Dante Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 While I agree Smith's football accomplishments are astounding, as a person, he is an !@#$! I met him in Hawaii for a pro-bowl and I personally witnessed him cussing at fans and children alike telling them that "I don't sign f-ing autograph's, if you want one go online and buy one." Yeah, real class act. 227980[/snapback] Not saying this issnt true. He may indeed be a crappy person but on the field is all Ive seen and in that regard he is a true professional.

You can't be great on the field and a prick off the field. Just my opinion but from what I witnessed ES is and always will be a two faced jerk.

Pete Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Emmit. How is Emmit classy? I remember him turning around and waving good bye to a linebacker as he scored a TD. Thats a punk move. What has Emmit done that is classy? Derek Brooks is classy. Warrick Dunn is classy. Emmit is nowhere near their class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 What has Emmit done that is classy? 228145[/snapback] I remember him taking his helmet off in the end zone after scoring a TD against us in the Super Bowl, then the league passing a rule the next year making that classless move illegal. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Emmitt.

By comparison, there are lot more people on those SB teams I would call classless before him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gantrules Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I have a hard time defining someone I don't even know as "classy" or "unclassy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash2Burn Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-e...ov=ap&type=lgns What an ego on this guy retiring during Super Bowl week. He can't wait until next Tuesday to call it quits after the season is done. Talk about trying to steal the spotlight. 227557[/snapback] This is the second post like this I've see this week, and I just don't get it. SuperBowl week is like the NFL's national convention and it has become someting of a forum for star players to announce their retirement at. The national media is all in one place, the country is talking NFL football 24/7 and a lot of players from around the league are in town. It's a great time/place/opportunity for Emmitt (the all-time leading rusher) to call it quits. How many more Pat-Eagles stories can we handle anyway. Good for ES, he was a great player and I wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard enough of that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
