It’s the post on X (formerly Twitter) that continues to age badly for Troy Aikman.
Back in 2019, the Pro Football Hall of Famer and ESPN analyst posted a response to a tweet about how Patrick Mahomes has thrown so many touchdown passes in fewer games than Aikman. It’s worth noting that Mahomes plays in a very different era than Aikman did, but Aikman got feisty about it.
“Talk to me when when [sic] he has 33% of my Super Bowl Titles,” he remarked. And since then, the post has come up again and again.
It did on Sunday. Because Mahomes now has 100 percent of Aikman’s Super Bowl titles with three each:
