A lot of the issues of the Dallas Cowboys yesterday having pressure on Tony Romo, came from the outside pressure.
What we shared and what we were able to accomplish on the football field was something unbelievable.
There’s a lot of dancing in football. You can see Victor Cruz doing a little bit of cha-cha or sambra move in the end zone. You can see Terrell Owens getting his popcorn ready. You can see Ochocinco doing the river dance. But not so much in the ballroom.
Consistency is one of the hallmarks of my career. You knew what you were going to get out of E-Smith every game, every year, no matter if I was 22, 21 or 35 years old.
History has never seen Emmitt Smith. I don’t care what has come before me. That’s why they call it history you create new history.
Your biggest fear is the transition from football to business. You feel inferior at the beginning. You don’t have the knowledge to compete. But once you start focusing and understanding, then you start relating to things.
I love to play bid whist as much as I love football.
Football is a team sport, and there is no one individual who is bigger than the next person.
I was going through a little bit of turbulence in my career. And so, it’s funny how turbulence itself will make you hold onto something for security. And so the only thing I knew is trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own heart, in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.
I’ve learned that football sometimes was an outlet. It was a way for me to release anger, release frustration.
We are all born naked into this world, but each of us is fully clothed in potential.
My mom said, ‘Don’t get married. You’re too young. Go out there and experience what life has to offer.’ And I did.
I’m an enigma, an unknown. You can’t really figure out what I’m going to do next. I like it like that.
I don’t have to put on shoulder pads and run out there and let somebody hit on me a little bit.
If you want to stay perfect, you cannot go undefeated with a blemish on your record.
You cannot change the stripes of a leopard.
One thing I can say about the Dallas Cowboys: They have always had talent around them. They have been one of the most talented football teams in all of football.
I don’t have to get up in the morning and go beat up my body like I used to. I don’t have to be out there in August in 108 degree weather down in Texas.
I have been a Cowboys fan since I was a little bitty boy. And my dream has finally become a reality, of not only just playing a professional, becoming a professional athlete, but playing for the team that I always wanted to play for.
Charles Haley changed the way the Cowboys played football in the 90s. And the reason why I say that is because he was such a dominant force coming off the edge, where it took two and three to block him.
