Dickerson To Zeke: "I'm glad you didn't break my record."

[Bowdown27]

He's a bitter old rb can't blame him for wanting to keep his record in tact. Hell we want emmitt record to stay in tact forever so I get Dickerson point. Now if Zeke can break single season rushing record then he gets laugh last

Of course we want Emmitt's record to stand....and you can be 10000% sure that Emmitt does too. The one exception might be if one of "our own" breaks it....as in Zeke.

They were just having fun. Just banter.
Also, if Elliott said he was coming after Dickerson's single season record, that's the same fun/competitive and harmless mindset.

Obviously championships count the most.
But players enjoy their records.

In all my life following football, I can never recall someone who kept up with his numbers more than Emmitt. He cared greatly about getting rushing titles, and especially the all time record.
Didnt mean championships werent the top priority.
He was still an incredible winner.

...but Dickerson neither said those comments towards Elliott nor to the interviewer in the video. What Dickerson did say in the video was that he didn't want anyone breaking his records. Additionally, he stated that to the interviewer and not to Elliott.

Context should matter if people are going to react emotionally to something someone says or does.

Oh, I agree.

Looks like another writer taking liberty with the facts? Unless Im missing more details.
Then readers taking it as fact--and quick to call a Hall of Fame NFL player a loser--based on words not even said

There used to be a time when practically all media outlets matched their headlines with their content. Nowadays, a significant number of media sources does exactly what the National Enquirer once did--published flashy headlines that weakly supported the information they made available to the public.

It's important that viewers and readers watch and read the content media sources provide. Unfortunately, they know "enough" of their audience only cares for a headline, soundbite or tweet. That expectation is especially true of media sources who depend on sensationalism as their marketing engine.

He followed it up by saying, "I hope you never do". I personally want to see Zeke break his single-season record one day, but I understand why Eric Dickerson wants to keep his records. He doesn't have any rings, so without those records he would have nothing. Here's the link to the video:

I could care less about Zeke breaking records as long as he lands rings.

I believe he can do both.

What record did Emmitt break of Jim Brown's?

Jim Brown's record of12,312 was the record and the standard by which all RBs were measured. Walter Payton broke it. Emmitt surpassed them both and is now the all time leader.

Does it really matter if I said Sweetness or Jim Brown? My point remains.

 

[Texas_Pete]

Petty yes, pathetic? No

His talent was terrific. His attitude towards this team game, at least in my eyes is pathetic.

Hate on brother.

I bet Emmitt doesnt want a non Cowboy breaking his record either.
Not that any of them would be traumatized by it.

Whatever though. If you think Dickersons some terrible guy for wanting to keep a record, thats your right.

I don't hate anybody. And I liked watching Dickerson as a player. I just disagree with him beating a dead horse and trying to remain relevant.

 

[Rockdoc]

if you have heard enough of Dickerson, you can tell that his record = his relevance (in his mind)

 

[jimmy40]

Yes they are 100% true. He has a history with the Cowboys.

you mean being the most dominating player vs the Cowboys ever history?

 

[jimmy40]

nobody wants their records broken,nobody from Dickerson to Emmitt to George Costanza playing Frogger.

I think he holds the single season record in higher regard.
Only seven 2000 yard rushers.
The one that stands out is OJ's--which was done in a 14 game season.

 

[knightrider94]

I hope Zeke gets his single season record next year and one of the rookies (Cook or Fournette) break the rookie record.

I hope the Cowboys are smart enough not to run Zeke into the ground.

 

[Thomas82]

Yes......that, plus a strong hate of the Cowboys.

 

[knightrider94]

I hope the Cowboys are smart enough not to run Zeke into the ground.

I think they Cowboys are smart when it comes to Zeke's carries (maybe a little too smart at times: No runs in Week 16, limited carries in the Packers game).

If some of his longer runs with questionable holding penalties would have stood, he would have had the rookie record.

Plus, I want to see Dickerson cry. Sorry, but he is very unlikeable.

 

[ksadler1]

Everyone knows (including Dickerson) that Zeke would have easily crushed his record if Zeke had played the entire last 3 games. But coulda, woulda, shoulda is all we'll ever have. Zeke will eventually have SEVERAL things Dickerson will never have and would gladly trade that record for.....
