Troy Aikman made it to pro football's Hall of Fame today. (Michael Irvin missed the cut).
I think Aikman may be the most boring speaker on the face of the planet, but I'll give him credit for spending most of his time today thanking those that helped get him there.
And he made a special effort to thank Jerry Jones. For all of you that criticize Jerry, I don't understand it. Jones wants to win and spends a ton of money to get there. You couldn't ask for anything more.

Barry we could have had 4 or 4 rings in the 90's if Jerry didn't get the big head and fire Jimmy.
Yes I would....
What I think is the funniest is that, of all my friends who are FORMER Cowboy fans, they all say the same thing:
"I didn't like the way he fired Tom Landry."
Well, that was nearly 20 years ago. It was kinda sad, but Landry was losing touch and was on a down streak. Yes, he was a great man, but pro football is about winning, and I appreciate the fact that Jerry Jones has given his all to make the Cowboys better. Did he have a learning curve with the Jimmy Johnson thing? Yes. But he's always been fiercely loyal to the Cowboys and their fans.
JOnes is clueless. Because of his meddling we have had the longest payoff win drought in Cowboy history with no end in sight. All of the owners want to win. Most of them don't know how. Jerry is the poster boy for that group. 10:11 is correct, we probaby would have had 5 if Jimmy had stayed.
I will give him credit as a merketer though. He has invented ways to make money for himself and the NFL that no one else thought of.
I'm with Anon @ 2:33--let's hear it for the 'Daddys,' or 'Cats,' in all of us women. Troy Aikman? Any day......=)
