Troy Aikman

him and Joe Buck.

Aikman is not a true cowboy like Michael Irvin. He stabbed Chan in the back and he always comes out as the ‘good guy’…please.

He is talking the truth. We were beat pretty bad by Eagles. Aikman ain’t making up things so I do not have a problem with that. In fact, I want him to quote it as much as he can hoping that it will burn some of the boys watching the game. What else can a fan do from the outside to get his team fired up (except praying).

And for Longhorn, no offense dude but Aikman knows more football then you and I.

that what he says is true, and im not denying that. it just seems to me like he goes out of his way to bring it up, yet rarely praises the cowboys when they do something well.

he was the best IMO.

but yea troy always goes out of his way to prove he’s not a homer for the cowboys
especially when covering redskins games
every 10 minutes hes talking about how clinton portis is his favorite player and how he likes what the redskins are doing this year blah blah etc.

how he feels about the current team’s problems vs. the issues his squad had that were registered nil by the sweet smell of success.

Bottom line on Aikman – he is always towing the NFL line. (Or is it toeing? Never learned that idiom correctly…) Wouldn’t you do the same if you could be set for life?

He’s a commentator now…in fact, he’s the best color guy on the top rated NFL broadcast network. He gets paid to be objective. He’s always thought highly of Andy Reid (who time and time again has outcoached Dallas in key games going back even to our dynasty years).

Having an expectation that he won’t call it like he sees it is silly.

I, for one, applaud his candor.

Romo could use a lot of what Aikman brought to the table.

All of the Cowboys fans think he is horribly biased against them, and all of the non-Cowboys fans think he is horribly biased for them. I’m a property appraiser, and when I get phone calls complaining that I came in too high and phone calls complaining that I came in too low on the same day, I feel like I’m doing things right. I’d say the same is probably true for ex-players that are now in the booth or studio.

He’s just the puppet to Joe Suck. Sorry, I too noticed the over zealousness with which they mentioned last weeks’ fiasco in Philly. Had it been mentioned maybe twice, well you just have to deal with it. But those two hammered it like they had boated a shark. I understand being unbiased, and had they mentioned the Vikings edging the Giants with the same frequency then maybe I’d have chalked it up to lack of content to discuss during the game, but it was a bit overdone in my opinion.

Aikman is my second favorite commentator behind Madden.

But it does feel like he’s trying extra hard to prove that he is not favor of the Cowboys.

That said he did say back in 2007 that Romo will break any record that he (Troy) has set by the time he retires.

Aikman got sour when we didn’t hire Norv

If the Cowboys came out and finished 12-4, won a couple of playoff games etc next year; then Aikman would no longer be harshing on them.
