It fits Troy's personality perfectly. As a player he was very critical as well. Especially when Switzer came aboard.
But Troy didn't tolerate crap from other players either. He was a disciplinarian and perfectionist . I'd say his Broadcasting is a true reflection of his personality and why he's my favorite Color guy and probably #1 in NFL.
When Aikman first started, he reminded me a bit of Joe Morgan on baseball. Both would make comments, about the game / play. Then they would explain it. So, and especially kids could understand what they said, and learn from it. And that was great.
But Troy seems to have gotten away from that. I wish he would get back to that.
Maybe they told him not to be that way. I have no idea. But he was much better then IMO.
I love Troy and his comments when on local shows, even back when he was being critical of them, but was straight forward. But for some reason while on with Bucky Joe, he's different.
He is not all that bad, even though I make many comments about him. But it's more he comes across as not trying to be a homer, so it doesn't sound right. However, we being cowboys fans and look at him as a cowboy. We tend to be more critical.
I will say this also, it's better he is the way he is, as to the way Randy Cross was. Or Todd Christiansen, they both hated Dallas, and it very truly came across in their broadcast.
I rather Troy be Troy than an outright homer or hater.
When we win and are consistent, the opinion of his broadcast will change to many viewers. Some anti Dallas fans will start calling him a homer when he says good things that are actually true.
