I still remember going to the same high school(Escambia High School) as Emmitt Smith. I was a freshman, and he was a senior. I learned very fast how famous he was on campus. But watching how great he was on the field, convinced me why he was famous. I also had no clue, that he was going to be, one of the greatest running backs to ever play the game.
Correction my friend THE GREATEST running back of all time.
Go Gators!!!
😂😂😂😂
You're so fucking lucky
That's a legend
A brilliant judge once told a convicted officer, " public respect is not demanded because of a uniform we wear, it is earned!" I will never forget this....
Level headed man, hence the long career, family, investments and a great life.
I like Emmitt when he was on Dancing with the stars I voted for him every week. He WON
Back then the only play the Cowboys needed was, "Give the ball to Emmitt."
run behind Larry, I hated that crap... lifelong WFT fan
Emmitt is the man, I always loved the way he carried himself! A true Hall of Fame football 🏈 playa.
He apparently is a bad driver...
Met him twice, very cool, down to earth, unpretentious guy!!!!
Fax
Emmitt!! This popped up in my feed but Emmitt is such a cool dude!! Years ago I worked at a golf course that held an annual celebrity charity tournament and Emmitt became friends with the all the guys in the pro shop and the girls in the snack bar. We were all friends (employees) and would often go out to bars after work/events. Emmitt and Jerry Rice would come out and party with us every year after the tournament. Both of those guys were so nice and so much fun! Both were super down to earth! I didn’t know any of the sports stars because I don’t watch sports but those two guys are my favorites.
IMO... You have an amazing gift in your relaxed and laid back conversational style. You listen well, and respectfully ask solid questions with a natural sense of humor. I hope you have a late-night show one day.....
wow! Profound answer. Don't let success control you, but you control it.
Absolute class the way he carried himself on and off the field, a true winner, even winning Dancing with the Stars, even if you weren't a Cowboys fan, he was great to watch, kind of remember a Monday night game from '94, Dallas vs Detroit, he and Barry Sanders put on a clinic for how to carry the football, think they both carried the ball many times each, both he and Barry were true RUNNING backs, I rhink
Emmitt one of my friends from hometown Pensacola, Florida very nice and handsome man always an Cowboys fan.♥️♥️♥️♥️
you attended Escambia High School too? If so, what years?
@@Dapper_Dean Hi no went to Woodham High School
@@kennethaandrews523 ah I see.
I like how Emmit Smith evolved. I was a Rookie at life and single. Now I am a married nan with different priorities. In other words he grew into his adulthood.
Emmitt seems like a cool dude. I met him in vegas one time and he signed a picture of mine.
Met him in Dallas
Paolo because he asked
@@divamom7876 i met and drove emmitt in durham nc. he signed a jersey for me. he is a very approachable guy
He is my NFL hero.
yeah that really happened...LMAO. Far more whites, Mexicans and Asians are stopped by cops. Blacks are the ONLY group that can brag about their superiority. claim to be queens and queens, and then cry baby and beg for pity about someone else's "racism" in the same breath.
I enjoy the interview with Emmitt he is a great foot ball player he is one of my favorite I'm a big Dallas cowboy fan
My college buddies and I were pulled over in East St. Louis in 1974 with guns drawn. When the cops opened the trunk, it was full of beer as Illinois was 19 and Missouri and Arkansas was 21. The cop yelled to his buddies, "Oh, shit, it's just a bunch of college kids with beer! Get the hell outta here!" And they let us keep our beer. We were in the wrong part of town for sure.
Hated him as a player because he was so dam efficient and a Cowboy, one thing I did like about Emmitt as a player was every time he scored a touchdown and he scored many, he would give the ball to the nearest official, same as Barry, they nevered celebrated, never did anything to draw attention to themselves and away from the offensive unit as an whole.
I recall using my mom's car 25yrs ago. She's always driven Cadillacs. I to live in the Dallas area. I've been harassed by more black cops when I drove her car. I also ride alone as well. Good life lessons. Thanks for sharing Emit.
I’ve been pulled over for dwm. Driving while Mexican. With guns drawn, they claimed the car I was driving was stolen. It was my own car. This was 20 years ago. This stuff has been going on and still goes on today in the hood with Latino and blacks.
Hell, I've been pulled over for DWBYWMOLAN - Driving While Being Young White Male Out Late At Night - by Dallas cops (I was born and raised there) with guns drawn. I've been threatened by Dallas cops, received 4 & 5 tickets every stop and told I should put my car on jacks and stop driving it, thrown in jail for trumped up burglary charges because my dad had a tool bag in the back seat floorboard (I was driving his car at the time) ... being black or Mexican has nothing on anyone else. Every guy I hung with when I was in my late teens has had a cop draw a gun on him and spent a night or two in jail and we were all white. Blacks and Mexicans like to think they are "oppressed" ... mostly they are just crybabies.
PS, In know exactly where Harry Hines Blvd is ... it runs from downtown Dallas out the northwest quadrant of Dallas just a mile west of Love Field and all the way to where LBJ Freeway intersects with Forest Lane and then it merges with I-35E northbound. Not only are there hos walking Harry Hines (in some places), but the largest medical complex in the state of Texas (Parkland Hospital and UT Southwestern Medical School) is located on Harry Hines near downtown. Dallas cops don't give a shit what color you are ... if they decide to harass you then they are going to harass you.
@ So according to a white guy, driving while black doesn't exist, yeah, ok. Major organizations and the stories of millions of people are invalid because you say so huh, gtfoh.
Dude, that sucks. Why did your own car come up stolen though.
That happened to my sister once. Her own truck, my brother in law's, anyway, pulled over and told her to get out the vehicle. She refused over and over because why? Her newborn baby was in the truck. And why? She did nothing wrong. It turns out the plates came back as stolen truck. What happened was the new white truck was in the shop for a day or two, and the thieves or whoever switched the plates. Of course she didn't notice.
Eventually, more cops showed and the vin number didn't match the license plate.
Scary shit.
My brother in law later told her, "hon, you have to obey the police."
@@lloydhudson6463 I'm white. It exists. Same with dwm. And I commented same with dws. Driving while smoking a cigarette.
Emmitt , no truer words ever spoken , my brother , i feel you !!!
Great interview! I didn't know he was so nice!
Im from philly and met him in philly at an office and my aunt is a big fan I ask for his autograph for her real cool dude gave the pen n all.I shook his hand and said Emmett one more thing.I said watch your back in this town we both smiled and his boys also.he gave me a hug n all cool cat.
Is Philly that bad.
i met emmitt here in durham . signed a jersey for me. very approachable guy
Thank you, Emmitt Smith - Hall of Famer. 1/3 of the Triplets. God bless,
Check out Emmitt and What his wife have done for the poor and hungry. Then you'll know is not only cool . He and his wife are some of greatest people that walk this earth. God bless them for all they do. And what a class act to be able to laugh off driving and being pulled over for just driving in a nice car. I'm a Eagle's fan . And I have to say I'm also a Emmitt fan forever. Thanks for all you do . Hope more people learn how great you are off the football field as well. Your the best.
A really impressive man, GREAT footballer, intelligent man
He is one of the outstanding running backs of the Dallas Cowboys legacy.
Emmitt correcting Graham at 3:13 about him being out late wasn’t the morning before the game but it was Friday night before.....in a very relaxed slow manner and Graham with his “I got it” (lets keep it rolling Emmitt tone of voice) and then hits Emmitt with a second “yeah I got it.”
Great Interview Great Man Emmit Smith love this guy
I always liked and respected e.smith this coming from a die hard 49er fan when we used to have a rivalry going!!
Something like all blacks v springboks I'm a ab fan
Me too,even as a Redskin fan.
He will ALWAYS be my favorite Dallas Cowboy player. DD4L!!! I'm his fan for life. I've been a fan of the Cowboys for over 50 yrs. And that will NEVER change. My fondest wish is to some day meet Emmitt Smith in person! And then I pray! God bless you Emmitt!
very well Emmitt, and very well taking control of the interview!!
As Big Time Florida State Seminole Fan I had to worry about this man because you never knew which Emmitt Smith was gonna show up at Doak Campbell or in The Swamp. As quiet as it was kept I was a Big ES fan he just played for the wrong team. I laughed when I heard one of these so-called experts say Emmit will go late in the draft because he was slow and his size. 17th wasn't so bad. Emmitt earned my ultimate respect proving when he proved them all wrong .. Offensive Rookie of the year !! The State of Florida produced some first-class football players from this era ... Miami Hurricanes, Florida Gators and FSU Seminoles
This dude got hit a lot and he got hit often he was a stud you wasn't an elusive Runner but he never ran out of bounds he took his licks nothing but respect for Emmitt Smith
yeah that really happened...LMAO. Far more whites, Mexicans and Asians are stopped by cops. Blacks are the ONLY group that can brag about their superiority. claim to be queens and queens, and then cry baby and beg for pity about someone else's "racism" in the same breath. He played a children's game for a living "studs" don't play children's games.
I am a lifelong Cowboys fan since 1961. I am a true Emmett fan. He is the epitome of an example our young men should want to emulate that aspire to play any sport. His work ethic and his skill set paralleled him to be the number 1 running back of all times even though he wasnt the best runner of the ball, he was the best running back.
Always have loved Emmett. A Canadian fan. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
with the oline he had,
Well put! He was NOT the best runner,far from it. He was a good runner and he played a long time. The game has changed and no one will ever get near his yardage total.
Oh and Barry Sanders was ten times the back that Smith was. We will never know how good he could have been because he played for such a horrible team.
Sounds like your sense of humor has helped you to survive and come to a healthy life. I am happy for you. Enjoyed some of those games.
Emmitt Smith seems like a good guy, has his priorities right
As me as Chicago bears fan I admire Smith Smith second best RBS with Walter even he broke his record I'm glad he was the one the 2 best RIP Walter
Officers reacted to the situation the way they did due to the high crime area. The light is a tactical thing to protect the officer. He never said why he was stopped.
That's one thing the MSM never points out and the public miss.
It's not always racial profiling or it's racial profiling because the race that commits the most crime in those areas are Minorities and the area has more Minorities than Whites anyway.
Plus many times it is a minority officer pulling over a minority.
It's sick the whole misinformation business of MSM and what Police deal with and have to go through.
No one reports from their POV and experience that leads to them proactively stopping people in fancy cars in the wrong neighborhoods.
(Not that I agree it's alright to do unwarranted stops, but we need to learn why and deal with the leading issues)
Yes he did. Driving while black.
A very respected man on and off the field!!! Coming from a p-cola homie!!!!
did you attend Escambia High School too? If so, what years?
Very smart man! He didnt make the scandal sheets that often when he was playing.
would not want to stand up for yourself, now would you?
@@billsmlth5381 STFU, you racist POS.
@@billsmlth5381 Oh look! Another white person preaching about the black experience in America. Thanks for giving us your firsthand knowledge.....oh wait.
@@Onlyrealmusic4life I can and do often pass for black so I can get treated better. When I pass for black. Everyone is afraid I'll go all cry-baby if they don't treat me well and call them a racist. Plus I get pity puss from white AND black girls.
Mad love for this dude.
Legend, Emmitt smith kicked ass on the field .
Mr. Smith,
In my opinion you were, and always will be a class act. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you have a great pro career in Dallas. You are truly a great role model for all of the youth in the DFW area. I hope you have a long and happy retirement and best wishes to your family.
Absolutely love this man!!
Don't follow sports, don't know who this guy is but RESPECT!
EVERY young person Black or White or whatever needs to see this.
Should be mandatory viewing in ALL High School and College Sports teams or the whole school for that matter.
that man right there could play ball like no other. i am very hard to impress,but he did.
No surprise there but Emmett is a really cool guy 😎
Graham should conduct ALL interviews. Even VLAD’s
Emmitt is the man....but anyone count how many times he said "at the end of the day?" 🤣😂🤣🤣
Graham asks great questions and listens in a way that gets great answers. I hope people realize how special this show is.
"The streets, or my career!" Dear James Harden.....!
There were people in Dallas didn't know who he was?
As if he wasn't on TV often enough.
I've heard the similar story from Miles Davis.
He wasn't critical of it or anything, he just described what happened.
He wasn't anywhere close to activism of racism.
In Davis's case, it was worse. He was driving a Lamborghini.
The cops thought he was a drug dealer.
Well said Emmitt
Hall of famer💪🏾🔥
Steelers fan here. I hated them cowboys, but I have loads of respect for Emmett. He’s 100 percent class.
I met emmitt in Las Vegas last year and talked to him. He is a bright insightful kind man. We all had our picture with him. He signed some stuff and super super nice fella. I believe his story one hundred percent.
I learned that lesson early living on campus, always take your own vehicle to a party, club dinners etc!
One of my favorite top 5 Cowboys players of all time
Florida Gator...always been proud of Mr Smith
I am not a Dallas Cowboy fan, but I admire you for playing your behind off and being and upstanding example black man.
Yeap, that’s what my mother would say “everything in moderation” - don’t overdue anything!!
The Bible says the same thing, where she probably learned it from or her mom.
@@surfersilver6610 Yes, for sure!. Thanks.
Excellent interview
What a legend
I grew up near where Walter Payton lived. I got to see him work out, run the hill (if you know, you know), and talk with him on one occasion. Such a wonderful person in every way. I cannot think of a more fitting person to break his all time rushing record than Emmitt Smith. Talk about two class individuals !!!
I wont even pull my sports car out of the drive way these days.
Great interview!
You shouldn't be allowed to harass someone just because they are driving down a street and I don't care what street it is.
Well they do it.. I am an uber driver and a cop came up behind me as I was parked near a strip club and across a motel known for back page activities and other nefarious things kinda.. anyway he asked me if I needed help and told me that it’s not a good area..he saw my uber stickers all on my car ..
@@winniejohnson5559 "Nefarious?" It's called "criminal" and that's why the cops are there.
EMMITT 'the pocket Battleship' Smith....what a legend....and I'm a Raider.
The Nation always gives respect where respect is due.
I'm a EAGLE'S Fan and only Hated Him on Sunday. I Love Emmitt Smith Now. He once said G.W. Bush Stole The Election not Once But Twice.
and Laughed. That's Keeping It Real.
He caught himself before it got to far.
You are still black married or single rich or poor
Ohh, I used to know him in the 90s. He's really nice
How well did you "know him"?
My Mom was a huge Ballroom Dancer and she was a big Emmett Smith after seeing him on Dancing with the Stars. She said he's a great dancer.
Do you know how black you was driving back there
Lol yup.. that's pretty much it
tes516 I got beat up for accidentally riding my bike in a black neighborhood. I was white and only thirteen. Didn't even make the paper.
John Nasworthy I've had similar, but due to black privilege, the media will hide and deny any ties of the fact that the attackers were black. They have to keep blacks angry as the left knows that a happy black is a non-voting black. They will only report on the national black victimization hoax and lie.
pep true.
JN - I think that you would GLADLY take that experience instead of being cornered by some "fine Americans , and wind up hanging from a tree. I know that white guys do not give THAT much thought. I guess your black guys forgot to bring a rope!
He was wise young man! Most of them dumb players don't learn until the third arrest! To whom much is given, much is expected!
That's the reason I keep my wife in her own vehicle. She will not at the mercy of another driver.
Driving alone isn’t gonna keep you from being shot.
Lessons Learned Hallelujah
Not a Cowboys fan, but an Emmitt Smith fan.
I was going to high school in my new car wearing my set belt I was so happy to get there to show off my new Pontiac bondaville this was in 2001 A white cop pulled me over I said hello what’s going on he said you avoided me I said what I’m at my high School this is the way to come wouldn’t you agree he said yes but I feel your avoiding me because you didn’t follow my direction of travel I said your going left I’m going right my school is on the right sir he took my license and let me go he said your not in the system I said will your the first cop I’ve meet and you pulled me over for BWB I went file a complaint and the entire police force was white just my high school it sucked not being able to fit in
Hate the cowboys but emmitt a cool dude.
Emmitt Smith and I share the same birth date, I'm just a year older, and a lot of people have mistaken me for Emmitt Smith. The only difference between Emmitt Smith and I is that he's wealthy, and I'm a military veteran. LOL
What is the interviewer looking for what is he digging for?
Life is about making (small) mistakes, and learning from them, and getting better
We all get these little taps on the shoulder that we're screwing up.
The best of us listen, adjust and grow from these times. The weakest of us do not, and perish.
Darwinism. Survival of the fittest
Y......
I think the title is misleading.
Driving while black, on a sketchy road known for prostitution, with a really nice car, all at the same time. And the cops told them where they were and helped them get to where they were going.
Change the title. It’s click bait
Harry Hines is a public road. If simply driving on the road is a problem they should close the road.
Still a bullshit stop if they have no RAS to detain them. It’s not illegal to drive a nice car smh. They knew exactly what they were doing.
If police officers were fired for racial profiling, maybe that would put a stop to it, or at least slow it down.
My sister taught him and Roy Jones Jr while teaching in the Escambia County School system. She said both of them were nice kids
you are lying. Emmitt attended Escambia High School. I went there, so I know.
@@Dapper_Dean My facts are mixed up but it does not mean I am lying unless your assertion is Emmet was not a nice kid. In the mid 80s, sister did teaching internships at Escambia and Washington. She got a full time position at PHS until her husband got orders to move.
@@joemama6906 it's not about my assertion of Emmitt. It's about what high school he attended. Don't make excuses.
@@Dapper_Dean no excuses, you are right and I got some facts mixed up from 38 years ago. Quit trying to pick corn out of cow crap.
@@joemama6906 oh now you want to turn your mistakes on me. Maybe next time, just erase your false claim, and be done with it. You're just mad because you got caught fool.
So riding down a street is a reason to pull someone over.
blaze5053 it happens to us black ppl all the time. That’s where the term “driving while black comes from.
niecey if eye opening to see people accept it!!! The only reason to pull someone over is a traffic violation or your car tag comes back as wanted! Other wise there is no reason.
its mental warfare on black folks..the ol scare a few & the rest stay in line technique
blaze5053 all depends on what demographic you are!!
niecey No doubt!!!
In our culture .. when engaging in conversation both shoes have to stay on ground.. . All the time.
Rick Ross had a song called the White House 🤣🤣🤣
What a great player
I was pulled over three times for speeding. Yes, I was really moving. Of course I was driving hoopdys. LOL.
0:13 when puberty hits
Emmit is one of my favorite players of all time. What I don't understand is, two guys drive a Mercedes down " hooker ave. " and black cops stop them. How is that driving while black? Love Emmit but can't believe that came out of his mouth.
John Hawks, some cops no matter their ethnicity think that a black man with any material success must be a criminal. We know Emmett now due to his fame but he was brand new when that incident occurred.
Why did they get stopped no ticket and let go? Can’t fix stupid
yeah, for a professional athelete as his level, you can't take fun past thursday. The body needs to peak.
Not only have I gotten driving while Black I have gotten Parked while Black.
I had 7 cops roll up on me while I was sitting in my car eating lunch. While the car is surrounded one officer approached from the back down the driver side. I asked what's up and they said that there was a robbery across the street by a Black Male.
Now mind you I am in a suit in a
S Class Mercedes, listening to classical music as I am eating my lunch.
I asked, if I just robbed the jewelry store across the street, do you think that I would be sitting ACROSS the street eating a sandwich?
Yeah, and this was not in the South or like him in Texas, it was Seattle. I still ended up having to wait until they could drive a lady by in a patrol car to see if she could identify me. O_o
Dan Farrar: Knuckleheads!!! 😠😠😠. They're all over the place!!
I would Have filed a lawsuit...
What do you mean listening to classical music and eating in a Mercedes Benz black guy, where is your ford.
@Steve Argento Indeed. These morons believe that somehow cops are supposed to know what they're wearing and the type of music they're listening to and/or what their job is. (as if that makes a difference). Smith and Washington were pulled over -- at night -- while driving in an area known for prostitution and drug dealing. And they "got lost." Isn't that the excuse always given to cops?
How can a low paid salary police pull over someone who has more money than they will ever have?
(A) JEALOUSY!
That makes literally no sense. The cops were so jealous that they told him he was on a bad street and gave him a warning. 🤔
Alisha Anthony Wow! Are you really this stupid?
Alisha Anthony . . . all they have to do is turn on the lights and sirens. easy.
to 'Richard Blessing" not everyone is materialistic. There are plenty of rich people who wouldn't even wear a rolex wristwatch or any other status symbol clothing or jewelry. You sound like the one who is corrupted by expensive trinkets, sort of like a crow is attracted to any kind of shiny objects it finds. The ignorance and stupidity and bigotry of your words is why intelligent people find you repulsive.
InDatParish shut your ass up...that was just an excuse to justify what they did Foh
love how Emmitt SHUT HIM DOWN when he said act like NORMAL PEOPLE???????
This guy is a living legend. If you know anything about football and doesn't know who THIS is you don't know a goddamn thing about football
lesson learned. drive by yourself can leave when you want to. applies when your married also.
If you drive by yourself, there'll be no witnesses when the cops mess you up.
Like in Hawaii - for a Pro Bowl with Tuinei - you ain’t fooling me!! I was there!!
I can be in the passenger seat and they stop a car I'm in for no reason, that stop ends ALMOST immediately
Love my 22
