I'm glad he got his dued suspension (at the bare minimum despite multiple infractions no less), but why the heck is Smith allowed at the 49ers facility when every other suspended player to my memory hasn't been? Why can't Stedman Bailey pop in to say wassup or work out with the team while he's serving his time, but Smith can?
I understand Smith needs "help" or whatever, but where was that help when other players decided to get drunk and drive or light up a doobie? Why were they barred from their coaches and teammates at a time when they hit a low point in their lives? Seems like preferential treatment to me, I think a lot of coaches won't be too happy with this little tidbit that the media has sort of swept to the side.
