enough of Troy Aikman

on his Cowboys is satisfaction enuff for me………………

I now hate dallas worse then the falcons because of that ignorant S O B we should take tony homo out and have a saint fan with a sign saying thinking of you aikmen

i think u guys are just homers!

I used to respect Aikman when he was a player. Not anymore. You’re a FOX analyst, not a Dallas Cowboys analyst. And of all of the teams for him to hate…the Saints were bad in pretty much every year that he had to play(and lose) to them. That would be like Brees retiring, being a commentator and hating the Lions.

 be calling the game Saturday since its on the NFL network? Plus can or is he more annoying then Tony Kornheiser on Monday night football

I hardly notice what is being said.

he calls it both ways but he tends to favor NFC East teams, I mean he was Mr. COWBOY for crying out loud!!! But i friggin hate the Cowboys……….YUCK!!!

Nice loss by them this week

He disagreed with the refs all day, regardless of the team victimized. If I hate anyone in that telecast, it’s the Midnight Cowboy, Joe Buck. That guy bugs me. I’d really love if Troy was calling the Cowboys game. However he feels about the Saints, he is definitely critical of the Cowboys. He’s like Jerry Jones’ mother, and Tony Romo is some floozy girl Jones has been hanging around with too often.

but, what I do – since I live in FL now – is snyc up the NFL Package with the audio from WWL that runs on sirius SAtellite. THere is a 10-15 sec delay, so you have to pause the game with a DVR and then you got Jim and Hokey – beautiful

Usually by this point in the season I am cursing and swearing that I will NEVER spend the money for the NFL package again, but to see my Saints 13-0 is priceless.

NBC needs to can Oberman. He is a vile liberal hack who all but campaigned for tha assasination of GWB. How can he be on and Limbaugh gets canned.
freakin scum

He’s just upset his Cowboys cant win in dec. I’m just glad he isnt calling the game saturday night
Joe Buck and Troy boy must be the worst announcers on fox but hopefully we wont have to hear from him much more
And I really do think he has a bias against teams that aren’t from NFC east
And he definitly has a bias when he’s calling a Cowboys game

I have 2 favorite teams in the NFL, da Saints and whoever plays da cowgirls on Sunday. Been great last 2 weeks, 4-0, and after next Saturday, will make it 5-0 in December.

Worst announcer of ALL TIME——-Dan Deerdork. musta been a michigan man, he was only guy to have ever played in NFL and never have a screw-up, according to him. A real legend in his own mirror.

Geaux Saints Geaux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RAZOOOOOOOOOOOOOO da cowgirls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wrote a similar sentiment on a different post just a few minutes ago but I think it’s worth repeating. I don’t have any strong feelings about Troy one way or the other, but he has a weekly radio show where he’s been very complimentary of the Saints on a couple of occassions that I’ve heard (keeping in mind I don’t make a point of listening to his show).

Do you think that after so many years of too often being the NFL’s whipping boy, we might be a little over sensitive??? We have a great team this year. Every knowledgeable sports writer or analyst in the country KNOWS this. So I think we need not get so bent out of shape anytime one of them says something that isn’t exactly what we want to hear. It’s almost as goofy as thinking one’s political leanings should be a qualifier regarding if they should be allowed to call a game or comment on football.

I get that he almost always has a problem with every penalty being called or not called. He seems to have this need to cause controversy or give the losing team a reason to think the refs hosed them. That doesn’t really bother me as much as his lack of simple football knowledge.

During yesterday’s game, the Saints had one play where they got 2 penalties called on the Falcons: offsides, and pass interference. The Saints accept the PI call, which Aikman didn’t think should have been called, and he launches into this rant on how it would have been 3rd and 10, but instead the Saints are getting a 1st down. He completely disregarded the fact that at worst, the offsides would have made it 2nd and 5.

Then there was his observation that Hartley was in a slump after missing the extra point. Until that moment, Hartley was perfect on extra points, and the only missed field goal was a hail mary of a 50+ yarder from the previous week. Some slump.

So it isn’t any kind bias that makes me dislike Aikman. Its that in almost every game there is some moment that makes me question if he is even paying attention to the game, or just waiting for Joe Buck to give him his turn to speak. I’m sure he has a decent understanding of the game after playing for so long, but I don’t know if it is the concussions or what that is keeping him from expressing intelligent thought.
