"I think it's his self-confidence in himself that make him so confident when it get down into the crunch time."

i know i'm a few days late, but this story made me very sad, as ESPN has decided to let America's favorite linguist go. watching Emmitt Smith on television these last two seasons has been a rare treat. his way with the spoken language is a thing of beauty. first ESPN took away our Irvin and now they've robbed us of Smith. how the fuck am i supposed to endure Chris Berman if their isn't an illiterate former Cowboy on the set to supply me some comedy relief? for shame.

Awful Announcing put together a list of his favorite Emmittisms. enjoy.



next Year KB and I are planning on starting a new fantasy football league that was inspired by Smith's famous "Rice Of Passage" line. thank you for all of your hard work Emmitt. you will be missed.
