Your kidding me right? Nor really you've got to be kidding me. I think this guy has a permanant concussion. One more hit to the head and i think this guy could get brain damage, especially the way players are hitting today. He is still only 36, so who knows what might happen. How does everyone see this playing out if he does return? Another injury?

If Parcells wants Aikman, Jones willing to listen

The talk of a Troy Aikman comeback has officially begun.
Whether or not Aikman will ever be back taking snaps for the Dallas Cowboys remains to be seen, but the Dallas Morning News reports Aikman himself and owner Jerry Jones are not ruling it out.
Aikman said if new coach Bill Parcells wanted him to come back, "it would be worth considering."
Jones, attending Senior Bowl preparations this week in Mobile, Ala., was quoted in the newspaper as saying, "I haven't talked to Troy. He and I get to talk from time to time. And if that's something we can talk about, we will."
Not convincing enough? Well, Jones went on. He said he and Parcells haven't discussed the idea yet, but that they will.
"When we see some of these veteran quarterbacks like they are having success with in Oakland (Rich Gannon), then we know Troy, with his skill level, could have a lot of success in the NFL," Jones said.
"I just have to really review that and look at it from the standpoint of what I feel about him personally, not only as a player, but personally. He's someone who has been as integral a part of the Cowboys' success over the last 12 or 13 years as anyone living. So it deserves that kind of a thought from me."
The Cowboys cut Aikman after the 2000 season -- and a slew of concussions -- prompting Aikman to retire from the league.
"If Bill Parcells were to come to my home and tell me how much he wanted me to play and how much I could help him and the team win ... I think it would be worth considering," Aikman told the Morning News.
"Don't know then that I would do it, but how could you not at least hear him out?"
