Emmitt Smith was voted into the Football Hall of Fame this weekend, becoming the third of the 3-time '90s champion Cowboys to be voted in, following the other two "Triplets," Troy Aikman and Michale Irvin. Picking my favorite Cowboy from those glory years is tough, but gun to my head, Emmitt would probably be the one. He embodied the tough-side of the Cowboys in those years, playing hurt often and running through defenses that were three times his size. Emmitt finished as the all-time leading rusher with over 18,000 yards, and sorry, Barry Sanders fans, he is the greatest running back of all time. Congrats, Emmitt, looking forward to seeing you join your contemporaries in Canton.
