Happy Birthday Emmitt Smith!

I know I’m getting old when Emmitt Smith has turned 56. I can remember like it was yesterday when he showed in Dallas after being drafted as a 21 year old wearing that crazy outfit. Not in my wildest Cowboys dreams did I ever think he would be as good as he was.
 
Many try and give his great OL most of the credit for his success but go back look at how many defenders he ran over and all the tackles he broke. He came out of several piles to score TDs. Never saw a back who could slither through defenders and bounce off them like he could.
 
Is and will always be my GOAT at running back.

I don’t care about the Barry Sanders debate. Emmitt owns the top spot on the all-time rushing list.......and that ain’t just a stat, that’s a legacy.
Happy Birthday Emmitt Smith! :bow:

Aren’t we lucky to get to see both play back in the…. Barry was great too…
 
Happy Birthday! Can DAL get a 6th for him, and our alumni? It shouldn't take 30 damn years.
 
56??? Doesn't seem possible.


No, what doesn’t seem possible is that I’m 64. I lost some weight and got back into the gym, but I still had to get juiced from my doctor for 2 months to get a respectable bench press. If Ponce de Leon had only found that fountain of youth….
