Day 2 Black History Month: Emmitt Smith was my childhood hero when I was growing up. Groomed to be a Pittsburgh Steelers fan by my Dad, I remember watching a Dallas Cowboys game at my Grandparents' house and seeing Emmitt score 4 rushing TDs against the Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals. I began to like and follow Emmitt's career from there, BEFORE the Super Bowl wins! He wasn't the greatest RB of All-Time (Walter Payton), but he worked hard and NEVER gave up. Emmitt wasn't the fastest either. I just could relate to him and really liked his work ethic and determination. Thank you Emmitt Smith!
