Emmit is a Soldier. I cant think of a runningback who deserves it more.

Kudos.

And he is a [real] Christian.

Well, if someone had to take the record it might as well be Emmitt Smith. He's no Sweetness, but he's darned close. And for the record that is the first and last time I will ever say anything good about the goddam Dallas Cowboys.

My top 5 all-time NFL running back rankings:

1) Gale Sayers
2) Jim Brown
3) Walter Payton
4) Emmitt Smith
5) O.J. Simpson

Never sold out to drugs,booze,cheating,got his degree,christian,and is the best running back to hit the field. Just watch as another record falls in 2 games.

Cowboy fan of 25 years....even in another loss at least this came out of the darkness. I hope Emmitt stays on for another year and secures the record some more.

If Sweet's record was to be surpassed I'm glad it was by a good guy like Emmitt.

Emmitt is the best. Glad to see that Moose was there to be a part of it as well. Many of thse yards Emmitt racked up were done on the heels of Moose.

Emmitt is a class act. Congratulations #22!

Emmitt has been pure greatness his entire career with the Cowboys. He has been a true warrior and a fierce competitor. He deserves all the kudos being directed his way.

I lost a bit of respect for him, though, this past spring during the primary season, when I received recorded messages from Emmitt asking me to vote for Ron Kirk for U.S. Senate. (How the Dems had my number is another story-I've never voted in a Dem primary in my life) I was disappointed, but not really surprised.

Nonetheless, he has been a truly great player. His bust will be in Canton, and his name will be on the Cowboys' Ring of Honor at Texas Stadium.

If Walter Payton's record had to be broken, I'm glad it could be a guy like Emmitt Smith doing it. Emmitt is a class act, a lot like Walter. Let's hope Walter saw it happen.

Congrats to my fellow Gator Emmitt Smith. Now if only he could play QB cause the Cowboys sure don't have one.
