A Triplet Finds A New Home

The Dallas Cowboys.

i have been a fan as far back as i can remember. i saw them play in Irving on Thanksgiving Day in 1986 against the Seahawks, and i have also made recent trips to Atlanta and Indy to see them play. Tom Landry in his tweed fedora prowling the sidelines...Tony Dorsett's 33...Danny White's 11...Drew Pearson's 89, Emmitt Smith's 22, Michael Irvin's 88, and finally, Troy Aikman's 8.

Troy Aikman was the man of the day for Cowboys fans as he took to the stage to be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. after a disasterous rookie season, he became one of the best and most accurate quarterbacks in NFL history. of course, he had some help along they way: Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Alvin Harper, Jay Novachek, "Moose" Johnston, and one of the best offensive lines in the history of football.

Some stats:
> Cowboys’ first-round draft pick (1st player overall), 1989
> Led team to three Super Bowl wins
> Winningest starting quarterback of any decade with 90 of 94 career wins occurring in 1990s
> Held or tied 47 Dallas passing records
> Posted 13 regular season and four playoff 300-yard passing games
> Named to six Pro Bowls, All-Pro 1993, All-NFC Second Team 1994, 1995
> 11-4 career post season record
> Career statistics include 32,942 yards passing and 165 touchdowns for a passer rating of 81.6
> Finished with the 4th highest completion percentage in NFL history

i am glad to see Troy get his due with his HOF induction, and i will predict that he won't be the only Cowboy from this era to be inducted one day...
