The Fleetfooted Emmitt

I’m sure my family, a large part of the Dallas Cowboys fan-base, will be happy to hear that Emmitt Smith has won the US version of Dancing with the Stars.

Cowboy’s owner Jerry Jones had this to say:

Although we are all thrilled, we should not be surprised. … If Emmitt Smith is on your team, there is a good chance you are going to win.

Preach it brother. More importantly though, for a man whose quick footwork allowed him to dance around opponents on the field to an all-time rushing record in the NFL, that he would be able to dance a mean rhumba shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise. Admittedly there may have been as much running over the top of opponents as there was quickstepping around them, but the activity still lends itself to creating a better dancer than Molly Meldrum was in the Australian version.
