First, let’s get the particulars out of the way: Emmitt Smith has been removed from

Sunday NFL Countdown

and replaced by Cris Carter. This is sad news for anyone who appreciates butchery of the English language and the unintentional comedy it creates. Thankfully, though, Smith will continue to contribute to

Monday NFL Countdown

and

SportsCenter

throughout the season.

The guy that fall the hardest the most, is gonna be the guy to get hurt the most.” Words to live by. ↵And thank goodness someone finally put Romo’s off-the-field antics on blast. I’m sure Cowboys fans are so sick of the constant distractions caused by "he and his situation with Jessica Simpson, and so forth.” Parcells would never put up with players having girlfriends.
