Emmitt Smith is Just For Men

Ok, so the title may sound a bit misleading. Although I DO love my gay menz, for the purpose of this post, it ain't that kind of party.

I'm sure many of you have seen Emmitt Smith starring in the newest Just for Men hair color commercial. I haven't been on top of my TV game too much recently, so I think that is why I'm a little behind the curve on this one.

Smith joins a long line of well known Just for Men sports veterans including Keith
Hernandez, former MLB star and Mets analyst for SportsNet, New York and Walt Frazier, former NBA hero and Madison Square Garden's lead Knicks analyst to produce this commercial.

Check out video of the commercial below!

Emmitt Smith supports Barack Obama

The former Dallas Cowboy running back and current ESPN announcer pumped up the crowd at the Reunion Arena in Dallas on Wednesday when he introduced Barack Obama.



After Emmitt's rousing introduction, Obama responded in delight:
"I knew he could play football. I knew he could dance. But I didn't know that he could fire up a crowd the way Emmitt Smith fires up a crowd...I'm just glad he's not running for president."

The endorsement marks the most public declaration by a sports broadcaster during this election season. ESPN currently does not have a network policy that prohibits broadcasters from making their political preferences public information.

Do you think it's the network/broadcaster's responsibility to remain publicly, politically neutral in order to maintain journalistic integrity? Do these rules apply in the world of sports and entertainment? It's a fine line...
