EMMITT’S NEW NAME OF THE WEEK
Posted by Mike Florio on September 14, 2008, 11:23 a.m.
During Sunday morning’s 10:00 a.m. EDT SportsCenter, ESPN’s Emmitt Smith referred to Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel as Matt "Hassel."

Four times.

We realize that we have promised not to make fun of Emmitt for a week, given that ESPN ultimately waived exclusivity as to the Ravens-Texans game that was going to be played on Monday night, and that ESPN permitted DirecTV to telecast nationally.

But we’re really not making fun of Emmitt. We’re just reporting facts.

Actually, we applaud Emmitt for changing on the fly. After host Josh Elliott properly stated Cassel’s name, Emmitt got it right.

And it’s really hard to fault Emmitt for getting Cassel’s name wrong. I mean, it’s not like Cassel’s name was mentioned in the media a million times or so this week.
