What an incredible moving speech! Everyone that follows him into the HOF needs to think seriously about using this speech as an outline. It was humble, it lauded those along the way that should be lifted up, and it was perfect.

And now with new leadership comes a new purpose and a new beginning. We welcome Coach Mike McCarthy who will help bring our beloved franchise out of the darkness. America's Team is about to rise again. HOW BOUT OUR DALLAS COWBOYS
@@cowboysnation6053 That you can count on. Once Rayne Dakota gets his contract. He will have a more experienced QB Coach(Doug Nussmeier). Both Dak and Kellen Moore will learn much from what Coach McCarthy and staff are bringing. Dak will learn how to prepare for opponents better. How to script the first 10-15 plays in a game. And how to use the entire field. Defenses will not stack the box as much. Both Zeke and Pollard will be unstoppable on the ground. This is what wins.
I love you Emmitt. You are an exceptional football player, father, friend, mentor and a true man of God. Your speech here, just proves everything I've always suspected about you. That you are a decent kind human being. God Bless You Always...... I miss you playing #22🏈 KB
I was born and raised in Pensacola, FL. Played ball against Emmitt & the Gators for 4 years. I have never and will never be a Cowboys fan. But I will always be an Emmitt fan! This man is a class act!
I hope and wish that "DALLAS COWBOYS" OF TODAY WOULD STEP UP AND BE LIKE THE TEAM OF THE 70s and 90s And will us a few more "SUPPER BOWLS !!!!!!" "HOW BOUT THEM "COWBOYS", "AMERICA'S TEAM !!!" "STEP IT UP BOYS, "WE NEED ANOTHER ,"SUPPERBOWL???" "GO COWBOYS!!!"
At 9 years old I first saw the Dallas Cowboys on TV I was stoked to watch Randy White sack the QB I was hooked from that night on I was a huge Cowboy fan then came the 90's and 3 super bowls and Jimmy Johnson brought us out of the basement to the very top of the NFL let's not forget Jay Novachek who played a huge role on these teams and Alvin Harper as well and Emmitt Troy Michael as well ty all for the memories........
While I am definitely not a cowboy fan I can as a fan appreciate and acknowledge the accomplishments of Emmitt Smith. His love for the game was very apparent especially when he hobbled out of the locker room and played hurt. His recognition of family, coaches and teammates was well thought out and spoken with class and respect. Definitely one of the better speeches that I have heard.
By FAR the best hall of fame speech EVER! One of the best speeches ever by the Best Ever. Thank You Emmett for every thing from a life long Dallas Cowboy fan- the last few Romo years. After my brother pointed out to me that Romo wasn't a winner. Winners don't walk off the field smiling after a loss nor smile thru a press conference after a loss. Winners are mad as he'll after a loss. Emmett you are a Winner. Love you man and God Bless.
I'm going to play The devil's advocate but unfortunately as a huge Dallas cowboy fan I'm going to be impartial. Barry Sanders is the greatest running back ever in my mind for a lot of reasons.one reason would be if you know anything about how short his career was and how many yards he had at that time then you would realize if he would have continued on he would have crushed the record so long as he stayed healthy.he simply retired because Detroit wouldn't trade him and he said okay to heck with it I don't care about beating the rushing title. He would have surpassed Walter Payton within a couple of years at that time. You're listening to someone that has been a cowboy fan since I can even remember. Having said that, Barry Sanders was just the greatest in my very humble opinion.go back and look at footage of his greatest runs on TH-cam and try to be impartial
Growing up in Ft Worth I was the one everybody picked on but there was something that drew me to always watch Emitt...now I know why he was a fellow brother in Christ....I knew I'd probably never meet him but I always considered him a great friend and yes we're the same age ! He was born in 69 same as me
This speech, and Michael Irvin's HOF speech, are the two greatest speeches in sports that I have ever heard. Michael laid his heart bare during his speech, and so I think his speech is 1-A and Emmitt's is 1-B. But Emmitt delivered this night like he did on the field, sheer greatness.
Simply one of the greatest sports moments of my life. To see a man who reached the pinnacle of his sports acknowledge the sacrifice of his teammate. Those who know football understand. Those who don’t will never know how much of himself Daryl gave up for Emmitt. That is what makes a great teammate, and Emmitts humility is rarely seen in todays generation of me first athletes.
He was awesome. He was surrounded by a lot of incredible talent. Aikman, Nate Newton, Michael Irving ect.. Jimmy Johnson was a pretty good coach too. How bout them Cowboys
Thank you Emmitt Smith. You were and still are my favorite player. And my hero. As a kid, I had your cards, jerseys, posters, you name it. I cant watch this without wet eyes. Forever 22
Emmett probably don’t remember me but I met him in 89 when it was raining and we went to Seattle and lost Emmett will always be my favorite player on the Cowboys I wish you could still play but I know you can’t
As Viking's fan, you are welcome Dallas. Emmitt was picked at number 17, the Viking's pick that they traded away for THE GREAT HERSCHEL WALKER!! I love Emmitt repping Pensacola, Florida too. My home town, where I watched Emmitt run over and around other high schools. He was a legend before his time. I lived less than a quarter mile from Escambia High School, where, as a middle school kid, I got to watch him almost every Friday night.
I'm a lover of the cowboys and always have been. I keep remembering the theme to that older TV show 'All in the Family' where it goes those were the days. LOL
I know the feeling. Those days were special indeed. I am fortunate to have experienced every bit of it. Of course now the team is a mere shell of what they once were. Winning in the NFL is a cycle. The teams that are great now may not be later. Even the Patriots were door mats and will be again. So as our Dallas Cowboys are in the dark. They will rise again. And if these rumors of Urban Meyer become reality. The return of America's Team to where it belongs will happen sooner than later. They WILL RISE AGAIN. How Bout Our Dallas Cowboys
@@jstube36 so since you made this comment I came back to read. As you know now Urban Meyer did not pan out.in some way I think we came out better get in McCarthy because he has a proven NFL record as a head coach whereas Urban Meyer doesn't have NFL experience. You know as well as I thatthere have been a few coaches from college who bumped up to basketball or football in the pros and didn't work out so well. Particularly the NBA.there are some exceptions of college coaches jumping up to pro sports such as Pete Carroll amongst others. Think that we have a good coach now.I am not one to think that Tony Romo should have been made head coachbut it wouldn't hurt to bring Tony Romo in as possibly a quarterback coach and or some other offensive coach. Have you ever seen Tony Romo breakdown plays before they happen??? it's a jump to go from an analyst who is very good at their job if not the best right now to being a coach in the NFL which many people have called for.assistant coach yes to get a little experience and learn the system of what coaches exactly do in specifics.sorry about such the long message that if the grammar weren't so bad should go down as a pamphlet... LOL. So we've got a good coachnow and I'm optimistic more so than I've been in a few years.but just like every Dallas cowboy fan I'll see what I've always said which is we'll get them next year man... go Dallas cowboys!
@@choice12ozborne When the possible candidates for replacing Garrett came up Meyer was the name that jumped out. He has such a record of winning. And he knew Zeke as much as anyone. That alone made me want Meyer. But I am very glad the team went with McCarthy. Coach McCarthy has been coaching in the League since 1993. And he is vastly in favor of bringing the West Coast Offense. Something I wanted for the Cowboys even with Romo. The WCO and Dak Prescott are tailor-made for each other. His best is yet to come. And the same with this franchise. America's Team is Born Again Football. And we The Cowboys Nation are Born Again Football. They WILL rise again. HOW BOUT OUR DALLAS COWBOYS
Class act all the way on and off the field everybody talks about the greatest and makes excuses about who had the best o line or who would have did what man cut the crap this man dominated on every level in his career has much respect from other HOF players and with three rings and the all time record be real you would rather have somebody talk about that than what if no disrespect to other backs but it is what it is
The Great Wall Of Dallas was and is still the best OL the games has ever seen. So the question becomes did the OL(and the Moose) make Emmitt the greatest? Or did Emmitt make them the best. I answer the same way as with Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. Joe and Jerry made each other the best ever at their positions. And the same with Emmitt, the OL and Moose Johnston. They made each other the best. And in turn made America's Team the best. How Bout Them Cowboys.
@@jstube36 I agree with you and for all the other great running backs like Barry Sanders,Jim Brown and of course Walter Payton I'm not saying they were not the best I love them all I'm a huge Barry Sanders fan he was unrea very elusivel but I just looked back at all of their highlights and Emmitt was a prototype running back like from Pop Warner and kept his style all the way and got better and better even with all the help his was the engine his whole career even when the team was older he kept getting better
Emmit, you are the man!!! Not because of your success as the best running back in history but as a man of God and the love you have for your Family!!!!!!
Mr. Emith smith thank you 🙏🏻 you will forever be my childhood hero !!! You aikman and Irving will be forever be the reason why I ride or die with my Cowboys!!!
The Moose was as good a lead-blocker as FB ever. And he was an underrated receiver. it was Bill Walsh who forever changed the role of a FB with the way he used Tom Rathman. Rathman did carry the ball a little more than Moose did. What both did was paramount in the success of two Championship offenses. Perhaps not HOF worthy. But certainly worth being forever recognized for the impact they had.
Greatest runner in NFL....easyyyyyy...I didnt watch NFL in his prime but today I watch his play for 40minutes and I CAN NOT BELIVE WHAT THIS MAN WAS DOING! You can stop him only with AK47 and thats not 100 percent sure...AMAZING,RESPECT SMITH
@@Chrism35192 Barry Sanders for many years had just as good of a line. The Cowboys only really had a great line between 1993-1998. Barry Sanders just liked being fancy, Emmitt liked winning games.
It's sad I was way too young to watch him play at his prime but Emmitt Smith I love u and thank u for everything! Greatest running back in history and most likely all-time and u have the record to prove it!
22 Emmitt Smith was the complete package. Running, receiving, blocking. The question becomes did the OL(the greatest in the history of this game) and the Moose make Emmitt the best. My answer is they made each other the best. And how sweet those days were. How Bout Them Cowboys
Barry Sanders was the greatest running back ever. I'm a cowboy fan and have been since I can even remember. Emmit had Daryl Johnston who was a great blocker. Barry Sanderswas in route to getting probably 20,000 ydes if he continued to stay healthy.he retired after only 9 or 10 years at his peak.he simply retired because his team stunk and they wouldn't trade him or release him from his contract. Go watch Barry Sanders greatest plays on TH-cam and then go watch Emmett's greatest plays on TH-cam.Barry Sanders was in a league completely by himself and it took in it quite a few more years then Barry Sanders trade to pass Walter Payton whereas Perry would have passed away within 2 seasons. Again, I am a huge cowboy fan through thick and thin and always have Ben but I'm also impartial when it comes to recognizing
@@choice12ozborne Barry was a phenom but he choked in the playoffs. They had great teams there but seriously go look up Barry Sanders playoff stats. It will open your eyes to the truth. Emmitt lead his team to what every athlete wants and that is to be a world champion. Barry didn't want the records, he didn't even want his heisman trophy. He hated the spotlight which is why I can never consider him better than Emmitt by any stretch of the imagination. The flashy plays just didn't impress me as much as the grit of a champion displayed year in and year out
@@jstube36 shit it still gets to me when he thanks Moose. He knew without others he wouldn't be the 🤴🏾, and yet Emmitt was the one who kept going even after his dynasty comrades had fallen. To me, he's ALWAYS been better than Barry, and it's mad annoying when people say "if Barry hadn't retired he'd be the G.O.A.T." or, "but Emmitt played behind the best o-line of all-time". Yeah, he also played for his CHILDHOOD team, meaning a hidden level of self-motivation that VERY FEW can ever attest to as another X-Factor. And Barry had Pro-Bowl talent around throughout his WHOLE career. It's not Emmitt's fault that Barry left early cause Detroit is cursed. Let the 🤴🏾 be the 🤴🏾
When he thanks moose....man...I lost it...credit where credits due...he blocked for all those yards, never got any glory and never wanted nor asked for it...hes part of the record and emitt knows that
I've been a cowboy fan since I can even remember.I hate to say but I believe that Barry Sanders or Bo Jackson was probably a better back. I would say Barry Sanders at number one. For all of you youngsters out there you need to keep in mind Barry Sanders didn't play that many years
I lived those great days. And while other backs were faster or had better moves, Emmitt was the COMPLETE package. Running, Catching, Blocking. The question really is this. Did The Great Wall Of Dallas, the best OL the game has EVER seen, or did Emmitt make them the best. My answer is they made each other the best ever. Barry was great as well. But as one who saw Walter Payton, I can say both are on equal footing. Like Emmitt, Sweetness was the whole package. Makes it fitting that it was Emmitt who passed up Walter. Both were very similar. Maybe I'm biased. With America's Team for 40+. So be it. For me when it comes to the RB. Emmitt 22 stands alone as the best ever.
After Walter Payton, Emmitt is the best running back...Emmitt is the reason the Cowboys are who they were in the 90's...I idolized Walter Payton and loved him and Emmitt both...There will never be running backs of their caliber again!!
Doing his father house....emmit....father was puddin....smooth...father would have played in nfl as well.....price les in the car emmitt..said no idea father doing potery....lol....my man emmit ..real brotha
Good that he gave a heads up to Daryl Johnston for the blocking. That was a classy move
Moose baby!
Yup
Moose is also the guy he spent the most time with after breaking the record. Emmitt truly understands how important Moose was to his success.
MOOOOOOSE
Moose was the first guy Emmitt hugged after he broke the all time record too.
This man right here is the SOLE reason I will die a Dallas Cowboys fan 🏈❤
I miss the old cowboys
What an incredible moving speech! Everyone that follows him into the HOF needs to think seriously about using this speech as an outline. It was humble, it lauded those along the way that should be lifted up, and it was perfect.

I do respect ur opinion but I disagree because if Barry Sanders would have an offensive line like emitt then Barry Would be the greatest Running back.
and barry played less years but i’m biassed so i prefer emmitt smith😂

THE Greatest Of ALL-TIME!!!!!

@@jstube36 shit it still gets to me when he thanks Moose. He knew without others he wouldn't be the 🤴🏾, and yet Emmitt was the one who kept going even after his dynasty comrades had fallen. To me, he's ALWAYS been better than Barry, and it's mad annoying when people say "if Barry hadn't retired he'd be the G.O.A.T." or, "but Emmitt played behind the best o-line of all-time". Yeah, he also played for his CHILDHOOD team, meaning a hidden level of self-motivation that VERY FEW can ever attest to as another X-Factor. And Barry had Pro-Bowl talent around throughout his WHOLE career. It's not Emmitt's fault that Barry left early cause Detroit is cursed. Let the 🤴🏾 be the 🤴🏾
This is simply amazing
When he thanks moose....man...I lost it...credit where credits due...he blocked for all those yards, never got any glory and never wanted nor asked for it...hes part of the record and emitt knows that
I've been a cowboy fan since I can even remember.I hate to say but I believe that Barry Sanders or Bo Jackson was probably a better back. I would say Barry Sanders at number one. For all of you youngsters out there you need to keep in mind Barry Sanders didn't play that many years
I lived those great days. And while other backs were faster or had better moves, Emmitt was the COMPLETE package. Running, Catching, Blocking. The question really is this. Did The Great Wall Of Dallas, the best OL the game has EVER seen, or did Emmitt make them the best. My answer is they made each other the best ever. Barry was great as well. But as one who saw Walter Payton, I can say both are on equal footing. Like Emmitt, Sweetness was the whole package. Makes it fitting that it was Emmitt who passed up Walter. Both were very similar. Maybe I'm biased. With America's Team for 40+. So be it. For me when it comes to the RB. Emmitt 22 stands alone as the best ever.
10 seasons is a lot for a RB, especially these days. Gale Sayers and Terrell Davis didn’t play many years.
After Walter Payton, Emmitt is the best running back...Emmitt is the reason the Cowboys are who they were in the 90's...I idolized Walter Payton and loved him and Emmitt both...There will never be running backs of their caliber again!!
If there has ever been someone who deserves a hot wife, it's Emmitt. What a gorgeous family.
Emmitt Smith excellent job on your speech.
I wonder why he never mention Jay Novick in his speech. The TE plays a big part in his yardage
The man deserves this, he earned it.
Mooooooosssssseeeeee!!!
I played ball with MOOSE in H.S. and college at Syracuse. He is such an awesome man ! Great people.

As a Washington fan, face it. If Emmitt died prematurely, Moose was getting his kids...
