Dallas Cowboy legend to join NFL programming on the network.
(March 13, 2007)
*"Dancing With the Stars" champ Emmitt Smith has quickstepped
his way into a plush new gig as a studio analyst for sports cable
channel ESPN.
The NFL's all-time leading rusher and winner of the ballroom
dance competition on ABC will now work for its Disney sister station
as a commentator on "NFL Countdown" and "Monday Night Countdown," as
well as ESPN Radio and ESPN.com, the network announced Monday.
"I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and insight of
football with the fans of the NFL," Smith said in a statement. "I am
excited to be joining the ESPN family, particularly the highly
respected Countdown crews."
Smith will take a seat next to Chris Berman, analysts Mike
Ditka, Tom Jackson and Ron Jaworski, and reporter Chris Mortensen
on "NFL Countdown."
The Dallas Cowboys veteran will join Berman, Jackson, Mortensen
and analyst Steve Young for the "Monday Night Countdown" show each
week from the site of the "Monday Night Football" match up.
