thrown around with the same caution as the word "AIDS" is used at a blood bank. A visit from the SID and the media relations staff is sure to follow, but whatever, NCAA regulations: need we review the lessons for success in life? Get the Italian tile, keep you refrigerator stocked, get money, get paid, and you'll have vagina panties droppin' like crazy.

I’m confused. What is Antone trying to tell us with this double negative? Is he part of the oil Barron Smith clan, with a nice cushy trust fund waiting for him should he determine that football is not for him. Then he can move to Boulder, grow dreds, refuse to bathe and smoke weed every day?

Blogga, please. You know damn well that when he refers to “money” he means his contract in the NFL. The dude is trying to cash in on having a good season as a senior. Gators, quit hating. Ya’ll know ya’ll scared about traveling to Doak this year. The stars are aligning. Betta aks somebody!

THREADJACK – any truth to rumor Fulmer announcing he’s stepping down at end of season during noon presser? I’ll be sorry to see Phat Phil go since Gators have OWNED him!!!

That video is the most entertaining thing I’ve seen in a long time.

I kinda understood it as his last chance to prove himself to the NFL. On the other hand I was watching the half hour show that Urban Meyer does with Mick Hubert, and he said “We went out there and won. That is what our players are paid to do.” or something to that effect.

He covered that slip of the tongue nicely by explaining that he meant they are paid with scholarships and an education, but I almost crapped myself when I heard it.

Oh, and fuck Georgia. I still can’t believe those idiots sing a song to the tune of the “battle hymn of the republic”.

Football is all he’s got. Aren’t FSU dimplomas still printed on toilet paper and signed in sh*t?

I’m sure Antone’s english profs and all the tutors that have been beating their brains out to help him keep his grades up and in school are thrilled with his command of the language. Nice work, Antone. Give that man his sheepskin.

Pete- Smith should know they test (or at least try to) for his kind of “shots” in the NFL.

While Smith may have not reached expectations on the field through three seasons, he continues to advance in the classroom. He twice was named to the All-ACC Academic team and is on pace to graduate in December, in 3 1/2 years, with a degree in sports management.
