Emmitt to retire?

[Thomas82]

Emmitt didn't make the announcement...ESPN said they believed he would make it. They also said this last year...

Emmitt has said all along he is going to try and get 20000 yards.

Oh and Barry Sanders was a gutless puss who gained more yards running backwards and towards the sidelines than he did running forward.

Jimmy Johnson, who recruited Barry and coached Emmitt, said it the best: if he wanted to sell tickets he'd get Barry Sanders, if he wanted to win Superbows he'd get Emmitt Smith.

End of argument...you don't have jack except a 2000 yard season to hang your Barry was better argument on...

And if you think Barry would have gone on to get 18k yards you are on crack...Barry was a speed based running back...once his speed left him he was done, and it wasn't going to last much longer.

You are a loser brewski..I feel more confident than ever about Parker's future now...because you don't know what the you are talking about.

Barry was tackled more times behind the line of scrimmage than any running back in history.

He was an all or nothing running back, he might get you 86 yards on 1 carry, or he might get tacked behind the line of scrimmage 4 consecutive times...this was his style, it was his style whether holes were being opened for him or not.

What he could never do, and what Emmitt could do...was control the clock and rack up first downs...with vision that was second to none...that earned a lot of his O lineme trips to the Pro-Bowl.

None of those guys...Nate Newton, Tueni, Gesek...those guys were scrubs that couldn't even spell Pro Bowl on a line that wasn't blocking for Emmitt Smith...none of those mofos except Gogan, Allen, and maybe Williams were without Emmitt, those mofos were the same guys that gave up an NFL record in sacks in 1990, they were the same guys that rendered Tony Dorsett and Herchel meaningless ...Emmitt saw holes before they were there, he made his o lone better, he was a big game back, he was tought, he was driven to win and be the best like no other, he could burn yards, he could block, he also got stronger as the game went on and was likely to break a big one the more carries he got.

Barry's 100 yard games had zero impact on whether or not his team won the game...the Cowboys were nigh invincible when Emmitt got 100 or 20 carries...and Barry is the guy that got held to negative total yardage in a playoff game and the next week Emmitt busted the same team up for 150 yards...the first 100 yard game against them that season.

Emmitt>Barry

Barry=heartless and he knew it....he quit on his team.

Finally somebody who sees it the same way I do.
