Emmit Sucked soooooo bad at announcing that.....

Ladies and gentleman, you won't have Emmitt Smith to kick around any more. As was reported in the Forth Worth Star-Telegram this weekend, Smith will not return to ESPN next fall. ESPN "let his contract expire" which is media-speak for "dude got canned." He was the worst of a bad bunch, to be sure. But whereas the others had no self-awareness as to their terribleness, you always got the sense that Emmitt knew he was in over his head. And that made his foibles, mixed metaphors, non-sequiters and blank stares all the more endearing. He was like watching a train wreck, if the train was full of illegal fireworks.


Luck is for the ill prepared
