Emmitt Smith Wins Dancing with the Stars

It was a partisan crowd that cheered former NFL great Emmitt Smith onto victory at the Dancing with the Stars finale on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

While Smith and fellow celebrity finalist Mario Lopez received identical scores on Tuesday night's show, it was Smith's fan base that voted him and professional dance partner Cheryl Burke onto victory.

Smith, 37, beat out the former Saved by the Bell star in the third season of the popular ballroom dance show.

"I am so proud of this trophy and I am proud to share it with Cheryl," Smith said while gold-colored confetti fell from above. "We worked our tails off."
