Take the ES out of ESPN: Emmitt Smith out at the World Wide
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take the ES out of ESPN: Emmitt Smith out at the World Wide Leader Official word is set to trickle down from Bristol.
Emmitt Smith's 2-year contract is up and it won't be renewed.
"We thank Emmitt for his contributions to ESPN and work ethic the past two years. We wish him all the best," ESPN spokesman Bill Hoffheimer said.
That this would happen became obvious during ESPN's Super Bowl coverage which did not include Smith, the former Cowboys great and surefire Hall of Famer.
Smith simply wasn't a natural behind a mike. Better to remember the NFL's all-time leading rusher for his work behind blockers.
Note: Networks like to pass on news of this type on Fridays when the news cycles are winding down. Hirings come early in the week. Separations late on Fridays.
