Dodgers at Philadelphia NHL 7 pjn. TBS Carolina at N.Y, Islanders Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith's comments on Sunday are the stuff that trade demands are made of.

Smith talked about how he doesn't feel like an asset for the team. The next step, of course, is demanding his departure from the Panthers. It's true that Smith hasn't been involved in the offense this season, but that blame falls on his quarterback Jake Delhomme. And even with Delhomme's struggles, Smith is still enough of a threat to draw defensive attention away from the suddenly blooming run game. He's still an asset.

But if he keeps down this path, he might be an asset for some other team. This Is tits opinion of stiff writer Jason McGill. TVRADIO HIGHLIGHTS TUESDAY RADIO AUTO RACING 7 pjn.
