The Emmitt Smith Anthology - All of Emmitt's Quotes!

He's a true Ghetto fool .... lucky only because he was able to run .And proves in Texas all you need is skills to play ball...LOL

He's not the first player like that. There are plenty up north, too. And, he happens to be a very astute businessman and will never have to worry about going broke.

I'm sad I have but one bark to give for this article.

Have you guys ever thought that sometimes players do it on purpose? I mean Allen Iverson, Donovan McNabb, the Quan, Brian Dawks, Larry Fitz, Marvin Harrison, and a lot of players talk normally. AND MARVIN, man he is from the hood, and i ain't lying, he dont talk like no thug cus whities be trippin, he talks like a human being. I dont need to show off im from philly and i dont need to show off im ghetto, especially if im emmitt. i mean i might as well show off the bentley the gold ceilings and the rest, grow up and talk like men. You listen to hip hop but not rap. Like Talib and Nas said real ------ show theyre hood when its time fight when its time show the world that they child of night

"he don't talk like no thug cus whities be trippin" you are halarious. ROLMAO

Good one, Prince of Philly! And let's not forget STEPHEN A. SMITH and STUART SCOTT, actual BROADCASTERS (not ex-players-turned-broadcasters) of the said ESPN network. Wassup with their constant references to their OWN background? The loud-mouthed Smith (whom I really enjoy listening to, howev'a...) is often times borderline RACIST in the way he handles sports-related "race" matters (shoutout to Brett Favre, by the way!). As for Scott, beyond the fact that I'm usually distracted by the size of one of his eye over the other when I watch him on the tube, I think he overdoes the "show me some love!", his signature "BOO-YA!", etc. If I'm not mistaken, he's from Disney country (Orlando, FL). Is he REALLY "hood"? I see some reverse case of (Dallas-born) flash-in-the-pan rapper VANILLA ICE here...

Heck, maybe even TIGER WOODS, in an (unnecessary) attempt to be "cooler" will soon bring "da shiznit" into golf, considering he's now hangin' with... SNOOP DOGG! "Gimme dat Green Jacket, BIATCH!", "Golf gone wild, Volume 1"... LOL

What a COLOSSAL waste of time, Dude! I'll take the gramatically-challenged Emmitt and his three SB rings over any other similar athlete. Sure DAN (yawn) MARINO, for one, speaks a li'l better, but what does he REALLY bring to the CBS pre-game show? Not much. Ditto for SHANNON SHARPE, who by the way has just as serious a case of heavy sopken "Ebonics". I understand you only meant to have FUN with this, Dude, but you're hammering the wrong nail. To think that you watch Countdown with your clipboard and all, but mainly to keep score of your Emmitt quotes. In closing, do you lives in Mom's basement? I is just wonderings... :O

Emmit clearly learned to speak in the same institutions as President GW Bush. They both exhibit the same tendencies toward mangled pronunciations and incorrect subject-verb agreement. Maybe Emmit has a future as President (or maybe Dubbya has a future on ESPN's pre-game.)

He ain't the first football player that talks like that and he won't be the last.

I think my IQ actually went down reading that....

Thanks for the compilation. He's like Yogi Berra with a brain injury.

Ha ha. He the man. He don't have to go all up in the sentence structure to get that point across!! I don't think Emmit is doing it on purpose. Maybe he jus get too excited and sh@t. You know how that happens. AT LEAST he is not putting any semi-gay commentary in there. Next year I am going to write down all of the semi-to full gay references Peter King, Madden and all the other announces ACCIDENTALLY (but perhaps freudian?) say week by week in THEIR commentary!!

sorry not peter king..Bob Costas. I am drunk ha ha.

He's not good at it, that's for sure. Was just good at running through everyone's defenses.
