<v Speaker 1>weighing two hundred and twenty one pounds. That's a big

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>boy for five mins.

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.599
<v Speaker 3>Gee, oh Molly, what are you? You're five to ten?

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 3>What playing weight? Man?

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I was big, though I was thick.

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he was even thicker, two set thick.

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>He played running back in the NFL, primarily for the

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Cowboys and later for the Arizona Cardinals. Drafted seventeenth

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>overall by the Cowboys in nineteen ninety from the University

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>of Florida, Smith quickly established himself as a durable, high

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>caliber player, known for his resilience and agility on the field.

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>He retired as an NFL's all time leading rusher with

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>eighteen three hundred and fifty five rushing yards, one hundred

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>sixty four touchdowns, and earning three Super Bowl.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 3>Rings, all with the Dallas.

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys, an MVP Award, and an induction into the Pro

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Football Hall of Fame.

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Was he first ballot? First ballot? Was he was? He

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 3>first ballot? For sure? He was one hundred have been.

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 3>And here's a quick fun fact.

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>How am its pregame ritual included eating two packs of

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>peanuts M and m's, making him one of the most

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>efficient candy fueled athletes ever. Man, Now, that might be

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>the most impressive thing about his career. And I wonder

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>if he ate those peanut m and ms on Thanksgiving

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.759
<v Speaker 1>Day after Thanksgiving dinner, or if he indulged into some

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 1>like pumpkin pie instead, or some apple pie with some

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>ice cream and whipped cream with a cherry on top.

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Or did he love those peanut m and ms that

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>much that he wanted sacrifice even on Thanksgiving?

0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 3>What do you think?

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 4>I think it was probably became a superstition thing early on.

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean running backs in their candy. You got Marshawn

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 4>with Skittles, you got Emmitt Smith with Peter and M

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 4>and ms. I mean, it is what it is. These

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 4>guys are sometimes like most of the time, the running

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 4>backs specimen that just needs fuel and they could eat

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 4>anything they want because they running and getting blown up

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 4>all day and they're touching the ball a lot. What's

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 4>the first thing that comes to your mind when you

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 4>think of Emmitt Smith, one of.

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>The greatest running backs of all time, exemplified what being

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a star really meant, especially being on the Dallas Cowboys,

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>like he was that star symbol when he was playing

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>with Dallas.

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that is that is true.

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Jarry Jones did say that, but he really did exemplify

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 1>it that much. He exemplified what being a running back

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>truly meant. They truly ran the ball and ran it

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>with you know, conviction, with resilience. And also he's like

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>one of the first guys to truly start that era

0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>of everyone wanting to be a running back growing up.

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing, no one really wants to be running

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>back anymore. It's it's twenty twenties and it's all about

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>being a wide receiver, quarterback, tight end it. Back in

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the day when it was Amitt Smith, everyone wanted them

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 1>want to be running back, everyone of myself, and I

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>knew I wasn't a running back.

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Emma Smith is huge. When I think of

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 4>Emmt Smith. I just think I think of the Cowboys,

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.239
<v Speaker 4>and I didn't like them. I didn't like them, but

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 4>you were so damn good. I was a forty ninety

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 4>nine Ers fan oka and this was prime in like

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 4>when I was watching football in the nineties, and they

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 4>were just so good. Him the triplets, Him, Aikman and

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 4>Michael Irvin, and it just seemed like that often he

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 4>would low you to sleep behind that offensive line. He'd

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 4>get lost behind the line, and I just hated him

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 4>because he'd always beat us in Candlestick.

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 3>It didn't matter.

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 4>Cowboys were always beating us except for ninety five peanut

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 4>epin MS. Did you have any superstitions before games or

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 4>what What was your pregame food.

0:03:58.440 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 3>I had a pregame ritual.

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember you just eating hella pasta.

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I did eat helapasta, but there was also the peanut

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>butter and jelly I made with my mom's jelly.

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 3>That was always a routine.

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>If I had to do every single Sunday to get

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>me prepared and get me you know mentally right that

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I was on the right track and kept the tradition

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 1>going of always having a pp and j with my

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>mom's homemade jelly and then on top of it a

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>chocolate milk. Man, I love chocolate milk to this day,

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and I just felt like, you know, getting that protein

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>in my system and the carbs.

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:29.799
<v Speaker 3>What better way to make.

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 1>The tradition sustainable with my mom's homemade jelly. I'm telling you,

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the best jelly in the game.

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Did you hear that?

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 4>Going around uncrustables in the NFL, there's like seven thousand.

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 4>I heard PMT and the boys talking about it. It's

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 4>crazy because peanut butter and jelly's always been like the

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 4>athlete snack. Like you need a little quick calorie burned down.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 4>You need some calories, a cup of protein, some sugar,

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 4>some bread, a little fuel. Right before you get a

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 4>PB ANDJ throw a little honey on there for a

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 4>little little NOAs a little extra sugar. That's what I

0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 4>would do as a kid. What jumps out when you

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 4>watch Emmy Smith's tape.

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean he was a solid receiving back as well

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>as being a great runner. I mean he has a

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>strong upper body. You've seen defensive lineman bounce off of

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>him like he can go into a hole and it

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>looks like he's surrounded by five players, and all of

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, he just has that killer stutter step with

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the backstep propeller, and then he's out of that freaking

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.799
<v Speaker 1>like pile of dudes and he's running to the outside now.

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>And then he's kind of like a rabbit out there,

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>like all these dogs are chasing this rabbit, and none

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>of these dogs can get the rabbit. The rabbits just

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>playing games like silly rabbit. He's just you know, eating

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 1>the carrot while he's running around everybody. But that's what

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>made him so special too, man, Like no one can

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>get to him. And that that upper body strength, along

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>with his ability and his footwork, just his versattility is

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>what truly made him that special and so hard to

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>take down.

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 2>What do you say, who you who do you hate

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 2>going against? What kind of defensive ends?

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, shorter Shorter.

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Stocking is Emm Smith.

0:05:58.320 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 3>He's a bowling ball.

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 2>He's just got built in pad level man.

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Yea, almost, that is what it is.

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 4>You'd watch him get behind the offensive line. It seemed

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 4>like their offensive line was fucking gigantic, and like he

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 4>would sit there and be patient and then he'd have

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 4>the quickness to jump, cut and then hit the fucking hole,

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 4>make someone missing the second level. He always had long runs.

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 4>And that's what like I always think of Emmitt Smith,

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.919
<v Speaker 4>just little little patiot runner, pay shiot runner, play behind

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 4>his pads, low see the hole, hit it and go,

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 4>and like man did he he did it better than

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people. He was the best running back

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 4>when he retired. He had all the numbers.

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I remember that. What did you think about when he

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 2>went to Arizona?

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 3>You remember, I.

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't really remember too much when he went to Arizona

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>because he exemplified being a cowboy, you know so much.

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>He has insane records, that's for sure. He has the

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.840
<v Speaker 1>most career rushing yards with over eighteen thousand yards rushing.

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 1>He has the most career rushing touchdowns at one hundred

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>and sixteen. Was that beat now he did at that time?

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Is that beat touchdowns?

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>The players that have more than one hundred six four

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>career touchdowns but not not rushing touchdowns.

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 3>And he has the most the most.

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Career rushing attempts as well, with over forty four hundred two.

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 4>Man, that's what's almost even more impressive, because what's the

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 4>what's the number right now that everyone talks about running

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 4>back has about four hundred carries and then they get hurt.

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 2>That's ten four hundred.

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Carries, thirty six fumbles on.

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 4>On touching the ball forty four hundred times. That's insane.

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 4>He didn't have like the wow speed, he didn't have

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 4>the wow like stiff arm, but he was always just

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 4>always productive.

0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 3>He had the wow lateral cuts he had.

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but when you think of lateral cuts in this generation,

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 4>who do you think of one of the guys that

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 4>we'll be talking about a little later.

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh whoa, we'll bleep that.

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 3>We'll bleep that, well, bleep it.

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 2>How about the Emmett Smith game, Oh man.

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 1>When he you know, popped out his shoulder and his

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 1>shoulder going while he went in the locker room for

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>like what a minute or so, went to the sidelines

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>wherever he went. He just came back out and play

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the game and had like what fifteen

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>plus carries.

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 4>Against the Giants. Do you ever remember playing someone banged

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 4>up and having a ball out like that? Like I

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 4>was banged up, you were banged up.

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean I never had it to the level of

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm at Smith where he could barely even move his

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>shoulder and every time he found he was practically screaming

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>on the ground, but he just kept going going and

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>telling himself that he's not in pain.

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 3>That's a football player right there. Man got shot up,

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so.

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I think he definitely got light of kin right up

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 2>in the shoulder. He put that needle right direct injected right.

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but if you watch the game, you

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>could tell man, he's in pain a little something.

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 2>I've done it. I've shot up that shoulder a thousand times.

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 3>But you can still feel it. But it just takes

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:41.440
<v Speaker 3>the edge off.

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's kind of numb, but then like you'll

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 2>feel cracky and stuff. You're like, what the fuck?

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:47.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean?

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I can recall, you know, the AFC Championship game. It

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.079
<v Speaker 1>was not like I'm at Smith's story, but I went

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 1>up to see him. It was versus Baltimore Ravens. It

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>was my second year in the league. I was having

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 1>that wonderful year and I caught the ball on the

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Bernard Pollard. It was kind of a hip draft tackle,

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and I swear like ninety percent of the time on

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 1>hip drop tackles, the player does get injured.

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 3>That's getting tackled.

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're just not properly made to fall down

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.320
<v Speaker 1>that way with someone falling on top of you. If

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.079
<v Speaker 1>you're falling backwards and someone's on top of you, no problem.

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 1>But your body is not made for someone to fall

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>on top of you when you're landing on your stomach

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>or on your chest. And that's what happened. Got tackled,

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.839
<v Speaker 1>he landed on my ankle. It twisted and I had

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a you know, super high ankle sprain, went in the

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 1>locker room, got it taped up, and literally I had

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the same mindset, Hey, I'm not in pain. This is

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the AFC Championship Game. I may never be back. If

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 1>we win this game, We're going to the fricking super Bowl.

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>That's what you know, you're just dreamed of as a kid.

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>So I had to go back, and I'm telling you

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 1>that shit or I took it wasn't lyto kine.

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 3>It was the tour it all shot, you know, right

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 3>there on the spot.

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it really did much because you know,

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 1>a high ankle sprain and you're in a lot of pain.

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean I went out there, I was limping a

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 3>little bit.

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 1>No more catches, BT, some serious blocks to get to

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl. That Yeah, what was the craziest injury

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you ever played through in a game?

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 2>That crazy snowstorm game first verse.

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 3>Ten, when you guys want fifty nine to nothing. Yeah,

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 3>I was still at the University of Arizona.

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I was in the fourth quarter.

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 4>I got to play a bunch being a slapstick slaptick back.

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Then cut a ball and Vanderbosch fell on me and

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 4>I broke my arm. I snapped my forearm and I

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 4>look over to Ivan Fears the sideline.

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I go, Coach, I think I'm hurt. He goes, stay in.

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 2>We ain't gotta know whatever was out.

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 3>A football coach.

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, all right, all right, And then freaking Hoyer

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 4>threw me the ball Like the next drive, I caught

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 4>a ball with a broken arm.

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 2>It was fucking crazy. And I come off and I'm like, chatty,

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I think I broke my arm.

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 4>Dude like he's like, oh well, I think everyone's kind

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 4>out right now. I'm like, yeah, all right, whatever, let's

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 4>do it. And so play with the broken arm.

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.920
<v Speaker 1>That suck, bro I mean, it's bad, and then it's

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>bad asked to play through an injury, but it does suck.

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 4>I heard it suck heard like that mother effort. It's

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.960
<v Speaker 4>part of the game. The guys, the greatest players like EMMITTT.

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Smith for this situation, when they're banged up, they find

0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 4>a way to be productive and they adjust their game

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 4>to the deficiencies with their injury, and they still go

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 4>out and ball. That's what makes a great player. Well,

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Emmy Smith was a fucking guy that did that with

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:27.079
<v Speaker 4>the shoulder game.

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.239
<v Speaker 1>What about his most all time rushing yards on Thanksgiving

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Day as well, with over eleven hundred.

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Yards I mean Turkey Day.

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.599
<v Speaker 1>He owned the most rushing tds on Thanksgiving thirteen Jesus.

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>His best Thanksgiving was about twenty nine carries, one hundred

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and fifty five yards and three touchdowns in nineteen ninety six.

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 1>He's a three time Super Bowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys,

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>and he helps secure back to back Super Bowls and

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>they were both blowout wins versus my hometown, the Buffalo Bills.

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>People still talk about those losses. How the Bills went

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>to the Super Bowl. I think four years in a row.

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Was it three or four years or I was only

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 1>one years old, two years old, three years old, four

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.079
<v Speaker 1>years old. But it still hurts the city of Buffalo

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>that Emmett Smith put that big of a pounding on them,

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>And a huge shout out to Jimmy Johnson, Michael Irving

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 1>on the team. I mean, what a solid team they had,

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>man and Troy Aikman was he the quarterback? That's the

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>team right there, the triplets.

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 4>Now what do you think of the Lions and the

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 4>Cowboys always playing on Thanksgiving?

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I love how those teams are the tradition.

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously the Cowboys, they are America's team. They

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:38.079
<v Speaker 1>draw the most represents the Thanksgiving. You need the Dallas

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys on TV. The Detroit Lions, they became so bad

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>at one point that it really.

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.959
<v Speaker 2>Was like their super Bowl. Yeah, yeah, it was their

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 2>super Bowl because that was like their only primetime game

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 2>for a long time.

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.920
<v Speaker 1>At one time, they were like, oh fifteen, only sixteen

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the league. They were winning two three games. At the time,

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>it rarely wasn't important that Detroit was playing on Thanksgiving.

0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 1>It might have been important for the city, but it

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>was important to of America that the Dallas Cowboys were

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 1>playing on Thanksgiving. But now it's just as important when

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the Detroit Lions. Everyone loves Detroit, right, now they're kind

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 1>of becoming like America's up and coming team, America up

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and of of the middle upper.

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Midwest they call Midwest. They call it the Midwest, you

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 2>know upper.

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've always bordering the Canada actually always Canada's team.

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Actually, well technically Detroit is the only city where Canada

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 4>is south of it. Emmy Smith always He's also known

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 4>for his his game day fits.

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, pullovers, right.

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, that's that's what he's endorsed by now pullover diapers.

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Depends, right, yeah, because he's always dependable in Dallas.

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 3>He's always dependable.

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Now he's representing depends adult diapers because you can depend

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>on EMMITTT.

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 3>Smith. That take a dump.

0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>On the other opposing team defense, Yes, on the defense.

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.079
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty crazy.

0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 4>He did that whole polka doont like overall outfit back

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 4>in the day when guys would always wear a suit

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 4>and tie. Like to think about it now, like that's

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 4>how everyone dresses now, everyone dresses like it's a fucking

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 4>runway before the game to get your shot, to show

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 4>that you're cool, your.

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Style this, you're that. And Emma Smith was like a

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 2>pioneer in that. Look at that fucking outfit. That's kind

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.239
<v Speaker 2>of fire. Would you wear that, Rob if it was Halloween?

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 2>What was your game day? What was your game day outfit?

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 3>My game day outfit? Man?

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 1>You know me, I was a shortened T shirt guy.

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Every single week that was all free T shirt, free shorts,

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>free sandals. I was showing up every game like.

0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 4>That guy wore Jordan sandals nine years that I've known him,

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 4>the same pair in the locker room. That's what he

0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 4>roll up in, just like this. He look exactly how

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 4>he was dressed right now, just like this, because this

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 4>is all free stuff.

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 2>And he'd roll up in the game. He roll up

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 2>in the game that you'd see him.

0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 4>You see him in the cafeteria, grab some food, grab

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 4>a couple of PV and jays, and I'm good.

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 3>And then he's good, just thankful for it. Just the basics, Jules.

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I've I think I've come across Emmett

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.640
<v Speaker 4>at a like a banquet or a function or a

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 4>charity event or some event. Emmy Smith just looks like

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 4>happy and cool and rich anytime I see him. He's

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 4>got a great smile, he has an age. He looks

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 4>exactly the same as he did in high school. I

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 4>don't think he's got the hair anymore, but salt and

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 4>pepper beer. I mean, I guy could cut a rug too.

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 4>Emmitt Smith actually won Dancing with the Stars. Does Dola

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 4>win Dancing with Stars? Like Emma Smith?

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Right now, this is after Dancing with the Stars.

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 3>Did Danny win? Wait, this is after we don't know

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 3>if Danny went, but.

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 4>Right now we can imaginary think that like if he

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 4>if he wins, and you say he won right now,

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 4>then we'll look like genius, says But if we say

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 4>he didn't he won and he didn't win, then we'll

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 4>look like morons.

0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 3>I think Danny is gonna win Dancing with the Stars.

0:15:58.160 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 2>You think, no, he won?

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Da Dan, Danny won Dancing with the Stars.

0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Fucking let's go Dola shout out time. What kind of

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>dude is Emmitt Smith?

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:16.160
<v Speaker 4>I would say on three one two three, DoD.

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean he was relentless man.

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean like dogs, dogs get hurt and they don't

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 1>care one bit, They just keep on going.

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 3>I mimm Smith just kept going.

0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 2>He's a crazy stud.

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 4>Because you think about it, when you think of that generation,

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 4>like when I think a dog, I think of someone

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 4>who like he won every year.

0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 2>He didn't have to have to be a dog like

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 2>he was the pedigree. Everyone knew.

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 4>He was the guy, one of the faces of the

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 4>Dallas Cowboys, which was America's team. He had the pedigree.

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 4>He went on Dancing with the Stars. He won Dancing

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 4>with the Stars. You're telling me, dogs go out there

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 4>and win some Dancing with the stars.

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>No, dogs don't go out and went Dancing with the stars.

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Studs do dogs go out there and Dancing with the

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Stars and lose the first round because they're just so

0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 1>happy to be there and they're just roughing around and

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 1>they can't figure out what to do because they do

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.000
<v Speaker 1>they do it at one hundred miles per hour and

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 1>going out there and just being so careless and running

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:09.920
<v Speaker 1>over everything in sight.

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Motivated to win, but yeah, how to do it?

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 2>So then I just talked to you. I talked to

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.600
