Aikman's Hatred for the Cowboys...shyaa!!

[Doomsday]

We think that Troy is jealous of the success that Tony Romo is having and just seems to bash the boys everytime he broadcasts the game.

You need to listen with you ears open, Troy has been nothing but complimentary of Romo.

 

[rcaldw]

Can you tell me why a 3 time Super Bowl Champion, a Super Bowl MVP, a Hall of Famer, a multi-millionaire, the #1 analyst for Fox, and a guy who says that players today ARE BETTER than in his day, would ever be thought to be jealous by you or anyone? It doesn't make sense does it? Do you know why it doesn't make sense? Because it isn't true. Good golly, have some sense.

If you don't like Troy, just listen to Newt, Michael and Emmitt. They still refer to the Cowboys as "we", and are an unabated joy to hear talk Dallas Cowboys football.

I don't care whether Troy is or isn't a haytur, or whatever. But if you don't like him, just turn him off. No need to subject yourself to what is clearly a horrendous experience (judging by the trauma it seems to cause) when the mute button is right there, gleaming, saying "Push me, Big Fella...I'm up for it if you are..."

Babies cry when a needed, sharp word is spoken to them. Babies shouldn't watch Aikman's broadcasts.

 

[NickZepp]

I think Troy tries way too hard to be biased against Dallas when they are playing. He doesn't want to seem like he's biased toward anyone so he says rediculus stuff agianst the Cowboys that he probably doesn't really mean.

 

[Zaxor]

Whether Troy Aikman is a hater or homer, is beside the point in my mind. In my opinion, he and Joe Buck are an unwatchable duo. Aikman makes very few "technical" football points and I sometimes wonder if he and Joe are paying attention to the action.

There was one play where TO was clearly interfered with and he got up complaining. The replay was shown (which was a miracle in and of itself) and it seemed to clearly confirm Springs had interfered with him before the ball arrived. What did Buck and Troy have to say about the replay after noting that TO was complaining about PI? Nothing. Were they not paying attention or did they not wish to comment? I think as the color guy, he was obligated to give his opinion there, but this falls in line with most of the games they do. I think the production quality is absolute garbage. The fact that they don't give the starting lineup is utterly ridiculous, and in my mind, kind of unfair to non-skill position players. The o-linemen rarely get their names called unless they have a penalty or get hurt, so I think showing their face on TV is the least they can do.

I'm sorry to say I usually mute them. Joe Buck's voice gives me the dry heaves and Aikman isn't a ton better. I don't care whether he likes the Cowboys or not or that he QB'ed us to three SB's, I think he sucks as an announcer and that he and Buck are one of the worst duos on TV.

You and me both...

When he said his favorite player was Clinton Portis, he was dead serious. Everyone at the party yelled "WHAT?" He likes to brag on other teams when they make a few great plays while dissing the Cowboys and there's no reason to do that.

i yelled what also!! i guess he is off the McNabb bandwagon now?? seriously i cant stand Aikman in the box, all he ever does, is state the obvious and try to come off as we the fans dont know crap about football. i would much rather listen to the Moose and the Goose also.

Yeah, he'll probably have a different favorite player next week. Of course it won't be a Cowboy.

You're going to :cry: aren't you?

 

[The Great Number 8]

I love being 9-1. It means we have to fight about what Troy Aikman thinks about the current Cowboys as opposed to whether Quincy or Hutch or Henson is ever going to make it and who would be dumb enough to give us a first round pick for Dexter Coakley.

Thank God for Parcells and/or Jones and/or Phillips and/or Garrett and/or{insert whoever you want to credit for this team} for finally getting this thing turned around.

 

[gbrittain]

If Jerry Jones himself had to fill in for Brad Sham for a Cowboys game, you would have the same knuckleheads swearing Jones hates Dallas.

Jerry said that he really likes that Laron Landry guy. Jerry said Dallas is pass defense is a little suspect at time. Jerry said Jason Campbell just made an excellent throw. Whine, whine, and whine.

why didn't you say this to cowboy chris? I was just agreeing with his post.

I sure do call myself a Cowboys fan. Since I don't particularly like that tactic I won't ask you the same question.

I've said it to several in the thread.

Read Aikman's actual comments on Page 1. Or see the link to them in the Daily Zone. He doesn't hate the Cowboys.

He has a job to do and does it well. Your interpretation of the job he does is wrong. It's just that simple.

thats YOUR opinion. Yours is not the only one that matters, no more than mine is. Alot of people agree with me, for example 20 or so at a game party heard his comments all during the game and were disgusted with his negative remarks against us, and positives for the Commanders. Very few times did he say anything positive about us. He needs to go back to selling cars and not commentating games. I'll say it again, I'm an Aikman fan, my room is full of his memorabilia which I'm proud of. He just needs to stop making us look like fools in the media.

Too lazy to hit the link? Okay.

Per Troy Aikman, himself, not some lame opinion of his motives...

• To me, Dallas is one of those teams that no matter the situation in the game, I just feel like they are going to do it. I feel like Tony is going to make a play or TO will make a catch and they will come back.
• For people that didn't watch the New England game closely and look at the final score and say that got blown out, I disagree with them. That was a seven point game going into the fourth quarter and could have been a different game completely had Dallas gotten a couple of breaks. I still say if Dallas played New England 10 times, they may not win 5 but they would win 3 or 4; I really do. Dallas is better than Indy, San Diego and more complete than Pittsburgh as well.
• If Dallas makes it to the SB, no matter who the AFC team is, this is not going to be an automatic win for them. Dallas is that good.
• The best team I played on was the 1992 team. How would that team stack up against these Patriots? Good question. Mercury Morris said the 1972 Dolphins would steam-roll these guys. I try to be a little more objective. If you took the top five teams in '92 or even ten, I think those teams would be better than the best five or ten from this year. I think there is a lot of parity. I think New England, Indy and even this Dallas team could compete against us. I'm not saying they would win but they would compete. They big advantage we had was depth. These teams don't have as much. We would lose one player to injury and his back-up would be a Pro Bowler next year.

Pure hate right?

Wow, I've never heard Troy talk that much about the Cowboys! The truth is that, because Fox covers the NFC, & Dallas is by far the most popular team in the conference, Troy is stuck doing a lot of Cowboys games, since he & Buck are the #1 team for Fox.

Troy does his best not to talk about himself or the teams he played on. He wants to talk about what is going on in the field right now. He also works hard at balancing his remarks about the 'Boys and whoever they're playing. I admit, when he kept on with the kudos on Campbell, I said, "Shutup, Troy. Why don't you talk about Tony for a minute." But, you know, at the time, the 'Skins offense was on the field, & a young, up & coming QB was playing very well against the best team in the NFC.

We have to realize that we're not listening to a local Dallas radio or TV station. We're watching a nationally played game between two teams. The fact that Aikman played for one of them should play no part in his comments, and he works hard at being objective. Man, I can't believe how well he deflects attention away from himself whenever Buck makes a reference to his playing days. I know I would have a hard time not patting myself on the back if I had accomplished what he has.

By the way, for the person who had to audacity to refer to Aikman as a "has-been", you don't know what the heck you're talking about. This man is a class act all the way, no matter who he played for. Everything he does, he strives to do it with style & greatness. He articulates a game better than most I've heard.
I would much rather listen to someone who gives the other guy his due, than to someone like Michael Irvin go on about how great he was.

You are the only one doing that to yourself.

You are the only one doing that to yourself.

you said, "Troy Aikman has the right to say anything he wants about the Cowboys as long as he does it in a respectful and professional manner."

should say "Troy Aikman has the right to say anything negative he wants about the Cowboys as long as he bashes us, consistently, every week, in a respectful and professional manner".

Alot of fans from other forums, people I work with, friends, their friends, all are equally upset with his weekly remarks. It ain't just me.

They are Troy Aikman's own words. Direct from his mouth. I don't care how many people agree with you that he hates the Cowboys. You are all wrong. Every single one of you.

Of course it ain't just you. This forum is proof positive that there are a bunch of sensitive whiny babies. I have no doubt that you have your legion of supporters in this agenda that you have.

The bottom line is Aikman points out the good and bad, but the reality is the homers go crazy when Troy their former hero has anything negative to say about the Cowboys and something positive to say about the opposition.

Proof positive are all of the Troy haters refusal to acknowledge THE BOLD RED PRINT that Hos posted earlier. The problem is all the "love" Troy showed for the Cowboys does not fit your agenda that Troy is a hater.

Mind boggling really.
