Emmitt Smith Attacks Me! Me! Me!

hey i love emmitt smith. i watched an entire season of dancing with the stars with my wife rooting for him, on MONDAY NITE!!!!!!! his loyalty to the cowboys i have never questioned. his like for jerry jones is in question though. as well as aikman's. they're cowboys forever. but they both may not be big jerry jones fans. remember jerry left both of them go before before they wanted to. he said it was purely from a business standpoint. now when aikman or emmitt can critisize jerry from purely a "business" standpoint, they do. so take it with a grain of salt.......but i'm a cowboy fan and i'm not always happy with what i "HEAR" from owens, but i'm frickin happy ass hell with what i see he can do on the field. i welcome talent like that to the cowboys. go get em terrell.............and adam jones, tank johnson, and anyone else thats willing to put the bullshit behind em. i think the real success of troubled players coming here and turning around is the greatness of the cowboy organization itself. we have a chance to win big here , and anyone that comes thru them doors can see it!!!! that motivates more than any thing else. winning, it's what all players want. it breeds pride, guts, and giving everything on every play. look at what brought farve back to the nfl......it's better then any drug or high these guys can find......it's the pinicle of their careers. mcnabb would give a testicle, hell maybe both, for that super bowl loss to be a win......thats why it's different here. thats why owens is the way he is. his window is closing fast and he wants to win now. we have all the tools in place and he's frustrated when it don't hit. the last thing i ever want to see out of him is a smile after a loss. thats when it's over

lmao because clearly they're paying emmitt for his excellence in journalism....

he's paid because of who he is and how recognizeable he is. If he wants to show loyalty he can nobody cares about it except the haters which all the reason i hope he promotes them more.

I wasn't really referring to you Joseph, but I apologize for the use of the term "bandwagoner." Your alliegiance to the Cowboys is beyond question.
However, I don't think that Emmett Smith, Aikman or any other announcer has any business worrying about loyalty to the Cowboys when they're in the booth. That not what the networks are paying them for.

damn right there Joseph...... i could'nt have said it better myself..... i'm sick and tired of everything owens does is so completely scrutinized by the "so called press". every asshole that has an opinion, thinks he knows someyhing about owens and the cowboys. well i respect emmitt, aikman, and any anouncer that has the credentials of the hall of fame. but i also see that in their attempt not to look bias to the general public, they too have become over-critical of each and everything owens says or does. i'll tell you as a real fan of the dallas cowboys, that i see owens as one hell of a talent and the #1 weapon we have. he talks, but he backs up every word that comes from his mouth. in my opinion, he is the best overall WR in the game today, and one of the top 5 alltime. he is a workout warrior, and leaves everything on the field. he does'nt take plays off, he tackles, blocks, decoys, and flat out lays it out on the field. he wants the ball in big games, hell he wants the ball all the time.....and the way he's produced over the years, why the hell would'nt you get it to him.....OFTEN???? i ain't no bandwagoner, i'm diehard. i once hated owens, but i always admired his talent. i thought he was a problem child, but now realize how much he wants to win. i would'nt want him to be any other way. do any of you real cowboy fans take a loss lightly????? then why can't we understand when owens goes off after a loss. to me it's obvious he does'nt take a loss well either. i'm glad he's a cowboy, and if romo has a bad game, it's nice to know owens will stick up for him, but he'll tell him what he needs to do to win the next one too. thats what he's gettin paid for, and i think he's earning it. i like terrell owens period.............davedallasfan

There isn't any need to question my allegiance to the Cowboys, Fred. You calling me a bandwagoner without knowing what type of fan I am, doesn't dismiss my opinion.

Maybe Emmitt doesn't like him because, unlike you bandwagoners, he still remembers how Owens danced all over your beloved star.

Another thing on Emmitt. Emmitt says that these types of issues should be discussed with the coach in a private manner. Emmitt Smith is a Dallas Cowboy fan, and obviously is a passionate supporter. So, why in the HELL, would he contribute to this "controversy" on live television. Why is he stirring the pot?

I'll tell you why, because he has an enormous ego, just like Terrell Owens does. Emmitt feels the need to criticize Owens because he wants to be a part of the situation and be involved again. Doing what right is going and talking to the man you have a problem with. You're a Cowboy legend, you have the authority to seek out a player.

He can't step back and reach out to Owens on the phone. He can't meet up with Owens for lunch and let Owens vent to him, or offer any support. I know he works for ESPN, and it's his job to offer criticism, but come on! You're contributing to the ''controversy" by opening your mouth too on TV! Save what you want to say to Owens in private, and tell him to his face like a man.

I like davedallasfan. And Emmitt, what the hell is a true cowboy? The rest of the team Owens is on hasn't won shit either.

I don't know if the rest of you have realized this, but Emmitt and Troy are not too fond of Owens. Aikman made a smartass remark in the booth, because Owens was given praise by Joe Buck for chasing down the interception return by the Green Bay defender last week. Aikman says:

"Isn't that what he's paid to do?"

No shit, Aikman. The whole point of that clip is to show the other things that Owens does on the field. It shows that Owens is a very competitive and a team player on the field, despite what you hear in the press. It was a damn good play and it deserves to be replayed and Owens was rightfully lauded for it.

when you got both of the starting corners playing hurt or out for most of the second half of the game, WHY THE FUCK WOULD'NT YOU NOT TRY TO KEEP THROWIN TO OWENS???????? thats what owens was trying to say at the press conference. when you have an oportunity like that you take it. we have the weapons and our offence is built on that........we just did'nt hit on all the cylindars. what if owens scores 2 or 3 times in the second half. would we be having all this shit? no, the cowboys we're trying to exploit a injury weakness....and missed. owens knew this and said so, so now he's a ball hog........wake up people

i still feel the only reason they tried to get owens the ball was because of the injuries in the redskin secondary. they ain't tryin to keep him happy or any of that bullshit. he's their playmaker. he needs the ball for us to win. but barber and felix have got to be used as a counter attack. then the safties have to playup and open the middle for witten. now when witten has double coverage,  and a speed guy like austin can take one corner down field? bingo=owens has single coverage, and 9/10 he wins that matchup. thats what we did'nt do. we run in this offence to do just that. we ARE NOT A RUN ORIENTED offence. we use the stability of the run to open the passing lanes. have any of you guys that continue to bitch about the lack of running we did even frickin understand our offensive scheme, or do you just go after owens and the coaching staff like the press seem to do. understand what we try to do as a team, before you bash the shit out of them. the only mistake i see the cowboys making was licking their chops at the secondary of the skins and jumping too much on the mismatches without capitolizing on them. that again was due to the great play of the redskin D. don't play my shit redkin guy, cause you damn well know i'm one of the only ones that are right on this one. with the injuries you guys had out there in the second half we should have blew your asses out of the water, but we did'nt. that should be the real story here, not that owens said he did'nt get the ball enough, cause he's right=he DID"NT

eh i'd still rather watch a cowboy in that seat than some redskin plus just remember we have to listen to kornheiser and jawz for the game...... so it can get worse than emmitt

DDF, you could argue that they DID try to force feed TO the ball, bending over backwards to give him touches and to look his way to such an extent that MBIII and Felix Jones became invisible.  This is, in fact, a popular theory on why Dallas lost the game.  Perhaps if they weren't so worried about keeping TO happy and had been a little more concerned with moving the chains, things would have been different.

They were so overconfident that they could get a big play that they forgot about everything else and ended up losing. 

So I say let's not fight over this; let's compromise.  BOTH TO and EMMITT are bitches! :)

What a glorious week.  Ahhh.

owens is a competitor..period. he is one of the greatest wrs in the game today or ever for that matter. GIVE HIM THE DAMN BALL!!!!!!!!!!! why is it so hard for any of us to take that. i would try to get him the frickin ball 30 times a game if it would help me win. would anyone argue the fact that a great rb needs 20-25 carries a game to get productive #'s in most cases. then why not force feed your #1 weapon. get it to him 20-25 times a game. i guarntee if he got it that much he and most importantly WE would be successful. he has scored what 30 tds in what 35 games for us. hell thats on emmitt smith's level. SO WHAT the F$%& is the problem. smith would have whined like i little baby bitch if he would'nt have gotten the ball. and rightfully so. we won with him. owens will bitch too when he don't get it. WHY???????? because we win when he does. WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE........... man i'm pissed at this shit already. dave goldberg shot his dumbass off about it too, and it burns my ass, get him the damn ball. run barber, pass to owens and witten, and sneak felix the ball 6-10 times a game......YOU WIN

We all love TO on our team. But I do not why he says some things when he cannot get separation or hang on the the ball? he cannot blame the offense for THAT.
