Troy Aikman

As a former player, I have a real appreciation for a guy like Aaron Rodgers and how much time he puts into his craft and how good he is doing it.

A lot of coaches and players get so tunnel-visioned that when they do have some time off, they spend it concentrating on the game.

If head coaches weren't important to the success of a team, then owners wouldn't fire them all the time.

I have a real hard time classifying anything as my biggest moment, my favorite color or whatever.

Not long ago, every time I did a picture shoot for a magazine, the photographer would ask me to show up wearing jeans and cowboy boots. They seemed to think I was a hillbilly. Now it's different. Now they're not quite sure what to make of me. And I show up wearing whatever I want.

I'm happy to do some endorsements if I believe in the product. You're only in this game a short time, and you want to collect the money while you can.

I'll never forget when I was 12 years old. I couldn't wait until the day I was 16 and could drive a car. I thought that'd be the end of life's problems. I mean, you can drive! What is there left? And then I turned 16 and realized there were still problems.

I have often said social media is a race to the bottom.

When I work a Cowboys game, my social media will blow up with, 'Hey, don't forget who you played for,' or, 'You traitor.'
