Emmitt Smith Rips the 2009 Dallas Cowboys

Emmitt trading in football cleats for ballerina slippers?

Recently Emmitt Smith ripped this years Dallas Cowboys, but know one will hear it on television, because his stint with ESPN already ended in failure. The reason for this failure is because Smith has yet to master the spoken English language, or the fact that leopards don’t have stripes. You can read his top 20 stupid quotes at the the Fed Online. The only people that will here Emmit’s rant will be anyone that heard him on his preseason radio tour.

What happened to the Emmitt Smith we all know and love?
Most likely Emmitt’s pride is hurt from the failure of his television career, and now he is resorting to being a radio shock jock so that he can regain relevance in the media. Most players reserve negative comment about their former franchise, but I guess when you realize that your media career is over you will do or say anything. Below are Emmitt’s comments that appeared on NBC Sports – Pro Football Talk:

Emmitt Smith’s on the Cowboys Records
“Realistically, I think that the Cowboys can win seven games,”

“I mean, when I start hearing things are going to change, I keep asking myself as a player, how much are they going to change? Are you going to be a hard-nosed coach now since things are going to change? Are you going to be more focused than you were last year? Those kind of things, I’m like, c’mon. This is not a game where you can just turn it on and turn it off.”

Emmitt Smith on Cowboys #1 Wide Receiver Roy Williams
“The question is, can Roy step up and be what they need him to be?” Emmitt said. “I don’t know. I don’t know if it’s possible. . . . I do not see him as a No. 1. I never have saw him as a No. 1. Never have. When I say No. 1, I mean your No. 1 go-to guy. He’s not your No. 1 go-to guy.”

Emmitt Smith on Tony Romo
“[W]hen you have your offseason and you say things are going to change and you’ve never been that dominant personality or in that leadership position then, as a player, you lose me,” Emmitt told Adam Schein and Rich Gannon. “You lost me. I’m sitting there saying, ‘OK, now you’re going to become a leader?’ What happened when we had all this great talent over here and we had a chance to go, not only in the playoffs, but in the first round of the playoffs when we got knocked out both times? Now all of a sudden you’re going to change? And our talent level is less than it was two years ago? How much better can we be?”

Emmit Smith Padding his Stats in Arizona

So Emmitt thinks that the Cowboys will be 7-9, that could happen and only time will tell if it will, but to rip Tony Romo and Roy Williams is laughable. Remember this is coming from a guy who was willing to turn his back on teammates when he held out for more money, and also went to a Arizona to pad his stats at the end of his career. So I guess the fact that he would rip his former team to further his failure of a career in the media should come as no surprise to Dallas Sports Fans.
