DALLAS — ESPN has decided after two seasons that former Dallas Cowboys great Emmitt Smith doesn't cut it as an NFL analyst.

Spokesmen for the all-sports television network told The Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that Smith's contract, which expired this month, would not be renewed.

Smith retired after the 2004 season as the NFL's all-time leading rusher, but he has been criticized for his television work, which has included appearances on ESPN's "Monday Night Countdown" and "NFL Sunday Countdown" shows.
