Let’s talk Troy Aikman

[noshame]

OI thought he was very diplomatic in explaining why Dak sucks.

 

[Star Guard_31]

He seems off on the broadcast. I cant put my finger on it but something about the way he delivers his points etc. He just seems off

I suspect he might have been hungover. At one point even Joe Buck jokingly said "what's going on with you tonight Troy?" to which Troy responded "oh you know, it's been that kinda week".

They panned to Jimmy Johnson and Michael Irvin during the game. I find it hard they wouldn't meet up if they were all in town. I'm betting they got together and reminisced over a few too many Eight Elite Lagers.

Aikman was calling the game like he saw it.

The first half was like a snooze fest to me.

I fell asleep at halftime and woke up when Gilmore made the INT.

Troy seems to be bias against being biased, only he hasn't found the right scale.

 

[nate dizzle]

Aikman was being honest about a lot of the plays yesterday. He kept showing how receivers were open, yet weren't given the ball. He sounds like he's frustrated with Dak. LOL

Yep, the 5%ers are gonna come for his head now.

Outstanding!!!!

Translation: Troy didn’t gush enough over the Cowboys during the broadcast.

I agree lmao

Haha I remember that, before he was commentating then just stopped. “I… i don’t know.”

Every time aikman announces for one of our games, I laugh uncontrollably.

The man hates Dallas so much, yet he was our guy in the 90’s.

I mean seriously, every time Dallas got a first down or made a good play I would hear, “that was nice, but…” or “and you see here, I mean it was a great throw but the timing was awful”

Kind of a laughing stock if you ask me. Stephen A Smith likes us more than Aikman! I understand him being less than happy about how it all ended with Johnson, and their downfall etc, but come on.

What do you think his issue is?

I don't think he hates Dallas, but I do think he can be pretty harsh toward the team, probably because he doesn't like what his team has done since his championship days.

 

[SuspectCorner]

Yea Troy is cool he just sounds like football. If you guys go pull up pat summerall highlights you’ll shed a tear. Cherish these guys

I grew up on Pat Summerall/Tom Brookshier - then, in my thirties, Pat Summerall/John Madden, CBS NFL booth teams from Hell. Nobody else EVER said ‘Touchdown Dallas’ with the gravity of Pat Summerall. Goosebumps, ladies and gentlemen… pure goosebumps.

 

[Redsfan_83]

So many on this board take offense to any of us who are critical/obejective about this team. Same goes for announcers, who are either anit Cowboys/pro Cowboys, there is rarely anybody in between

 

[tomokawan]

He damn sure is not objective about the Eagles. He loves them.

 

[Rayman70]

He damn sure is not objective about the Eagles. He loves them.

I agree. He praises them and ignores the bad.

 

[Rayman70]

Try just seems to have animosity. I get it. But heck, at least try 2 hide it when calling games.

Maybe he doesn't want to sound like a homer.

Stephen A is one of the Cowboys biggest trolls.

Troy is just a perfectionist and a critic. And his unbiased view with the Cowboys is why he so respected around the league in the broadcast booth.

 

[Diehardblues]

Right.., he’d have no respectability around the league broadcasting if he was a Cowboys homer in the booth .

 

[Runwildboys]

Feel like sometimes he is overzealous about making it a point to not be that guy

That, I think is possible. Sometimes it seems like he's overcompensating, but only occasionally. Most of the time I think he's just calling it the way he sees it.
