Troy Aikman being Giddy about the Cowboys

[ConstantReboot]

In the past I usually cannot stand him being the announcer of Cowboy games. He would gush over the other teams players and never say much about the Cowboys. Not that he was wrong. But he just didn't sound authentic and honest and seems to try too hard to be impartial to make himself look professional.

Not this past Sunday. Troy seemed to be gushing with giddiness over this new Cowboys team. He sounded authentic and real and finally showed that he's a true Cowboy at heart. I think he feels good about this team and their chances to make it deep into the playoffs. He didn't hold anything back when he referred to the Cowboys performance as a "domination." If we didn't mess up on special teams this game wouldn't even be close he said. I think it surprised the network and they had to follow what Troy was saying and everyone had to agree with him.

Best part was when Romo and TWill converted on that 3rd and 20 play. He simple stated " Seattle's defense doesn't just let teams convert 3rd and 20 just like that."

I think Troy being giddy about this team says a lot.

I definitely noticed a bit of a difference. Alot of calls against the cowboys he wasn't agreeing with either

I think Troy calls it like he sees it. I expect no less. He's a pro.

I admit to being a bit giddy myself.

Does anyone remember how Aikman felt about the Cowboys during that 12-1 start in the 2007 season? How did it compare to now?

This is an honest question; I don't recall.

Troy is the man. He's always been the man. Anybody saying otherwise is asking for a virtual fat-lip as far as I'm concerned.

It's perfectly ok to hate on Joe Buck, though. And it is nice to be giving Troy something to brag about in Dallas.

I think he's like most realist Cowboy fans they're behind the team but they're not blind to their problems. Show them some substance it'll give them something to be excited about. Another thing, kind of goes to something Darren Woodson said some time back (and I think some of us have noticed him being on the upper end of critical too) he said during his last years playing guys would come up to him and wonder why he was in a bad mood all the time and it was just because he knew the team didn't have it. Watching the Cowboys for Troy possibly was frustrating and made him kind of salty lol I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys have a successful year guys like Troy and Moose Johnston, and Darren Woodson start sounding like Michael Irvin when they're speaking about the team (ok maybe not that much).

Why must they pair him with that tool?

To contrast professionalism with........its opposite.

Hard to blame him, going from three SBs in four years to 5-11. Nobody could like that.

Yeah, Troy has to try to be impartial for his job. Better to alienate 1 fan base rather than 31 other one's. Actually, alienate isn't the correct word, but he can't just say what he wants to on the air.

However, I did notice how happy he sounded during the Seahawk game. He just couldn't help himself and he was able to let go a little and say what he wanted because the Cowboys were earning the praise.

It was a huge win for the franchise, and Troy knew the implications of what it would do for the team.

Oh I hate Joe Buck with a passion. Every time I hear his name it reminds me of that nasty 4 letter word.

 

[SAboys889]

I'd rather have Irvin call games

 

[SoCalCowboyFan]

I loved Troy as a player and I think he does a fair job as an analyst. My favorite is Moose though. I also love this time of year. Baseball playoffs/World Series means less of Joe Buck. Can't stand that tool.

I don't think he was that giddy in any point in time compared to the Seattle game. I never heard Troy refer to the Cowboys dominating any team, even the weaker ones.

Seriously! Not a baseball fan but I love when their playoffs come because I know I'll get a break from having to listen to Joe Buck!

I can't stand Buck either. Snarky as hell... particularly about the Cowboys.

Nobody likes a smart***!

It's opposite would be "bull crap" ... to put it nicely.

... and every time I see his face I think of Niles from Frazier. He needs somebody to break him off. Maybe that'll help.
