06/16/11 Entering the 2011 NFL Draft, many compared the University of Alabama's Mark Ingram to Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith for his toughness and compact running style. Like Smith, Ingram fell to the bottom half of Round 1, landing at No. 28 to New Orleans. The Saints gave New England their second round choice and next year's first to acquire the pick -- a sign New Orleans was anxious to land ...
06/03/11 The Dallas Cowboys have drafted some great players, including Hall-of-Fame talents such as Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, Tony Dorsett, Emmitt Smith and more. But that list of greats could have been much larger had the Cowboys drafted differently in other seasons. Some of these picks may be obvious, while others you may be surprised about; but without a doubt the Cowboys missed out on some great ...
05/23/11 The Pittsburgh Steelers' Hines Ward has a good shot to become the sixth athlete to win the dancing competition, which is in its 12th season.

05/22/11 LOS ANGELES ? Emmitt Smith was the first athlete to win "Dancing With the Stars." That was in Season 3, after Jerry Rice finished second in Season 2 to Drew Lachey, the less famous but maybe more talented younger brother of singer Nick Lachey (who used to hang out with USC quarterback Matt Leinart, but that's a whole other reality show).6

04/18/11 When you watch Alabama running back Mark Ingram play, one name comes to mind. Emmitt Smith. At 5-foot-9 and 215 pounds, Ingram is built like the former Dallas Cowboys great. Ingram ran the 40-yard dash in the 4.53 range at Alabama's pro day.
04/13/11 The draft success of the Cowboys can be best defined by a three-year stretch (1988-90) in which Dallas nabbed famed "Triplets" WR Michael Irvin, QB Troy Aikman and RB Emmitt Smith, building the foundation for three Super Bowl titles and Hall of Fame inductions for all three. Yet, for each legend the Cowboys have grabbed off the board, the first round has also led to its share of inexplicable ...
03/21/11 The Phoenix Suns have had a number of players come to the team after enjoying great careers with other teams - here are the top 5.

02/12/11 Jerry Jones is to the National Football League what George Steinbrenner was to Major League Baseball, the epitome of money and greed. In 1989, Jerry Jones purchased the Dallas Cowboys for $140 million and set out to build a winner. He brought over head coach Jimmy Johnson from the University of Miami, who in turn churned out brilliant draft picks like QB Troy Aikman, RB Emmitt Smith, wide ...
