Emmit Smith

[Valerie]

Yesterday, even though the Cowboys sucked , Emmit surpassed Walter Payton in rushing yards with 3,839! :) I know you guys don't like the Cowboys, but Emmit is a decent guy and he should be congratulated for this accomplishment! :)

Go Emmit!

[casdhf]

He's all washed up

[justasportsfan]

Barry Sanders was better

[THATHURMANATOR]

So was Thurman!

[SABURZFAN]

Emmitt who??????

[LtBillsFan66]

Nope. He broke the record for ATTEMPTS, not YARDS!

[Valerie]

You guys all suck! Emmit is a damn good player! And, he's one of the few Cowboys who's actually not a criminal! Troy, Emmit and Tom Landry were all good guys.

And, if all those other guys are so great, how come they haven't beat Walter's record? :)

[THATHURMANATOR]

Because they didn't want to make spectacles of themselves and hold out just for some personnal record. If Barry wanted to he would have broken the record 3 seasons ago but he wasn't about that unlike Emmitt and his stupid 10 10 220 commercials!

Emmitt is washed up and should have retired 2 years ago.

The bills should try to ask Sanders to come out of retirement. jk.

Emmit was great when he had a OL that could part the Red Sea better than Moses could. Sanders never had an OL and retired early Jaded.

Sorry J7...Emmitt is a classy guy but he isn't even the 5th best RB ever...imho.

[LtBillsFan66]

Emmit's record of attempts coming before the record of yards just proves that Payton (RIP) is/was a better RB. Emmit is definitely one of the greats though.

[Valerie]

Well, duh. Obviously if you have a good team you'll be able to excel at your position. I can't believe you guys are so negative. Emmit is a good player and personally, I think he should be congratulated for his accomplishment.

And don't tell me about old, washed up guys who should've retired. There are a lot of old guys out there who should've retired, but they keep playing. And in fact, a lot of them aren't even able to stay with their original team. They're traded or released (Jerry Rice, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Joe Montana, just to name a few). At least Emmit has been with the Cowboys his whole professional career. That in itself is a huge feat! :)

[LtBillsFan66]

Only Bruce Smith should be on that list of should have retired. Rice is still pretty good. TT and Montana left before they really hit the decline. Maybe TT held on a little too long.

[THATHURMANATOR]

THURMAN??? NEVER!!!!!!!!

Emmitt Smith has no class .. sure now that he is at the end of his carreer he is trying to act like more of a man but what about all the years in the early 90's where he had to take his helmet off everytime he scored a TD .. the guys not crap without Troy and Michael Irvin around. I think its a crying shame that he will one day break Paytons record. Payton was class .. Smith is just an ass !!
