fan, while i'd normally wholeheartedly agree with you, i think Aikman's situation was pretty unique. like it's been stated, Aikman was already at the end of his career, and the 'injury' he received from Lavar was a mere concussion, a "playground" injury, hardly career threatening by itself. in Aikman's particular case it just happened to be the last one of the many he unavoidably received throughout his full length NFL career.

I doubt anyone on this board would be cheering if LaVar was Lawrence Taylor and Aikman was Joe Theismann, where a particularly destructive injury truly ended a career short.
