Bye Bye Emmitt

So the suits at ESPN have decided that NFL all-time leading rusher Emmitt Smith will not return for a third season as an NFL analyst.

Maybe this will be a lesson for any television executive who thinks that just because you decide to bring in an A-Level athlete, he/she will work out. How many times have we seen NFL legends try a second career in television and fail? Hmmm...Marcus Allen, Ronnie Lott, George Seifert to name a few...

Add the former Cowboy great to that list.

Have any of you ever listend to Emmitt speak? Seriously. Take a listen and decide for yourself.

At least he's got the Just For Men commercials to fall back on.
