Emmitt Gets His Ring

    It was a longtime coming, but if you watched the
Dallas Cowboys game with Detroit today you were
a witness to a special honor. Canton, Ohio's
latest entry was on hand to receive his Hall of Fame
ring. Jerry Jones, who also introduced Emmitt Smith at the
Hall of Fame ceremonies, handled today's activities
with the ring. You might find some teardrops on this
posting as Emmitt was my all-time favorite Cowboy..
but I was not alone in admiration of number 22.
Smith is the National Football League's all-time leading
rusher (runner) with 18,355 yards...the NFL's all-time
leading touchdown producer with 164... Ran for over
1,000 yards in a season eleven straight years... Led the
NFL in rushing 4 times.. Was the NFL's Most Valuable 
Player in 1993...Was the NFL's Rookie of the Year in
1990..& was MVP of Super Bowl XXXVIII (28). Smith was
named to the Hall of Fame in 2010 and joins nine other
former Cowboys in the Canton Shrine. They are: Bob
Lilly, Rayfield Wright, Bob Hayes, Mel Renfro, Roger
Staubach, Randy White, Tony Dorsett, Troy Aikman,
and Michael Irvin. Smith is also active in helping young
people in his home state of Florida and also a spokesman
for the President's Council on Physical Fitness...   And you

thought I only liked him for his ability to run with a football!!
