Answer the question LA

I'm not sure it would have taken much to end Aikman's career at that point. Don't get me wrong, I loved the hit but players have walked away from worse to play another day.

Aikman was battling concusion problems late in his career, a hard sneeze could have ended his career just the same.

LaVar just "blessed him" then

Heaping praise on one player for physically ending the carreer of another (even if he's a Cowboy) is not in my mind a fond revelation. We should all hate to see any player get hurt at any time for any team. Everytime I hear someone speak of the LaVar on Aikman hit with fondness, I'm reminded of Jack Tatum and the hit he put on Darryl Stingley that cripled him for life. I was hoping at that time I would never again see anything like it, and can never imagine hearing of it as if it's something good.

fan, while i'd normally wholeheartedly agree with you, i think Aikman's situation was pretty unique. like it's been stated, Aikman was already at the end of his career, and the 'injury' he received from Lavar was a mere concussion, a "playground" injury, hardly career threatening by itself. in Aikman's particular case it just happened to be the last one of the many he unavoidably received throughout his full length NFL career.

I doubt anyone on this board would be cheering if LaVar was Lawrence Taylor and Aikman was Joe Theismann, where a particularly destructive injury truly ended a career short.

"A play-ground injury" you're kidding me man!! Concussions have been the end of a lot of football carrers, and I'm sure those who experienced them would not consider them insignificant. To me, it matters less whether one is at the beginning or the end of one's carrer, injuries are not something we gloat about.

In the case of Joe Theisman and LT, no one felt worse about that injury than LT. He certainly didn't mean to break his leg, and I cannot recall a single instance where anyone spoke of it as though something good had been accomplished. Serious injury is something every player risk's while playing the game, there's no getting around that, however when they do occur we as fans IMO should not view them as an accomplishment even if that p[layer happens to be a member of the arch rival.

I think most redskins fans love it so much cause it was Aikman, Dallas's best QB. the guy that lead them to all those championships, and the head of "americas" team. It was only fitting that a skin take him out. fan I understand where ur comming from but everyone is intitled to their opinion even if it an unmoral way to think

Aikman had suffered a lot of concussions before LaVar's, and though they can get to be serious, as football injuries go, i'd say they are considered pretty minor. minor enough for Aikman to keep playing long after his first one anyway.

that's precisely how and why i brought that situation up. to contrast the very big differences between Theismann, Stingley and Aikman.

Yah, that darn unfocused three-time pro bowler.......let's hope we don't have to deal with him again.

When he buys into a scheme I'll buy into him as a player. He doesn't give a fuck about the team, he cares about LaVar and LaVar only. Until he proves otherwise that's what I'm going on. Let's use the pro-bowl as an example of playing prowess? I guess Springs, Griffen, Pierce, etc didn't deserve to be there. I mean, Trotter really did out-play Pierce last year.

The pro-bowl is a popularity contest. LaVar is a big name with a big smile. Everyone knows him and he's charismatic. While being an amazing athelete he's far from a great player. We've had this discussion a billion times before. I'll leave it at that.
