Many things were nice that were presented ( and can’t post them all):
** Emmitt had a list when he entered the NFL and the 1st thing on that list was to Keep Jesus Christ First and Foremost
** He showed the message that was hanging in the locker at Escambia High School of the goals to achieve before, during and after your
football career.
** Emmitt rushed for 937 yards his rookie season with Dallas. His last season, in the NFL with Arizona, was 937 yards
** When Emmitt retired and giving his speech at Dallas, he thanked 172 people.
** Mr. Smith biggest person he was so thankful to was Daryl "Moose" Johnston
** Aikman stated that Roger Staubach IS the Biggest Legend for Dallas but then he put Emmitt as #2. Emmitt stated he would have taken a paycut
to stay with Dallas. Cried for 45 minutes before the game, when Arizona came to Dallas in Week 5. His heart was crushed when he had to
go to the visiting locker room and cried another 45 minutes when he entered the field, through the visit’s tunnel.
** Like Irvin and Nate Newton, Emmitt still bleeds silver and blue. And hurts him that this franchise hasn’t been Superbowl since their reign
(Side Note: I have a Dallas Cowboys man cave. I have two framed, autographed jerseys. Aikman and Moose. In the middle, I have a 3D #22 Emmitt dashing up the middle with the Lead Draw and a 4" 3D star above Emmitt. )
