What they're saying

"
Troy Aikman’s NFL experience earned him a spot in the Miami Dolphins‘ front office, but he made sure it didn’t trouble his broadcasting career. “The reason I [agreed to the Dolphins job] was that I’ve been asked a lot over the years if I had any interest in being a general manager, and I always thought that’s what I would do when I retired, quite honestly,” Aikman said on Dallas Dialogue with Dale.
