Emmitt Smith may be a Dallas Cowboys icon, but he’s not been shy about critiquing the franchise in recent years. That trend continued this week, with the Hall of Fame running back telling Philadelphia’s 94 WIP that the Cowboys have become a “crying shame” in contrast to the rival Philadelphia Eagles.
“I’m sick of it,” Smith said of the Eagles’ soaring popularity and success. “We have allowed others to nitpick at the [Cowboys] and make fun of the star … and that’s what happens. … Now all of a sudden over the last 20 years, they win two Super Bowls and they think they’re the best thing on the planet, and everywhere I go, I hear, ‘Go Birds.’ I’m sick of hearing ‘Go Birds.’
“That … bugs me,” Smith continued, “because in my heart I truly believe our organization should be contending for an NFC championship and even a Super Bowl at least once or twice every decade because every team [resets] every decade. For us not to be there over the last 30 years is a crying shame.”
Smith’s comments come roughly a year after the longtime star running back ripped the Cowboys and their owner, Jerry Jones, for a lack of resilience, arguing the club was losing respect across the NFL.
“I’m tired of being sold on what the Cowboys could be,” Smith told NBC Sports at the time. “I’m tired. I’ve had enough of it because I’m more about what the Cowboys really are. … How do you allow this to happen? Nobody wants to fight no more. No one wants to fight hard anymore. They wanna (say), ‘Oh, we are the Cowboys. Tell me how good I am. Check out my Instagram posts. See me on my podcast? I’m doing all this stuff. I’m everything.’ Without doing anything. … People wanna give them so much without doing nothing. And what they’re living off of is what happened in the past, not what’s going down right now. They’re not establishing their own legacy, let alone building off of the legacy that was established.”

Joey Logano responds to Chipper Jones’ criticism after Talladega dust-up with Austin Cindric
NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. — MLB Hall of Famer Chipper Jones is no fan of defending NASCAR Cup Series driver Joey Logano, something the former Atlanta Braves third baseman made abundantly clear in several messages posted on X following Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway. This was a fact Logano himself didn’t realize until Tuesday morning, but while he now understands, the Team Penske driver still doesn’t know exactly why.Advertisement“I’ve never met him. I don’t have a reason to dislike him outside of now, but oh well. I guess I’m not rooting for the Braves, anytime soon,” a laughing Logano said Tuesday afternoon at North Wilkesboro Speedway, site of next month’s All-Star Race where he is the defending champion.Jones posted his first message against Logano shortly after Austin Cindric, Logano’s Penske teammate, won Sunday’s race. In the message, Jones defended Cindric and […]
Concerning fantasy baseball 2025 performances from Roki Sasaki, Cody Bellinger and more
We’re a month into the season. It’s time to worry.I’m not exactly an optimist. As the joke goes, some people see the glass as half empty, some as half full — I don’t even see the glass.I find that in this virtual game we play, cynicism pays off. The conventional wisdom is that everyone eventually plays to the back of their baseball card. And that is likely. But with struggling players, we need to identify the reasons their performance has cratered and determine the extent to which it’s actionable, especially in mixed leagues, where you basically trade with the waiver wire. That’s a better practice than reflexively holding guys forever and counting on everything to work out in the end.AdvertisementI’m not saying that worry is necessarily a cause for action. It is one for investigation. My criterion for this worry […]
