WORLO Memory loss, not Super Bowl loss for Troy Aikman BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — Fans of the Dallas Cowboys will always remember how their team won its second consecutive shot at the Super Bowl.

"I don't remember playing in the game at all," he said Tuesday On "The Tonight Show." Aikman joked about not remembering people or telephone numbers either after the Jan. 23 game. He also admitted that for a while he thought the Super Bowl would be played in Henryetta, Okla., where he graduated high school.
