Troy Aikman criticizes Cowboys' playoff shortcomings and team structure

Troy Aikman expressed frustration over the Dallas Cowboys' 31-year championship drought on the 'Dallas Dialogue with Dale' podcast. Aikman emphasized that the team’s management, particularly Jerry Jones, has played a role in the lack of playoff successes. He noted that the loyal Cowboys fanbase deserves better from one of sports' flagship franchises.
