But why does Smith hate the Cowboys so much? What is it about the franchise that ticks the NFL analyst off? Well, the answer seems to be personal.
Smith stated that he was once head over heels for a girl back in high school who was a Dallas Cowboys fan.
“The truth is, she was my first girl. My first love. And I’ll never forget her for as long as I live,” Smith had said while appearing on ESPN.
“Unfortunately though, here’s what I remember most, that damn No. 33 Cowboys jersey she always wore.”

The girl leaving Smith deeply impacted the analyst, and it’s clearly a grudge he still holds on to.
“It’s undeniable when you remember January 5, 1985. The day after the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Los Angeles Rams in the playoffs. Recalling that you were dumped because Tony Dorsett rushed for only 58 yards in a playoff loss,” said Smith.
