Death, taxes, and Dallas Cowboys winding up as NFL analysts on television.
It is well-known that it pays in a player’s post-football life to have suited up for America’s Team as is evidenced by the fact that former Cowboys occupy the top color analyst jobs for two of the top networks that NFL games are played on.
Of course it is not easy to do what Troy Aikman and Tony Romo do, a lesson that Jason Witten had to learn the hard way under the bright lights of Monday Night Football. There is a certain charisma necessary to oversee an NFL game with the country watching and it just so happens that Cowboys players are given those opportunities more than others.
