Why is Aikman a Cowboy hater?

[Boysn066666666]

The guy made his name, career, money and super bowls there. Why does he always have a negative view on Big D?? Anyone know?

I know.. When he does a Dallas game, forget about it.... he'll give the other team credit all the time.

Aikman's being objective. As Cowboys fans, it may hurt to hear one of our hero's criticize the team, but it's not like he's wrong or anything. It's his job.

 

[clayman]

He's a pro and doesn't wanna seem like a biased homer....to me thats respectable.

 

[Cochese]

Get over it. He doesnt get paid to support the Cowboys, he is now an NFL analyst. I respect him because he tries so hard to remain neutral.

 

[Chief]

I think he's been very fair.

When Dallas finally wins a playoff game, he'll probably give them their due.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Is this because of his Owens comments?

Yea, it gets annoying. Not sure what this dudes problem is. He also likes to knock on Bledsoe. I hope to see less of the Aikman/Buck combo doing Cowboy games.

Right, I agree with you guys. One of my friends pointed out that he is trying not to show biased attitude towards cowboys. Yet, it seems like he still has hostilities towards cowboys or Jerry Jones.

I am going to email him, I think he works at Fox sports. Mention to him, he had better not say anything about restructering some cowboys contracts or Keyshawns, because when Jerry Jones went to him to redo his, divide his 10 million dollar cap hit into 2 years. Aikman said no, he thought it was better if Dallas took the hit, and he got his money. And he had better not compare the Commanders taking restructuring to Dallas players this year because he did not.

I understand that point that he doesn't want to be biased towards the Cowboys...but when you listen to him it seems as if he's being biased against the Cowboys rather than being neutral. He must have been disrespected by the team in some way when he left.

Its like working for your father. When you do something wrong he will let you know because he pays more attention to what you do wrong then others.

Tough love.

it just stings our ears more because we like him so much. He's being fair, I don't think anyone could point to him saying anything untrue.

It only seems like that to you...because you're a homer.

He's very neutral and unbiased imo, and sometimes he goes out of his way to mention the Cowboys organization in a good light.

You simply have unreasonable expectations.

 

[Boysn066666666]

No this isn't true. I personally couldn't care less if he goes out of his way to compliment the Cowboys. If I didn't know it was Troy Aikman announcing I would say why is this guy a Cowboy hater.

 

[KINGGIBBS]

It's called constructive criticism. Riggins does it to us all of the time and I mean all of the time. But, we still view him as one of the Commanders greats because of his accomplishments in a 'Skins uniform. He's critical because he cares.

 

[burmafrd]

Frankly he is bending over backwards and the result is that he sounds like a hater. I have hardly heard anything good from him about the Cowboys for several years now.

 

[the kid 05]

hes lookin out for drew...he just wants drew to have a good oline and not get the concusions...but seriously if u played with a team for what? 11 years did he play? i think it would be hard NOT to be hard on them especally after his records and sb wins

 

[burmafrd]

Troy has never forgiven the boys for letting him go after he had gotten his bell rung too many times. He should thank them- he can still walk and talk at the same time. Look at some of the other guys that played too long after too many concussions.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I have inside sources and they tell me he does it just to make cranky cowboys fans even madder.

He does it just to make you guys mad.

He absolutely hates the cowboys and with every fiber in his being he will find ways of dissing them.

===

For the record the above is called sarcasm.

Just because someone does not kiss the butt of all things cowboys does not mean he is dissing them.

I think Riggo says some stupid things sometimes, not just as a fmr skin where he is 'supposed' to help us, I just think he says some dumb things.

I really like Troy because I would really find myself hardpressed to find out who he played for if I didnt know previously. I havent noticed any bias but maybe if he did go against the boys to much, it could be because hes trying to show he isnt biased.
