Troy Aikman has a few things in common with Jerry Jones. One, is the Dallas Cowboys, the franchise Jones owns and Aikman played for that produced three Super Bowl wins in four seasons.

During Troy Aikman's weekly interview Thursday with The Musers on The Ticket, SportsRadio 1310 AM and 96.7 FM, the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback and Fox analyst was asked about the Cowboys' offseason. Will anyone at Valley Ranch approach the next few months as if Dallas was actually a 4-12 team and not a playoff contender that had some bad luck?

"When I look at the Cowboys, and I obviously have a history with this organization for 20-plus years, once Jimmy [Johnson] left the building, and I think the years with [Bill] Parcells were obviously different, I think there's a tendency from the owner to not hold players accountable often enough," Aikman said. "I've never quite understood that."

Aikman and Jones have the experience of running a business in common. Aikman and Roger Staubach were among the owners of Hall of Fame Racing, a NASCAR franchise from 2006-2009. But they don't share a similar approach to their workers, it appears.

"When you're paying someone millions of dollars to do a job, I don't understand why then as the employer that you make excuses for doing what his team paid him a lot of money to do." Aikman said. "I've grown business, I've had employees, I understand what that's about. I can assure you that if I'm paying somebody money, they're going to do the job they're paid to do or they're not going to be around very long. I think that's been an ongoing problem at Valley Ranch."
