Podcast appearances and mentions of Troy Aikman

Today on The Biggest Game, former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson, the architect of the team of the 90's, explains how the most crucial building block in the Cowboys' dynasty wasn't named Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, or Michael Irvin. His name was Herschel Walker. Because trading Walker to the Minnesota Vikings on October 12, 1989 gave Dallas five players and three draft picks to jump start their rebuild. But for Jimmy Johnson, it was getting the option to cut those players in exchange for Vikings draft picks that changed everything. Coach Johnson, former Cowboys safety Darren Woodson, longtime Dallas media members Norm Hitzges and Ron St. Angelo, and Minnesota radio voice Dan Barreiro break it all down, on The Biggest Game.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to Joe Thomas naming the defense, not the offense, as Todd Monken's biggest challenge this season, agreeing that losing the best pass rusher in football history makes Mason Graham and the rest of the defensive line much harder to evaluate going forward. They debate whether Jared Verse's leadership can offset losing Myles Garrett's pure sack production, while questioning how much the locker room actually misses Garrett emotionally given his more reserved personality. The conversation shifts to a viral graphic comparing Shedeur Sanders' rough rookie stats to Hall of Fame quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Troy Aikman, with Ken arguing the comparison is silly but not worth getting mad about since fans made similar reaches for Baker Mayfield and Evan Mobley in the past. They close by previewing Justin Termini's 9 o'clock segment on the worsening sports gambling scandal landscape.

The phone lines explode as Browns fans weigh in on whether Shedeur Sanders has to start to justify keeping him on the roster. Callers largely back Ken and Daryl Ruiter's stance that trading or cutting him over a backup role would be foolish, pointing to the upgraded offensive line and receiving corps as reasons to let him develop behind Deshaun Watson. One caller compares Sanders' situation to Troy Aikman's rocky rookie season, arguing growing pains are normal for young quarterbacks. The segment wraps with a tease of upcoming Cavaliers and Guardians coverage later in the show.

This week on Next on the Tee, three champions join me to share stories that go far beyond sports. Legendary sports agent Leigh Steinberg, 1984 NCAA Champion John Inman, and Olympic Gold Medalist Scott Hamilton open up about overcoming adversity, leadership, perseverance, and the lessons they've learned at the highest levels of competition. Leigh Steinberg takes us inside his remarkable journey from representing some of the biggest names in sports to battling alcoholism, losing everything, and fighting his way back. We discuss his inspiring new book, The Comeback: A Playbook for Turning Life's Setbacks Into Victories, the heartfelt foreword written by Troy Aikman, the importance of giving back, the changing landscape of college athletics, NIL, sports gambling, and what true success really means. John Inman returns to share his thoughtful perspective on today's college sports environment, whether NIL has shifted the balance too far toward athletes, the growing influence of gambling across sports, and why fan behavior is becoming a concern in professional golf. He also reflects on his unforgettable years at the University of North Carolina during one of the greatest championship eras in college athletics. Then, Olympic legend Scott Hamilton joins me for one of the most inspiring conversations we've ever had. Scott looks back on carrying the American flag during the 1980 Winter Olympics, shares behind-the-scenes stories from Lake Placid and his friendship with legendary skier Ingemar Stenmark, discusses covering his 10th Winter Olympics for NBC, and explains why one simple message has become his philosophy for living a joyful life: our possessions are just "garbage"—it's our relationships, experiences, and gratitude that truly matter. Whether you're passionate about golf, sports, leadership, personal growth, or simply need a reminder that setbacks don't define your future, this episode delivers unforgettable stories, practical wisdom, and a healthy dose of Vitamin G—gratitude. #GolfPodcast #Golf #GolfLife #GolfTips #GolfInstruction #GolfCommunity #Golfers #PGA #PGATour #GolfLegends #GolfHistory #MentalGame #SportsPodcast #Podcast #Leadership #Resilience #Comeback #NeverGiveUp #PersonalGrowth #Motivation #Inspiration #SuccessMindset #LeighSteinberg #ScottHamilton #JohnInman #TroyAikman #Olympics #OlympicChampion #FigureSkating #CollegeSports #NIL #SportsBusiness #SportsLeadership #SportsAgent #SportsGambling #NorthCarolinaGolf #ChampionMindset #PeakPerformance #WinningMindset #VitaminG #Gratitude #NextOnTheTee

We kick off with the Giants trading Dexter Lawrence for a top-ten pick and the Knicks' playoff momentum at the Garden before diving into the Yankees' sweep of the Royals and the Mets' disastrous 11-game losing streak. Along the way, we tackle a bizarre chess cheating scandal, Francisco Lindor's struggles, and Troy Aikman's illegible autograph at Boomer's charity event. Everything from Shaq and Barkley's take on Ice Spice to the Sabres snapping a 15-year playoff drought, plus AJ Brown trade rumors and Disney's massive $10 million Super Bowl ad price tag.

We discuss Troy Aikman's illegible autograph and Al's missing donation credit at Boomer's charity event before Gio recounts his Sunday morning NYC traffic nightmare. Jerry's got more from the Mets' 11th straight loss following a Devin Williams blown save, featuring Francisco Lindor defending Carlos Mendoza while bracing for home-crowd boos. Ben Rice homers again in a Yankees sweep of the Royals, the Dodgers stumble against the Rockies, and the Sabres snap a 15-year playoff drought. After revisiting a bizarre chess cheating scandal for the "Moment of the Day," we close with rumors of AJ Brown heading to the Patriots.

We talked about Troy Aikman's signature looking nothing like ‘Troy' or ‘Aikman', since at Boomer's charity event, there was an autographed Aikman jersey. Al Dukes donated that night but his name didn't go up on the big screen so he didn't think he got credit. Sad.

Sam and Dylan are back to break down: Comment of the Week chaos and early show banter going completely off the rails with a spirited pegging discussion. Then they get into the main rabbit hole early with missing scientists tied to UFO and plasma research, a pattern of high-level experts disappearing, and whether there's a coordinated effort to suppress certain discoveries, plus sentient plasma theory, "ghost moons," and whether what we're calling UFOs might actually be energy-based life or some form of consciousness we don't understand. Then it's Geopolitical Corner with JD Vance making an ass out of himself, is the EU evil or not, China "cucking" the U.S., and Trump vs the Pope. After that it moves into Sports Corner: Is Dianna Russini piping down DILF-ass Vrabel?, "is Troy Aikman gay?", the UFC getting too political, and whether everything from sports to entertainment is getting pulled into narratives whether fans like it or not. They wrap it up with late-show chaos circling back into media and culture with Will Smith's annoying ass wife Jada Pinkett Smith, Lena Dunham's r-word story about Adam Driver, and Putin's hot ass daughter.

I told one small lie… and somehow ended up orchestrating three full blown ambushes across the city of Dallas. What started as a simple girls trip turned into wigs, disguises, fake Instacart drivers, a sign spinning maniac outside a restaurant, and an Uber driver blasting mariachi music while swerving to the beat. I had to keep everyone separated, stagger flights from the same city, invent a connection to Troy Aikman, and pray nobody compared notes. It was chaos. The fun kind. Bret's here too…  This one is messy, loud, and very on brand for what happens when women who've known each other for decades refuse to act their age.
