Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman. Hall of Fame quarterback has been in the hot seat this week as his comments from the Monday Night Football broadcast have been criticized. As the NFL continues to deal with player safety as well as defensive penalties, Aikman's comment came as an insult to females.

The three-time Super Bowl-winning made an appearance on 96.7 The Ticket on Thursday morning and was asked about his comments. He owned up to his remarks by calling them 'dumb' and saying that he shouldn't have made them to begin with: “My comments were dumb, just shouldn’t have made them. Just dumb remarks on my part.” He then continued by defending himself against other accusations. He said that people also felt that he was "anti-quarterback" for making the remarks: “What came from that, what I said was that it implied that I’m not in favor of protecting the quarterbacks, which could not be further from the truth. I’m totally in favor of the protection that the quarterbacks are afforded, and all players for that matter. But there’s no question there has been over-enforcement of the protection for quarterbacks.” Aikman will be back on the call this upcoming Monday night with Joe Buck as the Los Angeles Chargers host the Denver Broncos.

However, Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has continued to shoot down rumors that Dak Prescott won't return as the starting quarterback. NFL Injuries: Find out about ?
