Aikman’s Rookie Year Woes
In the 1989 draft Troy Aikman was the number 1 pick by the Dallas Cowboys. Aikman’s NFL career started with a 29-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints, and then the following week, Aikman threw his first touchdown pass, a 65 yard completion to Michael Irvin. In a game against the Phoenix Cardinals he threw for 379 yards to set an NFL rookie record. He finished 1989 with a 0-11 record as a starter. Following his rookie season, Dallas selected Florida Gators running back Emmitt Smith in the first round of the 1990 NFL draft. With Emmitt Smith and wide receiver Michael Irvin, Aikman nearly led the Cowboys to the playoffs in the 1990 season.
In Super Bowl XXVII against the Buffalo Bills, Aikman got his first test of the NFL’s most watched game and I think he passed with flying colors winning in a blowout victory of 52-17. This is why throwback Dallas Cowboys jerseys of Troy Aikman are very popular and still one of the best ways we all can show our support for one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
Bruce Smith’s Election Over Due
With his retirement close to 6 years ago, former Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins defensive end Bruce Smith was announced as a nominee for the 2009 Hall of Fame and was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 8, 2009. It has been an inevitable event for this stand up defensive player. Having been named the defensive player of the year in 1987, 1988, 1990 and 1996 and elected into 11 Pro Bowls during his long career, people want to remember his contribution to the game.
Having been a first-round draft choice in 1985, he is also the NFL’s all-time career sack leader (200), Smith’s 13 seasons with 10 or more sacks is also an NFL record. Owning a couple of buffalo bills jerseys is a great way to support the Bills and Smith.
