Emmitt Smith sure is versatile. He's the NFL's all-time leading rusher, a Dancing With the Stars champion, a professional broadcaster and a record-setting dish washer. The folks at Awful Announcing, a blog that writes about Emmitt a lot, found this video of Emmitt washing a 10-foot dish to get his name in the Guinness Book of World Records. "This right here's a piece of cake incomparable to the things I had to do on the football field," Emmitt said ever so eloquently.

There's a lot of discussion this week about the best quarterbacks in NFL history, because folks are trying to figure out where Tom Brady fits on the list. Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach, the Cowboys' Hall of Famers, are also in the discussion. ESPN.com, relying on the opinions of a panel of experts, put together a top 10 list. 1. Johnny Unitas 2. Joe Montana 3. Tom Brady 4. Dan Marino 5. Peyton Manning 6. John Elway 7. Terry Bradshaw 8. Brett Favre 9. Otto Graham 10. Dan Fouts You'll notice that no fella who wore a star on the side of his helmet cracked that list. But the panel picked Aikman as the best pocket passer and Staubach as the coolest customer. ColdHardFootballFacts.com put together a top 10 list, too. It ranked Green Bay's Bart Starr, who was omitted from ESPN.com's top 10, as the best. No Aikman on this one, either, but Staubach is ranked seventh. The entry "Where do Cowboys QBs rank among all-time greats?" is tagged: Roger Staubach , Tom Brady , Troy Aikman I must admit that I'm stunned that Eli Manning led the Giants to the Super Bowl. I should have listened to Emmitt Smith. "If they win today," Emmitt told ESPN's audience, "they could possibly go on to the Super Bowl and make an appearance there." Breaking news: The NFL has confirmed that the Giants definitely will go to the Super Bowl. The entry "Emmitt knew this was possible" is tagged: Emmitt Smith , ESPN , New York Giants Barry Horn reports that Michael Irvin will co-host a daily show on ESPN-FM 103.3 in Dallas/Fort Worth. It'll air from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sure is an upgrade over Stephen A. Smith. The entry "ESPN Radio likes Mike" is tagged: Michael Irvin On what would have been his 65th birthday, Cowboys legend Bob Hayes was given a fitting final resting place. Jean-Jacques Taylor has the details of a day that has been five years in the making. Hopefully, Hayes gets his rightful spot in the Hall of Fame soon, too.
