8/5/06...Troy Aikman inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

"In many ways, Troy's performance that day was typical of his career," said Ernie Zampese, then the Cowboys' offensive coordinator and now retired in San Diego. "Troy could have had 300 yards in that game if we threw the ball more but he could not have played any better. Troy would have a lot more yards in his career, but that would not have been best for the football team. Troy was all about the team."
When the game was over, Favre's coach, a former quarterback himself and a renowned student of the position, did something he had never done. Nor has he considered doing it since. He summoned security guards and asked them to escort him to the opposing locker room.
Mike Holmgren recalls that he simply had to congratulate Aikman after bearing witness to his masterful performance.
"I had to go shake that kid's hand," said Holmgren, now coach of the Seattle Seahawks. "I know I caught him off guard. I think I said, 'You are an amazing player.' Then I shook his hand and left. There was nothing else to be said."
