Fans, Emmitt Smith may be the NFL's all-time leading rusher & a former "Mirror Ball" trophy winner on "Dancing with the Stars", but as an analyst for ESPN, Emmitt wasn't that good in the opinions of many media experts during the last 2 seasons. According to awfulannouncing.com & profootballtalk.com, ESPN has cut Emmitt & his butchering of the English language from its broadcasts next fall.

Emmitt debacled the language.

SHARK, this is great news. I can honestly say that you or I would do better as a commentator than Emmitt did. His constant misuse of the English language was growing tiresome. Hopefully "The World Wide Leader" ESPN can learn from this mistake going forward.

Am I the only one who will miss the "Steve Young face"? Additionally, who was worse... Emmitt Smith as an analyst, or Bill Russell as a broadcaster? Im going Bill Russell.

Does ESPN actually have a practice run with these guys before hiring them or do they just throw them on the air?

He was terrible and I would think that would have been apparent in the first hour of a practice show.

I'll trump you with Joe Montana as an analyst...elevator music would have been better.

So when does Shannon Sharpe get fired? He's terrible to listen to.

I believe Michael Irvin has a radio show of his own right now on ESPN Radio 103.3 FM down in Dallas since he was let go from Bristol University.

Hey Killer, do you play ball in the kneebrace as a built-in excuse?

*Killer V blows an uncontested layup...

Killer V: Oh damn! It's that bad knee acting up again.

*Killer V tries to catch a pass but it bounces off his face...

Killer V: Dammit! My knee's tightening up. Don't worry guys, I'm alright.
