Jerry Jerk, er, Jones, has released the NFL's all-time leading rusher from the Dallas Cowboys. Players take note: this is how Jerry rewards your (well-paid) service to his organization. After 13 years, 3 Super Bowl wins, and the rushing title, Emmitt is now out in the cold. The only reason Jones kept Smith around for the 2002 season was so Number 22 would break the league rushing record in a Cowboys uniform; again, glorification for Jones' ego. In case you haven't guessed, I'm not a Cowboys fan, and have not been since we moved to Dallas. I remain, however, an Emmitt Smith fan, and I hope he gets what he wants: a shot at another Super Bowl as a team's number-one back. Everyone in Dallas will be in tears that Jerry let Emmitt go, but they'll spin it as simply a financial matter, that Smith is costing the team too much money. Jerry has long hinted that he doesn't think Emmitt has what it takes any more to be a number-one running back. Gee, Jerry, maybe if Emmitt had an offensive line that could block elderly grandmothers, much less Pro Bowl linebackers, that would've helped the past three seasons. And a quarterback that could throw accurately and consistently wouldn't hurt either.
