CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith was livid over comments he said St. Louis cornerback Janoris Jenkins made about his family during Sunday's 30-15 victory against the Rams.

Smith let Jenkins know it on the field, pointing his finger at the second-year player out of North Alabama in the third quarter after scoring a touchdown on his 800th career catch.

He then unleashed a profanity-laced tirade against Jenkins in the locker room after the game.

"What I don't like is a young guy who comes in, who obviously his first time ever using the Internet and Google, and he Googles information about me, talks about my wife and stuff like that," Smith said. "That's just some of the b------- I just don't play with."

Asked what Jenkins said specifically, Smith reiterated his anger with the cornerback.

"I don't play them games," Smith said. "When you try to take it personal like that, I don't have any great humbling things to say. So he can take his a-- back to St. Louis and watch the f------ film, 'cause I don't play them games.

"And if I see him on the street, I'm going to bust him in the f------ mouth."

This was the norm in a game where there were five personal-foul penalties -- four against St. Louis -- and a couple of skirmishes, including one in which Rams defensive end Chris Long was ejected for throwing a punch two plays after receiving an offsides penalty with which he vehemently disagreed.
