Porcher says Emmitt Smith should have retired earlier
Detroit defensive end Robert Porcher says Emmitt Smith erred by not retiring after last season. Porcher believes Smith overstayed his welcome and notes many great players struggle to say goodbye. Smith, NFL rushing leader, said he would miss four to five weeks after breaking his left shoulder blade in a loss last week. He has 192 rushing yards and one touchdown in five games with the Cardinals. The NFL warned Buccaneers and Redskins that pregame hostilities would not be tolerated after Arrington and Sapp exchanged threats and disrespectful actions.
