DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum Emmitt Smith fired from ESPN

Emmitt Smith is out as an ESPN NFL analyst after two seasons with the network, ProFootballTalk.com reports.

The network does not plan a formal announcement about the move.

Smith, the NFL's all-time leading rusher, received overwhelmingly negative reviews for his on-air work.

"We thank Emmitt for his contributions to ESPN and work ethic the past two years," ESPN spokesman Bill Hofheimer told PFT via e-mail. "We wish him all the best."

I didn't realize how bad he was until I saw this video!

Sounds like he got debacled?

Great running back, not so great analyst. Hoping and praying he finds a good job as coaching as I think he could be a good one. Not every player is cut out to be a analyst no matter what their on the field credentials were. You have to have something to keep people watching and paying attention.

CBS is # 1 right now, NBC's pregame is getting a little too crowded. Fox hasn't been the same without James Brown. ESPN needs to streamline their broadcast team, the NFLNetwork needs to pick one team and stick with them..
