Aikman on WFAN in NY

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Maybe Aikman's coming to the realization that a Super Bowl for Romo might push Troy to No. 3 on the all-time Cowboys quarterback list.

Nah Troy will always be top.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

No it won't. Troy is locked in at #2 with 3 Super Bowls. Roger is locked in at #1 forever.

I have it the other way

<ducking>

I generally defend Troy from the morons on here who think he hates the Cowboys, but that is a pretty darn irresponsible comment. First, what does "likely" mean? 90 percent chance? 51 percent chance? Second, Troy-- there were over eight minutes left. You played football to know that is an eternity. Third, it's not like Detroit was running the ball down our throat in the second half.

But Christ, it's Thursday already. MOVE ON!

I get what he was saying. I was thinking if they score there then we are down by 10.

But you know what.

We won. Call or no call (literally lol)

Move the ***** on.... We are on a mission here people!

 

[mahoneybill]

Concussion...

Correct. He even admitted not seeing a wide open Alvin Harper on an early series in the game.

 

[mahoneybill]

I always hear people say he is only trying not to be biased, well I call that BS! I dont know why he has to go to ridiculous lengths so he doesnt come off as a homer!! I mean everyone will always know he was a Cowboy QB. not too mention he is wrong in his statement, noone knows what wouldve happened had that call stood.....and i mean noone.

Irvin is unashamed to cheer for the Cowboys, but also he will admit they stunk, or didn't have it. That's all I would appreciate from Troy. He's at times too Politically Correct , instead of being " Cowboy Proud"... You have the rings because of them, so show some support....

If you go on Expected Win % from the computers, IIRC...it was greater than 50% for the Lions if they got the first down. So technically Aikman is correct

They must be using a Windows Pc, you know the ones that never run right and always crash. My Mac says we had a 99.999% chance to win that game even if that flag is not picked up.

 

[Fmart322]

That's ok. Were all entitled to our opinions. It's a great problem to have really.

I have it the other way

<ducking>

Aikman can be a jerk when commenting on the team, he's been know to go out of his way to be intentionally hard on the Boyz. I'm definitely not a big fan of him doing our games. Great QB, loved him as a Cowboy but not big on him doing our games.

 

[Idgit]

What was the actual quote by Troy? Did I miss that somewhere?

I kind of like it when he dogs his team. I hope they are listening to what he says. He has been there, done that...

Go Cowboys

I put apple polishers in the same category as Romo haters. would not hire them to run an elevator for me.

 

[Fredd]

I took Aikman's comment as perhaps Detroit should have gone for it on 4th and 1 before the "shank"....

 

[SDCowboy]

And yet another thread has turned into a Romo vs Aikman thread. This one even faster than I would have expected.

 

[tyke1doe]

his trying to be not-bias and swing too far the other way gets very annoying

irvin and emmitt dont have that problem.

Of course, that's why Emmitt and Irvin aren't the No. 1 announcing team like Troy and Buck. Just saying.

 

[tyke1doe]

Aikman's better than Romo the same way Eli's better than Romo.

Football's the ultimate team sport. When your only argument is Super Bowl rings, you have no argument.

Aikman was deadly accurate.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Its likely Dallas loses the Lions game if the right call was made.

If the whole game had been called right...........

Not to mention, the game wasn't decided on that one play.

 

[tyke1doe]

He's a professional. A professional isn't supposed to act like a fan. Fans aren't getting the job Aikman has.

 

[JDSmith]

For anyone who wants to hear exactly what Troy said, it's on the Mike Francesa show and can be heard here:

[Sportsbabe]

Troy has to play the "I'm not biased" role on national shows. He knows better than to say one call and the result of the game changes. Assanine.

Part about our practices reminding JG of SB teams is kinda cool. Let's hope....

Like Parcells said, if part wrong all wrong. I'm not feeling Troy, 3 SB or not. He goes out of his way to compliment our opponent every chance he gets and will avoid opportunities to compliment the very team he won 3 SB with.

not quite. he goes too far the other way and fans the 31 other teams.
