On Monday Night Football, reacting to a roughing the passer penalty, Troy Aikman made a comment that he now regrets.
Aikman appeared on 96.7 the Ticket in Dallas on Thursday for his weekly visit with The Musers, and apologized for making the comment that he hoped the NFL would look to “take the dresses off” the players during the offseason.
“My comments were dumb, just shouldn’t have made them,” Aikman said. “Just dumb remarks on my part.”
“But the other part of… what came from that, what I said was that it implied that I’m not in favor of protecting the quarterbacks, which could not be further from the truth. I’m totally in favor of the protection that the quarterbacks are afforded, and all players for that matter. But there’s no question there has been over-enforcement of the protection for quarterbacks.”
