It's like saying that a retired Packer player from 5 years ago doesn't carry a chip on his shoulder when it comes to the Bears. The Packers have owned the Cowboys during that player's time in Green Bay.  The mere history of what happened between the two teams over the years can outweigh the time when he played against them. As an example, since Aikman hung up his cleats the Packers and Cowboys have played twice in the playoffs and the Packers beat them both times. That sticks in the craw of the Cowboys front office and team and carries over into Aikman since he's going to be a Dallas Cowboy until the day he dies. Just the mention of the "Ice Bowl" gets the dander up in ex-Cowboy players no matter in what era they played. Take my word on that one. I've seen it happen twice and, in both instances, the ex-Cowboy player hadn't even been born yet.</blockquote>
