Monday Football featuring Emmitt Smith: February 8, 2010
The Monday Night Football Treat is in honor of the selection of Emmitt Smith to be in the Hall of Fame.I met Emmitt Smith several years ago at a party thrown by that dean of partiers Ron Fry.The party was in honor of Florida A&M Alumni.Go Rattlers! Emmitt at that time was still running the ball for the Cowboys and was in the prime of his career. Ron introduced him to me and I was trying to be cool, like "Hey man ,whats up." We briefly talked about the party and then departed , as he was asked to dance.Ron and myself then commented on Emmitt's dance moves on the floor which were quite good.Who knew years later he would win a national dance contest on t.v. That night he was just another guy,at a party.However there were no other people besides him that were destined for NFL greatness and nationwide acclaim.
Congratulations Emmitt on your selection to the NFL Hall of Fame,and thank you for being a guy that had no pretentions to fame.

That's a great story. I love to hear about people just being people. A lot of "stars" have a hard time going back to just being a "regular Joe" after their career ends. I really think it helps when a person doesn't buy their own hype.
