How Troy Aikman’s vacation plans were wrecked by the Dallas Cowboys’ playoff exit, which surprised him
Tri-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Troy Aikman discussed the success of
North Texas in hosting Super Bowls, Final Fours, and the upcoming World Cup,
clearly not losing sight of the irony of the conversation or the occasion.
As Aikman acknowledged, “everything Jerry talked about and bringing to North Texas
and what an asset that stadium would be, really has come to fruition.
Everything’s paid off and looking forward to when we get another Super Bowl and
hopefully our Cowboys will be in it,” he also praised Cowboys owner Jerry Jones
for his vision in creating AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
At that moment, Aikman realized he had prepared himself for the inevitable shift to
talking about the Cowboys’ postseason season-ending loss to the Green Bay Packers
and the 29-year span since the team’s last Super Bowl victory (which came in 1995).
On another note, Aikman claimed that, like everyone else,
he was taken aback by the Cowboys’ humiliating home loss to the
Packers in AT&T Stadium to cap off a 12-5 campaign.
Aikman’s season as a football analyst concluded last weekend, and he had intended to
attend this weekend’s NFC title game in San Francisco to watch the Cowboys take on the 49ers.
