Emmitt Smith Quotes (1 Viewer)

If you remember, have searched, or have heard Emmitt Smith say completely idiotic things on ESPN during his reign, post his quotes here.

 
When I was hungry, I ate. When I was tired, I slept. When I had to.......you know........I went.

 
Smith: "Know what Boom, the words of a good friend Isaac Holt used to say back with the Cowboys, 'I don't believe fat meat is greasy.' So disregard the seven losses that every home team has had this year. I'm going with the Steelers tonight."

Young: "What in the world? I don't know what that means."

Wow. I absolutely have to see the video of that.
 
I wouldn't necessarily classify it as stupid, but did anyone else suffer the misfortune of sticking around the MNF telecast long enough to hear Emmitt offer Adrian Peterson, during post game interview, the "opportunity to ask a former great NFL RB and record-holder any question he'd like to ask for advice." I wish I was making that up.

I always found this funny....

YOUNG EXPOSES EMMITT AS A HOMER

In a weekly radio spot on KNBR in San Francisco, ESPN's Steve Young disclosed that on-air partner Emmitt Smith was openly rooting for the Cowboys during Monday night's come-from-behind win against the Bills.

Here's what Young had to say about Emmitt's behavior late in the contest.

"He's sitting next to me," Young said, "and we're watching the end of the game, and he's like -- he's like dying. You know, they lose the two-point conversion that got knocked down and he's like, 'Oh! Oh! What now?' And I'm like, 'Dude, you know you played for the Cardinals in between? It's okay, you'll be all right.'

"When they kicked that field goal [to win the game]," Young added. "He went running out on the field."

So much for objectivity.

But, in fairness to Young, he wasn't complaining about Emmitt.

"It didn't bother me," Young said. "I chuckled."

And, in our view, Young uses "chuckle" in the condescending sense. As in "poor, pitiful, misguided Emmitt, who still thinks he's on the team even though they ran him out of town when they decided that he no longer had it."

Wow. The guy is an obvious moron. Did he actually say the word "Dont" without using an apostrophe? Wouldn't that require some talent?

Zarrabi's quote is more like what he was wanting to say. However, when trying to quote Jim Valvano's famous line, he instead said, "Never quit... don't even quit."

This is my personal favorite. This was his advice to the Cowboys right around week 6:

"If you want to stay perfect, you cannot go undefeated with a blemish on your record."

This one's good too:

"The Dallas Cowboys are not far behind, they are a distant third, they're close but they're not quite there yet."

I don't expect Emmitt to be back. It's a shame really. He actually has good insights, he is just unable to express them coherently on the air.

Does anyone remember Eric Dickerson on MNF? He is lucky that youtube wasn't around back then. Those would be some classics to see.

 
A friend of mine can't wait until the ESPN crew has to travel to Green Bay for a winter playoff game and listen to Emmitt try to talk with his mouth frozen.

 
When the Cards were about to play the Seahawks for the second time this season Emmitt said "They have beaten the Seahawks at least once this year"
