Detroit Lions running back Craig Reynolds made a bit of a social media splash over the weekend when he posted a picture of Steve Smith Sr.’s jersey. But it wasn’t just a random jersey post—Smith, the former NFL wideout and current analyst, is suddenly at the center of some serious online drama.
The controversy started when the husband of a woman linked to the Ravens Marching Band accused Smith of having an inappropriate relationship with his wife. Tony Martinez went on a Twitter/X rampage, tagging major accounts and even sharing a video of him confronting Smith. In the clip, Smith apologized with a simple “I’m sorry” as Martinez blasted him for the alleged affair. The phone call didn’t last long—just about 90 seconds, before ending with Martinez still fuming.
Social media blew up, with NFL fans chiming in and even trying to find pictures of Martinez’s wife, poking fun at Smith’s questionable choices. For those who don’t remember, Smith made his mark as a Pro Bowl wide receiver with the Carolina Panthers before wrapping up his career with the Ravens. He’s now a Hall of Fame finalist. Looks like Smith’s off-the-field drama might just be overshadowing his football legacy for the moment.
