No more Emmitt Smith on ESPN.

Just because someone can't talk outloud very well doesn't make them stupid.

 

Emmitt Smith is bad on TV because he stammers and studders each sentence. I know what he means when he starts to present a thought, but he gets ahead of himself.

 

An example: If Emmitt was trying to say that a guy is too slow he would often say "the guy is too sl . . . he's not fast enough."

 

Just say he's too slow before you say he's not fast enough.

 

If he would just slow down and stop replacing one action word with another action word in mid sentence, he'd be ok.

Similarly, just because someone has knowledge on a topic doesn't mean they should be put in front of a camera with a microphone.

That is some of the best news I have heard since the Hall of Fame list came out. Emmitt has done 3 things in his life 1. playing football which he was great at. 2. Ballroom dancing which he was good at, but not as good as he finished (he shouldn't have won) and 3. TV work of which he is terrible. He is a terrible speaker, always pronounces names wrong, more biased towards Dallas than Jerry Jones is, and it is obvious that his physical talents on the football field didn't transition to mental knowledge of the sport, because he is terrible. Now if we could only get Kornhieser off of Monday Night we would be making big progress.
