DMN Blog: ESPN shifting Emmitt Smith

[SportsAnalyzer]

Woodson studders? I haven't noticed.

My bad, I thought you were talking about Emmit

Oh he takes it beyond Romo... Romo's just his latest target. Emmitt the player... love him. Emmitt the commentator... can't stand him. I separate the two.

Just because he doesnt suck up to everything Cowboys, doesnt make him bitter. It's hilarious when people call the likes of Aikman and Emmitt bitter cause they dont praise everything the Cowboys do or defend every controversial incident involving them. Their job is to be impartial and when they see the Boys doing something they dont like, particurally Emmitt, they show their emotions cause they're still fans.

Actually, I don't see Aikman as the bitter type (but he was many moons ago, he just got over it).. so let's just hold off on the presumptions, shall we?

Emmitt is the same guy who said, "[my last year with the Cowboys] was the worst year I ever went through playing football... It felt like being a diamond surrounded by trash."

Sounds a little bitter to me... please don't get me started with another string of Emmitt quotes... which I have no problem listing here. Last time I listed Emmitt quotes, the Emmitt faithful got pretty upset, so I'll just save it for another day.

Let's also not forget that he picked Dallas to win every single week.

Well that's just being smart, I also picked the Patriots to win every week and I hate them.

 

[The Panch]

So because he had the audacity to diss a team that was on it's third straight season of going 5-11, that makes him bitter? The audacity of such bitterness.

What you did was smart, what he did was stupid

He was being a die hard Boy. Even Tom Jackson called him out on his Cowboy bias for picking em in WK #17 in a game Washington needed and they didnt.

Well when you are getting paid to be a analyst, you can make it obvious that you are a diehard cowboys fan. I actually was hoping he would be fired. Instead of Monday Night Countdown he should be on Tuesday Night Countdown

Come on now, I actually picked us in week 17 because I thought we'd actually come out and try harder than we did. I kind of figured we'd come out at half-speed, but I sincerely thought it would be enough to get the W... and I for one am no silly fanboy... I actually use reason to base my decisions upon. If we suck, I am the first one screaming about it.

But it's a big difference, ESPN wasn't paying you to make a prediction on the game like they were doing with Emmit.

This conversation has run it's course in my opinion. We all know how the other person feels when it comes to Emmitt. I won't be able to insult his lack of English skills on national television because he's not getting another gig like that anytime soon, so no one will have to be angry with me. See? We can all smile and be happy now. L'Chaim.

for emmitt, it wasn't charisma, charm, or knowledge...it is his speech. if he can get his speech fixed, he will be a fine analyst. he has everything else down pat.

ESPN is stupid though, cause they keep going through person after person lately and not allowing the analyst team to build a chemistry like that of FOX.

Well Chris Carter is Solid Enough to be on Sunday Countdown for a long time
