Emmitt Smith becomes the All time leading rusher Vs. Seattle 2002

[@mondoarchuleta4909]

To see the Moose and Emmit hug was respect. Hearing them cry and thank each other awesome. Watched that game had tears. Much respect to Walter. Sweetness will never be forgotten.

[@lupinvash3]

It’s more meaningful when Smith gave a big shootout to Moose when Smith got inducted to the HOF

[@janettamcgee8124]

Emmitt got so emotional during his HOF while he was addressing Moose. It made me cry. Emmitt always gave credit to Moose.

[@Brad88ford]

Probably will be one record that will never be broken. Especially with the league going mostly passing

Moose and Emmitt hugging each other while Emmitt was crying was beautiful. These 2 Guys fought, clawed, sweat, and bled together on the Field. RESPECT!!!!

[@camaro25]

How the hell was he underrated? Moose is considered one of, if not the best fullback to play the game. He is not underrated. He's held in high regards as a fullback and it's well deserved.

[@jonathanriojas2177]

No matter what other handshake, hugs, congratulations Emmit got that night. Nothing probably ever meant more to him than embracing his teammate who he truly loved like a brother. Beautiful moment.

Also Pat Summeral n John Madden didn’t say anything about it. They didn’t wanna take away from the moment the stadium got caught up in. Go Emmitt! Go Cowboys!

[@Caladesi143]

On this day 20 years ago Emmitt became the greatest rb of all time. Congratulations Emmitt!!

[@joshlight6892]

Not really. Running for more yards doesn't mean he was better than Payton or Sanders, just means he hung around longer. Walter Payton was still in good health at the end of his career and conceivably could have hung around another year or two and made it to 18000 or even 19000 yards. He had nothing to prove at the time, he already had both a Super Bowl ring and had the rushing record by a mile. Barry Sanders also retired young when he was still good. Emmitt was a beast don't get me wrong, but the most yards doesn't necessarily mean you were the best. He also had way better O-Lines than either Payton or Sanders.

Funny, this morning I was watching the Cardinals @ Cowboys game Oct 7, 1984.That is the day Payton broke Jim Brown's record vs the Oilers. The run he broke it on was a small 3 yard run, an ugly run. At least this was a little bit of a better run to break Payton's record. They should have had Troy do this game and given Moose the day off to celebrate with Emmitt because there is NO other person more responsible for this record than Moose.

I was at the Jags and Thanksgiving Day Redskins game this year and THANK GOD we won both games and he was one of the main reasons we won. I still need a Hutchinson jersey, preferably in a double star jersey. Anyone have one for sale let me know. Thanks. From this team I have Two Woodson, One Galloway, Matt Lehr, Brandon Noble, James Whalen,Peter Hunter,Quincy, Bryant and three Dat Nyquen jerseys.

My Favorite running backs of all time: 1. TONY DORSETT 2. Emmitt Smith 3. Duane Thomas (people really do not understand how great he was. Jim Brown said that other Duane was the best RB after he retired) 4. Gale Sayers 5. Marcus Allen 6. Walter Payton 7. Eric Dickerson 8. Curtis Martin and 10. Zeke, Yes it is a biased list. LOL. Why no Barry Sanders? 3 reasons. 1. He sucked short yardage 2 Was average catching the ball out of the back field and 3. Quit on his team. The biggest load of bullshit I have heard as far as backs go is "There was never a prettier runner like Barry." Biggest load of bullshit. Dorsett and Sayers were just as pretty a runnier if not more so because they did more things than Barry. When I think back as to which running backs killed us the most? It always comes back to one person: Eric Dickerson.

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

Earl Campbell was great, he was tougher....I will take JIM BROWN any day of the week over Earl. Also Earl sucked catching the ball out of he back field. Jim Brown was a 100 times tougher than Campbell, hell Jim Brown barely wore elbow pads. CHECKMATE

This is the dumbest comment I ever read. First off. They never passed to Barry. They had three 1,000 yard receivers Moore, Morton, and Perriman. The first team to that.

I sent Woodson a check for $10to put to the fine. I still have the bank receipt of him casing the check LOL I put a note in it buy some lunch. Also, not for nothing...it would have been nice of Mr. Smith (as he would demand kids to call him then still he would not sign for them) if he showed up at Irvin's court dates to support him.

Most fans who bad mouth him never saw him play or do not remember him...or they scapegoat his career with "well he was surrounded by probowlers on the line...which was not true. Emmitt played with one hall of fame lineman, Larry Allen. He didn't join the team till 94.

Barry never really played football for the accolades he played for the shear love of the game. He never quit on the Lions he knew the Lions were never going to be an elite team. They didn’t want to pay him or trade him they only wanted to benefit financially off of him. That is why Megatron retired I am a Cowboys fan. But between the two Barry would have destroyed that record. But he knew it was gonna come with a price so he chose his body and family and walked away early

[@TalkMyShiit]

The Lions made the playoffs with Barry... he was just a one man show to be honest. They got to the 1991 NFC Title Game and lost to the Packers in a few Wildcard games... he simply got tired of playing for no reason with no expectation of winning a championship. He signed that contract and that kept him in purgatory in Motown.
