i had a professor who went to some kind of conference where Emmitt Smith was a motivational speaker
dude said he was shocked at how good Emmitt's speech was (i think it was about finding meaning and purpose in life) and how eloquent he was...and this was a few years ago before he got on TV.
that story always had me like
when I saw him commentating, but i think it may be about scripted vs unscripted like dude said
