I also met Emmitt Smith there once. He was a complete jerk.

I used to work out at this small gym that he and other cowboy players worked out at and I had the same experience, it was a shame to see him be so stand offish, he honestly came across like a stuck up high school girl. Still love what he did on the field for the Cowboys though.

Thomas Everett was a trainer there and was completely the opposite of Emmitt, super friendly, fun to mess with, a real character. He told me he didn't even like football and didn't seem to care about those 2 super bowl wins at all. It was surprising to hear how nonplussed he was over playing for the Cowboys. Really good dude tho

Of all the athletes I really loved Emmitt was the biggest disappointment to meet. I had heard through the years he was a jerk. Then meeting him all those bad stories were confirmed. About 2 years ago I actually was on a flight with him from ATL to NY. We were in the same gate area. I already knew he was a jerk so I wouldn’t even acknowledge he was there. I did see a few people go up to him. He either ignored them or told them to leave him alone. He was traveling with some lady who basically had to make sure he was happy. It was simply amazing to watch. I idolized him as a player but he is a massive a hole.

I think you mentioned once that you painted that Emmitt picture. Great stuff. I like to remember him on the field.
Bringing that painting to have him sign it is when I met him. Took my wife and nephew, drove three hours to Jersey, paid $90 to have him autograph a painting I spent about 50 hours painting, and he refused to even shake my hand.

Met Jay about 20 minutes from my house, had him sign a Sports Illustrated page with his picture on it, and he stood up, shook my hand and asked how my day was going.

That’s great. There is always someone hanging around there. Last time I was there Jay Novacek was filming some commercial. That guy could not have been more down to earth. I also met Emmitt Smith there once. He was a complete jerk.

Emmitt was? Interesting coz this isn't my first time hearing this but wasn't sure how legit.
