re: Emmitt Smith....

Here is an excerpt from the book about the Cowboys 90's teams. Even his teammates said the dude was an utter douchebag. "From Boys Will Be Boys":
quote:
Teammates were torn. Some loved Smith for his toughness. Others resented him for his selfishness and arrogance. He often refused to sign autographs. He would walk past fellow Cowboys without saying a word. When teammates opened their Christmas gift from Smith, they were less-than-shocked to uncover a copy of his own autobiography. Aikman gave golf clubs, Irvin gave bubbly, Smith gave "The Emmitt Zone"? Emmitt would score a touchdown from the two-yard-line, keep the football and sell it at his souvenir shop back home in Pensacola, says Dale Hansen, the Cowboys radio announcer. I thought that was both odd and selfish. Cornerback Clayton Holmes never forgot an incident that took place during the after-party following Super Bowl XXVII, when he approached Smith about signing an autograph for his mother, Claudia. Man, I ain't signing shite! Smith barked. If I sign that, I have to to sign for everybody else in here. Holmes mother was standing nearby, mortified and embarrassed. Emmitt has those moments, says Holmes. And you just think, ˜Why be like that? Why?

I've heard Emmitt is a complete douche from people around here in Dallas. I could care less though. He was a hell of a RB and even better source of comedy.
I know a couple of people that have met him and they all said that he was not only nice, he acted like he was genuinely interested in them.
These guys are human.

How do you not love JJ, man I need a blue suit like that.

He seemed pretty genuinely happy to see his old high school teammates on the Homecoming show this afternoon.
I'm sure he's mellowed out some since his early days as a star, or last figured out you need to be nicer to people if you want to stay popular and make a good living once your playing career is done.

Holy crap I could have done without Jerruh Jones talking about "doing God's will."

So who did Emmitt pay to write this speech? This doesn't sound like Emmitt.

for real. I'm mad, but not Rag mad..

No it doesn't. Anyone who has seen him speak knows he's not the greatest with his words.
It's been a damn good speech so far and he's pulling it off great. I am impressed.

Do people really believe God predestined them to be good football players?
I wish God had predestined me to get laid tonight.

You're not a believer and therefore won't be blessed. Your attitude determines your blessings. Emmitt obviously had the right Christian attitude. Therefore he is up on that stage instead of you.

Yeah, he's been fighting it for a few minutes.
I thought they were all gonna lose it when he told Troy he didn't want to let him down.
