Brady is the best QB ever with Belichik best coach ever and Edelman best receiver ever.

Not tonight. Edelman's drop was a crusher. Like Jackie Smith's in the SB.

Irrelevant. The Pats couldn't do a damn thing against the Titans all night, after their trick play TD with Edelman early on.

Poor Jackie, folks still remember that one

I knew him as a boy

His little sister went to school with me at French and Hardy and he was a member of our deer camp in Tensas parish where he lived off season

I think his wife was from there near Newellton

He’s HOF but like now Edelman it was a pass he’d rather not have had bounce off his knee I think

The ball was quite low but he could have caught it for sure

Five time pro bowler

He punted too when called upon

Very nice modest guy

I was at Ole Miss then in an apartment with several ole miss players who were friends and everyone know that I knew Jackie and we were southern and so Cowboy fans

When that happened all my pals were like ....”man sorry for your friend people are gonna remember that one”

Yep

A lifetime ago

My last Jackie comments...lol

Landry when interviewed said

A) Jackie smith got them there called up out of retirement at 39 or 38?

B) Jackie still ran a 4.6 40 and had great hands usually

C) Landry and Roger said it was a difficult thrown pass

D) Landry and the team felt far worse for Jackie than they did losing the game and many told him he was why they were there in the first place

Landry famously did not suffer fools gladly so I lean to trusting his veracity

I also read Smith and his little wifey didn’t talk about it for years till he made HOF in 1994
