Jerry Jones, that miserable Clinton-loving owner of the Dallas Cowboys, should NEVER have traded Emmett Smith. He should have allowed him to retire gracefully. Hopefully, he will allow that now.
I'm a dyed in the wool Cowboy fan, having grown up decorating the old practice field on Forest Lane when the likes of Staubach, et al, played. I remain eternally committed to Tom Landry, the essence of what Dallas once stood for -- America's Team, the greatness of dignity and determination and diligence.
Sadly, Jerry Jones and his ilk are a sad replacement. We Dallas fans can NEVER forgive Jones for firing Landry in the press before telling him in person. Quite frankly, we cannot abide his firing of Landry at all.
Jerry Jones is a sniveling SOB. He has ruined my Cowboys. I remain a Cowboys fan but I am loathe to praise Jones in any way whatsoever. I remian loyal to the Landry Era. I will NEVER buy into the Jones idiocy.
Emmett Smith is a fantastic running back who is an honor to the Cowboy name. He was "disinherited" by Jones -- just another example of Jones' desire to put himself above the honor of the past.
God bless you, Emmett Smith - you are a Cowboy in ever sense of the word.
How about that cowboy!
thanks emmitt.

"Did you enjoy those three Super Bowls? I hope you did!"
Well, he didn't trade Emmitt. Emmitt was released after Coach Parcells decided that he didn't fit into the game plan anymore. As I recall, Jones was the one hesitant to do so. Furthermore, I respect Coach Landry, and hate the way he was dismissed, but Jones did bring in Jimmy Johnson, resulting in the three Super Bowls in the 90's. And, yes, he did bring in three successive coaches (Switzer, Gailey, and Campo) who were there to do his bidding and nothing more, but he recognized that he couldn't keep doing that and brought in Parcells. So he hasn't been all bad.
Then Dan Reeves last one to wear a tie on the sidelines.
Only one left wearing a tie now is in college, JoePa.
