Troy Aikman tells the TRUTH behind his NFL Retirement.

Troy Aikman sits down with Joe Buck to talk about his true story of his retirement.

[matthewalkman]

He was so smart to retire when he did. Dallas wasn’t ever getting any better since 97 and he knew it was down from there

[roberthuber]

If Jerry kept Jimmy around and just stayed out of the way Dallas would have been the Patriots before Tom Brady ever started his run. They had all the right pieces and Jimmy knew exactly what players he needed coming out of the draft each year to keep the team winning championships. Classic case of pride coming before the fall with Jerry running everything into the ground. Damn shame too.

Translation: I would never play for Barry Switzer again lol

[moegonzalez]

That’s a statement from the heart. God bless him.

Concussions knocked both Aikmen & Steve Young out of the league

[ashleighelizabeth]

The Landry/JJ curse. This is what comes of shitting all over the best two coaches the team ever had.

[jeremycummings]

I knew it was toxic towards the end but I didn't realize just how toxic it all became at the end of that cowboys

[gavinbrando]

Growing up I remember thinking that this guy was the quintessential Jock and that went from his cool name to being an athlete in the best position in American sports for America's team and then what he looked like and I didn't realise until later he didn't have the negative connotations that I figured he did. I respect the man behind that image I had of him as am English kid watching them win those superbowls from afar.

[mesomemore]

Think about this. He treated Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson the same.

[MagicFingers]

Most UNDERRATED Super Bowl Champion Quarterback ever. & I'm not even a Cowboys fan.

[OverlandingArmyVeteran]

So glad you retired!!! from a 49ers fan :) much respect for Aikman!

[filthymcnasty]

Troy was one concussion away from oblivion when he retired...

[johnmaciolek]

You was the enemy, but I knew just how good you were and Im glad you retired and made the Hall, cause you left a legacy, the Cowboys havent came close to duplicate. You was the leader of the triplets and you guys were outstanding. Enemy or not, class and professionalism will always be remember as your best traits. Go Eagles

[ThomasGlynnJr]

Switzer was beyond horrible, but everyone knows, literally EVERYONE, there is only one reason the Cowboys haven't been to the Superbowl in 3 decades - and it is Jerry Jones. He's an undeniably talented businessman, but a pathetically bad general manager. They will NEVER be great again until he sells the team or gives up that control.

Lifetime 49er fan. 3rd generation. Jerry Jones is the best gift the Cowboys have ever given us.
Jimmy Johnson was the worst thing the Cowboys ever gave us.

[rogersawyer]

never was a cowboys fan but I had a lot of respect for Aikman.and Emmitt Smith.

[edwardruiz]
