He's also one of the most likable people on the field or in the booth, which makes it so much fun to poke fun at him. It's like joking around with your buddy (except you've never met him, he has millions of dollars, and can beat you at any contest of physical prowess).

I can also see that it may be offensive to do so if the person is poor and uneducated, but Emmett shouldn't fit either of these categories (assuming he actually studied in college). When we're speaking informally with our friends, family, etc., most of us use slang, etc. and we can all agree that this is acceptable. We're talking about sporting news, but if your local anchorperson or a subject matter expert on their program began shredding the English language on the air in a similar manner, you would be left scratching your head as to how they could be employed as such. Emmett kind of reminds me of that old In Living Color sketch where Damon Wayans would use a bunch of long, multi-syllable words that made no sense together, " Allow me to pontificate. The precipitation of the situation is equal and opposite to the maturation of my flatulation (pffffftttt!!!!)."

Because espn is paying emmitt to speak and he is only screwing up the English language every time he does.

His friends and family need to do an "intervention" and let this guy know he's making an ass of himself. What's so painful is that this guy was such an amazing competitor on the field. Now, instead of being remembered for getting the Cowboys into the playoffs by beating the Giants, essentially by himself, while he was hurt, he'll be remembered as a jackass that didn't know when to shut up. Sad. At this point, ESPN is just using this guy as a “freak show” exhibit. His friends and family need to do an “intervention” and let this guy know he’s making an ass of himself.
