Football season is !!! Brand New Full Size Authentic Autographed Nike 1500 Football by... 2006 Hall Of Fame inductee (on the first vote) Troy Aikman (Dallas Cowboys 1989-2000) Quarterback Troy Aikman finished his collegiate career as the third rated passer in NCAA history. An All-America at UCLA, Aikman joined the Dallas Cowboys as the first overall pick in the 1989 NFL Draft. He became the first Dallas rookie quarterback to start a season opener since Roger Staubach in 1969. Although he showed great promise and threw for a rookie-record 379 yards in a game against the Phoenix Cardinals, the team finished 1-15. As the young quarterback improved, however, so too did the Cowboys' record. In 1990, Aikman completed 226 of 399 passes for 2,579 yards and 11 touchdowns - the team finished 7-9. The following year he completed an NFC-best 65.3 percent of his passes, and the Cowboys improved to 11-5 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. In 1992, in just his 52nd game, Aikman reached the 10,000-yard passing mark, and his 302 completions were second most in team history. That season also marked the end of Dallas' odyssey from worst to first. With their high-powered offense and stingy defense, the 13-3 Cowboys swept through the 1992 NFL playoffs, scoring a combined total of 116 points in three games including a 52-17 victory over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVII. Aikman's 22 of 30 for 273 yards passing and four touchdowns earned him Super Bowl MVP honors. Over the next three seasons, the Cowboys enjoyed three consecutive 12-4 records and victories in Super Bowls XXVIII and XXX. Aikman, wide receiver Michael Irvin, and running back Emmitt Smith delivered an offensive attack that opponents found nearly impossible to contain. When defenses focused on Irvin and/or Smith, Aikman would find tight end Jay Novacek or wide receiver Alvin Harper. In the 1994 NFC Divisional Playoff Game against the Green Bay Packers, Aikman completed 23 of 30 passes for 337 yards. Irvin, Novacek, and Harper, each had more than 100 yards receiving. Aikman's 94-yard touchdown pass to Harper was the longest play from scrimmage in NFL post-season history at the time. With 90 wins in the 1990s, Aikman became the winningest starting quarterback of any decade in NFL history. Unfortunately, during his final two seasons, injuries began to take a toll on the Dallas quarterback and the team's winning ways. Finally, after the 2000 season, the Cowboys' six-time Pro Bowl selection announced his retirement from football. His career statistics include 32,942 yards and 165 touchdowns for a passer rating of 81.6. About this autograph: I was in Seattle, WA on June 23, 2007 attending The National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB) national convention. Troy has a relationship with a company called Interbay Funding. Interbay put on a meet and greet cocktail party in conjunction with the convention on the second floor of the Seattle Sheraton. Nike Town has a store right across the street (thank God), so I went over and purchased the closest thing I could find to an "official" football, ran back to the Sheraton Hotel and got Troy Aikman's 100% authentic autograph. I attend these conventions a couple times per year. Just my luck, I didn't get a photo for this autograph. The picture of Troy Aikman and I is from the 2006 NAMB convention in Philadelphia, PA w I also met Troy at a similar function with Interbay, the football I'm holding in the picture is a small one, not the one up for auction. (I have met Troy 4 times in all). I have my VIP pass to get into the signing, more powerful proof of the authenticity of the autograph! I will send the pass to the winning bidder as proof of authenticity. If more proof of authenticity would be required I could get it, as several friends were in attendance and could and would vouch for the authenticity of Troy Aikman's autograph in writing. Even the people who worked at Nike Town would remember, as t was quite a " RUSH " on... read more
