Eli Manning hitting Victor Cruz for a Giants’ first down is a familiar proceeding in Giants land, but so is Troy Aikman’s effusive praise of Cruz as the NFL’s best slot receiver. Both of these moments came together on Sunday when a Manning-to-Cruz third down conversion was broken down in slow motion by Aikman – except the replay revealed one extra and crucial nugget of information about Eli in particular.

At about 9:30 A.M. Monday, police responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of McMillen High School. It was there where they found Rhonda Aikman, 43, in the driver’s seat with the engine turned off. More details, after the jump.

Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterback and current Fox broadcaster Troy Aikman was recently spotted by TMZ outside an LA restaurant with former Cowboys cheerleader Abigail Klein (he also appeared to be roughly 5 seconds away from kicking the ass of whoever was filming him in the video TMZ has up).

Because they want to make everyone feel bad about themselves, Sports Illustrated has conducted a poll of NFL players in which they’re asked to name their least favorite commentators. I find Cris Collinsworth to be pretty good at what he does. Apparently, pro football players don’t share that sentiment.

Once upon a time, in a book about the Dallas Cowboys, Skip Bayless mentioned rumors that Troy Aikman might be gay. Years later, Bayless stood by including those rumors in his book. And now a couple years after that, Aikman’s talking about those rumors. And if you can believe it, he’s less than thrilled.

Tony Romo had a bit of trouble during a star-studded beach football game, and had to be replaced at quarterback by the head coach of a rival NFC team.

The question is – what team might take the bait and bring Tiki Barber aboard? Most bloggers say their teams should stay away…except for one.
