VIDEO: Emmitt Smith and Daryl Johnston in Brokeback Mountain
In case you missed the NFL’s Hall of Fame ceremonies from Canton over the weekend, one of the highlights was Emmitt Smith‘s emotional acceptance speech, where he tearfully thanked his former Cowboy teammates Daryl Johnston, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin. It was genuine heartfelt moment in a sport where emotions are usually downplayed in favor of bravado; one that gave chills to even the most cynical football fan.
Well, it was only a matter of time before the internet took that moment and turned it into a trailer for Brokeback Mountain, right?
I don’t know, it’s still pretty touching to me.
