Troy Aikman Laid Waste To Cooper Kupp’s Dad By Failing To Recognize His Existence Even Though Kupp Was His Backup Up On The Cowboys

“The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. If you hate someone, you still care.”

Teammates of Tom Brady claim the six-time Super Bowl champion makes a point to get to know not just everyone on the team, but on the practice squad as well.

Troy Aikman’s approach was a bit different, as revealed on last night’s broadcast of Thursday Night Football.

During the second quarter of the Seahawks 30-29 win over the Rams, Aikman revealed that Cooper Kupp’s father was his backup for a bit during the 1991 season.

Suffice it to say, Aikman treated him like an Adobe Flash update by ignoring him until he went away and out of his life forever. Aikman’s indifference to Craig Kupp was so profound, he wiped his existence from his memory. Kupp must’ve been a real hoot in QB meetings.

“Ya know Cooper Kupp’s dad was my backup at one point for the Cowboys back in 1991, Craig Kupp. I’d forgotten all about that. And Sam Farmer with the LA Times [publicized it], I didn’t even know that Craig was Cooper’s dad. He was there for, I don’t know, maybe two cups of coffee, it wasn’t very long.”

“But, Craig, I miss you my man. Hope you’re well!”

“Craig I miss you my man.” NO YOU DON’T TROY FAKEMAN! You can’t miss someone you never recognize existed. By that logic, “I miss you Sasquatch!”

I will never forget Lena Jacobson genuinely asking me in eighth grade if my mom drank while I was in the womb. I carry that memory with me in the shower more often than I’d like to admit. Before today, I thought this was the most demeaning insult anyone could deliver another human being.

Thank you for helping me realize it could always be worse, Troy.
