He’s mean and cranky because he’s vulnerable and outclassed and he knows it.   Dan, I DARE you to prove me wrong by posting something witty and funny.  Give us your best shot buddy!

And as Wayne Gretzkey has proven about hockey, just because you are good at playing it doesn’t mean you are good at coaching it, GMing it, commentating for it, or even betting on it.  Relax.  We know he was good.

Oh, as for Emitt Smith, he’s easily the worst talking head in football now that Gumbel got himself fired.  My favorite quote from Smith is when he called someone "Sharp as a whistle" but there are many other Emmitt-isms that I think Landry Hat took the time to catalogue here.

The one thing I can say about Emmitt is that at least he’s "funny-bad" and you don’t have to listen to him for an entire three hours since he’s not in the broadcast booth.  Gumbel was "make-my-teeth-hurt" bad which is an entirely different thing.

LandryHat had some good articles on the subject.  You can read about Gumbell’s atrocities here. You can read about more Emmitt-isms here.
