Countdown to Canton: Emmitt Smith's Days Before the Dallas Cowboys
After a highly successful professional career, it was no surprise that Emmitt Smith was a first-ballot selection for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in February.

Sunday Poll: Who is Your Favorite Triplet?
The Triplets. The famed trio of Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, and Emmitt Smith will forever be celebrated for what they accomplished together as Dallas Cowboys. Three Lombardi Trophies.

Your Voice, Your Choice: Emmitt Smith's Road to Canton
The number 12,739 was the first football statistic that really meant something to me. It represents the career rushing yards of my boyhood hero, Tony Dorsett. As a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, I took pride in the fact that he was second only to Walter Payton in the category. Then, along came Eric...
Morning Thread: Jerry Rice and an impressive Hall of Fame class
The 49ers headline the afternoon games again, meaning we get to enjoy some more quality morning football. I have to say I'm especially curious to see how the Cardinals do with the dreaded East Coast early start at Jacksonville. The Jaguars are not exactly a quality team, so will the start time...
The VRR: Giants (1-0) @ Cowboys (1-0)
The New York Giants will come to town looking to rain on Jerry Jones' parade. If Dallas can pull off a win against the team who many consider the best in the division--some the best in the conference, it would give us an indication of how good these Cowboys actually are as a team. I think we can...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1993
