The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants have always had quite the rivalry. However, it has lost its appeal in recent years due to the struggles of both teams. Former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman turned the heat up though ahead of their Week 5 matchup. Via PFT:

“The Giants aren't even in Dallas's class.”

Giants coach Joe Judge then tossed aside the notion that Aikman gave them bulletin board material for Sunday's game:

“We don’t even have a bulletin board in there, to be honest with you,” Judge said, via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. “Everything’s screens and magnets and stuff now. We’re in the future now. We don’t have bulletin boards anymore.”

The Cowboys legend definitely irked New York with his remarks, there's no doubt about it. But Judge insisted that it doesn't mean anything to his team:

“I don’t think we really need any external motivation to show up and do our jobs, to be honest with you.”

The Cowboys and Giants do not like each other. There is absolutely no doubt that Aikman's bold take got under the skin, even though Judge won't admit it. Dallas is currently 3-1, while NY is 1-3. They're clearly on opposite ends of the spectrum, but nevertheless, it's should be an entertaining one. If the Cowboys come out on top, you better believe Aikman's comments will be discussed again.
