Thank god Troy isn't commentating on Sunday.

Exactly both are very good commentators and add Mike as a good analyst. And isnt Moose doing the game tomorrow. I absolutely love Moose as a commentator because like Troy he tells it like it is but still he shows his loyalty to the Cowboys but doesnt over do it and so it doesnt really make him look like a homer.

Exactly. Some guys can pull off being a homer better than others. Moose does it well. Irvin does not.

Aikman is completely unbiased. Sometimes i wish it was the other way around though. It'd be cool if Aikman was a bit of a homer, and Moose was the unbiased, straight up commentator. I guess it just bothers me that the ex-Skins little weenie of a field general is such a homer, while ours from the same era is not.

I agree with this. Aikman is unbiased...I want him to think well enough about his time as a Dallas Cowboy to be biased in favor of the Cowboys, and he is not. Therefore I do find him and Joe Buck to be "disturbing."

I like Moose the best.

I'd have to agree; he's excellent.

Since Mike doesn't do the games, isn't in the booth but in the studio, his homerism is acceptable.

Skins fans probably don't see it that way, but what distinguishes Mike's homeristic bombast from Theisman's is where they sit.

Anyone in the booth must strive for impartiality.

And therefore, I much prefer an Aikman to a Theisman.

I guess I'm just different. Theismann doesn't annoy me much. I guess I really don't care who says what.

You enjoy a commentator giving you a 10 minute lesson on turf VS grass ?

I could also do w/o Theisman demanding refs "pull it out of their pants "

Yeah, I AM weird.

I just don't really care. I just tune him out.
