One less spare analyst

[IFallsRon]

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."

There are too many analyst out there anyways. He'll end up on the NFL channel or something though.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh No play for Mr Gray.

His beard was too weird

His gray hair put him in a rocking chair.

He sucked as an analyst anyway. I like Bettis alot better.

i didn't mind emmitt...i thought he was decent and gave good advice to young RB's.

i can think of a handful of guys i would rather not see then emmitt personally.

[Jim Uran]

Yeah Deion is one of them, god he's so full of himself.

Emmitt was not the smartest analyst around lol. I wish Mike Mayock would do some game calling, and he did during the vikes preseason and that guy is smart!

[FISHINGURU]

lol i get a kick out of neon deion

"As my offense get better, my defense is gonna be that much more better."

"They do a very good job flying around the football field and carousing the football carrier."

“He’s stuck between a rock and a hard place. And the reason why I say that is this kid obviously has not earned the rice of patches in the locker room.”

“What happened tonight, the strength of the Patriots team got debacled.”

“This kind of inconsistency play, going up against a team like New England, will get you completely blowed out”

“Go to Arizona, sharp as a whistle, and do some finishing touches, so we can go down in the Super Bowl and play our best football of the whole entire season.”

“You cannot change the stripes of a leopard.”
