The\u00a0Monday Night Football commentator is more prominent than ever &#8212; and not just in the football space. The former <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/tag\/nfl-quarterback\/\">NFL quarterback<\/a>&#8216;s investments and businesses, with a particular focus on Texas, will make him far more money than he ever made playing for the league's <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/troy-aikman-calls-out-nfl-owners-agrees-tom-brady-concerning-league-future-bad-football\/\">notoriously stingy owners<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His latest move is another Texas-based business. This time, the former Dallas Cowboys star is taking on the beverage industry, a niche he has a surprising amount of experience with before becoming an owner himself. And he already set a notable local record during his short time with his new low-calorie beer company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-troy-aikman-keeps-on-giving-to-the-state-of-texas\">Troy Aikman keeps on giving to the state of Texas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Football fans used to think of Aikman primarily for his feats with the Dallas Cowboys. Namely, his <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/how-many-super-bowls-did-troy-aikman-win-with-the-dallas-cowboys\/\">three Super Bowl wins<\/a>. But even before leaving the league for good, the quarterback started Troy Aikman Enterprises to smooth his transition to business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Troy Aikman Became One Of the NFL\u2019s Most Powerful People\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rja-EP0crv0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Through that entity, the football star worked with Texas businessmen, including Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, to make investments in real-estate, restaurants like Wingstop, and a car dealership. Selling cars ended up being a bust by Aikman's standards, so he disinvested from the Troy Aikman Automall in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As told in a wide-ranging interview on Joe Pompliano's <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rja-EP0crv0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a> channel, he also spent a lot of time working in and around the beverage industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I worked for a beer distributorship when I was in college. I then moved to Dallas when I was drafted, became really close friends with one of the top beer distributors in the country, Barry and Lana Andrews, his family. Did some stuff with that distributorship over the years. Then I've done some national campaigns. So I've kinda had this loose relationship with beer over the years,&#8221; Aikman told Pompliano, before slyly adding, &#8220;I like beer.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-troy-aikman-got-involved-with-eight-beer\">How Troy Aikman got involved with EIGHT beer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NFL, Cowboys legend Troy Aikman starting &#39;healthier&#39; beer brand, Eight <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zf5C3zYKdp\">https:\/\/t.co\/zf5C3zYKdp<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dD2XmZGlMY\">pic.twitter.com\/dD2XmZGlMY<\/a><\/p>&mdash; New York Post (@nypost) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nypost\/status\/1478464404710645760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 4, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The retired QB <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/troy-aikman-18-million-annual-espn-salary-more-97-active-nfl-players-make-year\/\">makes far more money<\/a> just in his ESPN role than most active NFL players will in a year.
