EMMITT TO GET EVEN MORE EXPOSURE?

quote:
Liz Mullen of Sports Business Journal reports that Emmitt Smith and his wife have signed with IMG for representation "individually and as a pair."

Smith is the NFL's all-time leading rusher, but (in our view) he also is the all-time worst athlete-turned-high-profile-broadcaster. We're not sure what "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" plan to do together, but we hope that it has less and less to do with football and the discussion thereof.

And since Emmitt apparently thinks he's actually good on television, he might be under the impression that he can become, say, an actor.

The Smiths apparently hope to capitalize on Emmitt's victory in Dancing with the Stars. Emmitt already has parlayed that success into a role as pitchman for the Arthur Murray Dance Studios.

But how long can the fading fumes of a victory in a popular series that continues to crank out new winners last? Emmitt needs to find another way to make a name for himself, or the star will quickly fade.


Worse than Theisman?
It pays to be bad.

Theisman gets annoying because he talks too much. Emmitt can't string two sentences together without looking like a fool. They're bad in different ways.

Emmitt will be given a chance to develop as a broadcaster because of his reputation as a good guy and he doesn't have any baggage like his former teammate Michael Irvin.

Agreed that his ability to enunsiate makes his anaylis sound bad, but it appears as if he does his homework. Even though he was a Cowboy, I always liked him as a football player, but this is not his forte. Although I'd rather have to listen to him that Irvin.

Also, I thought he never should have got past the first week of Dancing with the somewhat stars. If he ran the football as stiff as he danced he would have been another Barty Smith.

I, too, like Emmitt very much as a person. He is a class act. But as a broadcaster, he's downright painful to listen to. It's not that Smith isn't intelligent, it's that I think sometimes he has a problem articulating what he's trying to get across. He almost seems like he's trying to overcompensate.

He will never be the worst though. I still recall Eric Dickerson on Monday Night Football....the phrase "ya, I's ready" still rings in my ears!

The thing I like about Emmitt, is he isnt afraid to speak his mind. He steps on a lot of toes.
