Troy Aikman - English
Troy Aikman, once known for throwing touchdowns under bright stadium lights, is now turning his attention to something else Americans consume regularly-beer.
The Hall of Fame quarterback has launched a bold campaign through his light beer brand, EIGHT, calling out hidden sugars and additives in mainstream beers that market themselves as “light.”
Aikman took to Instagram to share a powerful message. In a short video, viewers watched beer being poured as a voiceover warned: “Sugars in our diet are making Americans unhealthy-and big light beers are still brewed with exactly that: unnecessary additives like corn syrup and rice.”

His message was clear: many so-called light beers may not be as clean as advertised.
That warning carried over to Twitter, where Aikman posted a photo of his own product along with praise for a Wall Street Journal article highlighting EIGHT’s growth. He wrote: “EIGHT’s leading the way-additive-free: no corn, no rice, no sweeteners. Just clean, crisp beer the way it should be.”
His goal goes beyond just selling a product. Aikman is challenging the broader industry to be more transparent, at a time when many consumers are prioritizing health and clean ingredients in what they eat and drink.
Aikman’s fight over the number “8” grows beyond the bottle
Launched in 2022 and named after his iconic Cowboys jersey number, EIGHT quickly found a niche among health-conscious drinkers. With only 90 calories, 2.6 grams of carbs, and no artificial sweeteners or fillers, it presents itself as a premium option in the crowded $882 billion global beer market.
But as EIGHT gains traction, Aikman has found himself facing legal opposition from another athlete with ties to the number 8-Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson has filed multiple trademarks, including “Era 8” and “You 8 Yet?”, which he says predate Aikman’s claims.
Aikman’s attempt to register “EIGHT” as a trademark-especially for apparel-has sparked a legal back-and-forth between the two camps.
Despite the tension, Aikman took a lighthearted approach on social media, joking that they could settle the dispute over a couple of EIGHT beers, with fellow number 8 Steve Young acting as referee. Yet behind the humor, the legal filings are serious and ongoing, with Aikman’s attorneys recently requesting that Jackson’s team submit key documents.
At its core, Aikman’s campaign is about more than beer or branding-it’s about shifting how people view health in everyday products. Whether in a courtroom or a bar, he’s staying committed to his message: no gimmicks, no additives-just clean beer for modern drinkers.

Top NFL player prop expert’s best bets for Week 5 include backing Drake Maye
At his weekly press conference on Wednesday, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was asked about the origin of his friendship with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, whom he will battle in this week's Sunday Night Football game in upstate New York.Maye explained the two quarterbacks share the same agency, Creative Artists Agency. He then continued, "We share a lot of the same things. We like playing golf. He's very down-to-earth. I like to say I'm down-to-earth."But Maye didn't mention arguably the most important thing that the two have in common right now: they're both playing winning football.

Spurs break their curse with win at Leeds thanks to two deflected strikes
Tottenham ended their international break curse with a 2-1 win at Leeds to go within a point of Premier League leaders Liverpool thanks to deflected strikes from Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus.Spurs had lost their last seven matches immediately before each mid-season pause since a 1-0 win at Luton on October 7, 2023 nearly two years ago to the day, but luck was on their side at Leeds, whose unbeaten run at home in the league ends after more than a year. Both of Spurs' goals went in against the run of play after taking a deflection off Leeds defender Pascal Struijk. The impressive Noah Okafor tapped in a deserved first-half equaliser for the hosts after Tel's opener but Kudus sealed the win with his first goal for Spurs.

The rejuvenation of George Springer: How Blue Jays veteran got conviction back as he swings for another title
TORONTO — George Springer steps to the plate in the final game of the regular season at the Rogers Centre. Right foot first, then left. He taps the plate with the tip of his bat. Takes a deep breath.Springer feels it again. It swells from within. It sits on his shoulders. Runs through his hands. It's not a sensation, but the absence of one. A tangible calm. For a time, he thought he lost it. Age, the relentless failure of baseball, his own inner dialogue, they conspired to rob him of perhaps his greatest strength. But as he digs his cleats into the dirt and stares at the mound, he believes it's back.Conviction. "I essentially got away from me being who I was," Springer said, "and what kind of made me successful."It's always been his secret sauce. The permission for his […]
