Nothing is more moving to me than an emotional speech.

Schadenfreude alert: In an effort to make NFL Countdown watchable again, ESPN has booted the Bristol Butcher, Emmitt Smith, from the show in favor of newbie Cris Carter. The leading rusher in NFL history/quote machine has also been “reassigned” to provide NFL banter on Sunday morning Sportscenter, where he’ll share the spotlight with seasoned TV [...]

The signs were all there that Emmit Smith's time mumbling, bumbling, stumbling on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown was going to be short-lived, especially when the WWL picked up Cris Carter post-"Inside...
