Emmit Smith retires
 

Hey Torn question for ya

Do you think he was the best all time being that he broke sweetness's record or is he just an ironman?

Behind Jim Brown and Barry Sanders, yes I think he was the best of all time.

He was good. Actually Emmit was great!

Best of all time? One of..

Considering the lack of an offensive line I think you'd have to put Barry Sanders in there. If he had the heart and didn't play on such a bad team (which just kills your desire) then he would challange Emmit for that record. Oh, Jim Brown too.

If Barry didn’t retire, Emmit would never have gotten the record.

Jim Brown was just a bad ass mofo....

~reads~

While I hate to see him go, I think it's time. And please, please, let him retire a Cowboy! It was all I could take to see him in a Cardinal uniform.

Good call with Brown, but Sanders had too many carries for losses imo.(he also would break a 50 yarder each game though)

Exactly as Ramster said, he had zero Offensive Line, had he the O line Emitt had his record would be so far out of reach no one would come close to it ever.

True

I guess he also ran out of singleback formation so no fullback to help either. I also would not dispute that he would have the record by now. It was all Bobby Ross's fault that he quit.

That is why I asked question, it is a great topic or debate.

Fuck! One less decent RB in the fantasy draft next year :D

Hey GG

If you don't mind me asking, what fantasy football draft were you in?

I have been in NFL.com for about 8 years now, even before they starting charging 15 bucks per team. I am in the NFL playoff one(salary cap 300 points) and in 7300 place.
Just cant see me making up 7000 spots with only 2 teams playing, oh well it is a blast anyway

tjchuck - Torn managed a few thru the board with webmasters & whatnot on ESPN & I'm also in a local league.

Any league is a good fantasy league when it comes to the almighty NFL.

Fuck, if I keep talking football and not doing any site building the wife will have me back to my old job and fast.

Trust me on this one GG, take Julius Jones. |thumb

in regards to FFL I have a few ideas I will discuss with others this weekend, but I know for sure I will be in at least 3 to 5 on ESPN, and I will be looking for others to join in June.

So we have plenty of time.

LOL.... this gets better on ABCnews.com which owns ESPN I found this....

i second the hope he retires a cowboy... the only thing worse than him going to arizona from here would be if he went to philly |cry|
