Smith currently holds the NFL record in career rushing yards with 18,355, breaking the previous record held by Walter Payton, on October 27, during the 2002 NFL season. He leads all running backs with 164 career rushing touchdowns, and his 175 total touchdowns ranks him second only to Jerry Rice’s 207 touchdowns. The sum of his rushing yards, receiving yards (3,224) and fumble return yards (-15), gave him a total of 21,564 yards from the line of scrimmage, making him one of only four players in NFL history to eclipse the 21,000-combined yards mark.

Smith also accumulated a number of NFL postseason records, including rushing touchdowns (19), consecutive games with a rushing touchdown (9) and 100-yard rushing games (7). His 1,586 yards rushing is also top on the NFL postseason chart, and he shares the total playoff touchdown mark of 21 with Thurman Thomas. Smith is one of only five NFL players who have amassed over 10,000 career-rushing yards and 400 career receptions. Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice are the only two non-kickers to score 1000 points in a career.”

Wow. That’s pretty amazing. What an incredible career Emmitt had. It’s also pretty cool that after he retired, he’s lived a pretty low key life, out of the spotlight, without a thought of tarnishing his awe-inspiring legacy. If I were company like Reebok, the company Emmitt endorsed for so very long, I would probably have some qualms about retroing shoes Smith wore during his several championship seasons, just because it might bring him back into the public eye he’s tried so hard to keep out of the past 3-4 years.

What’s that? Huh? You’re kidding.

Oh.

Well that fucker wore Nike at the end of his career, didn’t he? Let’s make some money off his green-armbanded ass!

Enter the Reebok Pay Dirt Pump.

All kidding aside…these are fucking FRESH. Shoes nowadays need more totally unnecessary straps and random plastic pieces on them. That’s what’s up.
