Rumor has it, Carolina Panthers great Steve Smith Sr. set fire to more than just defenses back in the day.
Ok, maybe it’s not really a rumor—seeing as though the man himself has confirmed it. But on Thursday night’s edition of NFL GameDay, the legendary 16-year wide receiver revealed he used to listen to Adele during pregame warmups.

And if you’re not much of an Adele fan (and why wouldn’t you be?), go easy on Steve. After all, she’s only one of the most talented singers and songwriters of this generation . . . hello!
Smith Sr. also wouldn’t go without showing some love to the Panthers for their triumphant Week 4 victory—their first in 10 games. When the show turned its attention to the Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints matchup—which’ll take place (fittingly enough) in Adele’s hometown of London—he stopped the segment in its tracks to shout his team out.

We’ll never find someone like you, Smitty.
