But there was Troy Aikman, sitting courtside in the expensive seats to watch the Mavs last week and getting booed as if his career had been filled with nothing but airballs. If you stay around one place long enough, it's going to happen.
Fans are unhappy with what's going on, and they boo.
Of course, today all those Cowboys fans who last week had been scouting out the locations of potential rocks to crawl under are deliriously happy again, and nobody is booing Aikman. Not after the way he took over the controls of the Dallas offense like Capt. Kirk on the bridge of the Enterprise and took it where no man had gone before. While winning those Super Bowls, Aikman always had been efficient but never spectacular. But what always has been missing is the spark of true genius that separates the masters from the rest of the pack.
