Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith is "sick" of watching his Dallas Cowboys' Super Bowl drought.
The Philadelphia Eagles winning two Super Bowls, including February's, only adds to the frustration.
"I’m sick of it," Smith told Sports Radio 94WIP. "We have allowed others to nitpick at the star and make fun of the star, and that’s what happens.
