You gotta like Aikman

I've always liked this guy even though he played for a team Redskins fans despise. A man of his word.

Aikman getting college degree 20 years later - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Can't say many people would do the same thing. The guy is easily the best TV man right now, too.

AND, I can afford to like him now that he's not bombing the Skins for 40 yards a crack on Sunday's

Re: You gotta like Aikman

Can anyone picture Troy Aikman sitting in a class taking a final exam and having the "I-have-a-concussion" Troy Aikman face on him? LOL.

Aikman's Exam:

Q: What is the last thing you remember?
A: The underside of the bench.

Q: What was the name of that bus?
A: LaVar Arrington.

Seriously, he was always a class act (as was Emmitt Smith). Respected adversaries who had terrific careers. This is nice.

Re: You gotta like Aikman

Troy was one of the few people I respected on the old Boy's team(the little I remember). Always a professional and standup guy. Plus he is great on TV, unbias and insightful.

Same can't be said about JT, the real JT.

Re: You gotta like Aikman

I assume I'm the only dissenting opinion here?

Is anyone old enough to remember their super bowl years of the early nineties? I guess I'll abstain from a detailed opinion on this guy but safe to say I don't like him and certainly won't be gushing over him.

Also what kind of non-story is Aikman getting his degree 20 years too late? The only reason this story is interesting is if you give Aikman more pats on the back than he already has.

Nice guy or whatever, I still don't like him no matter how much he or this media source tries.
