    Seriously? Does being a pretty boy QB for America's team buy you that much. Dude is terrible. "Atlanta's not a big play offense which is going to hurt them being down" really Aikman. king of the obvious, I generally don't care about the announcing team, even clyde never really bothered me much other than the fact they didn't give the job to van chancellor. but aikman is doing national games and its awful.

    He's also biased towards the Cowboys... as you would expect.

    I'm going to hate listening to Buck and Aikman for the Super Bowl.

    Troy after any play close to the first down marker: "It's going to depend on the spot."

    No **** Sherlock. All first downs do.

    I agree, he isn't very good and as mentioned is biased toward a particular team which no announcer should be.

    Buck and Aikman suck the life out of every damned game they cover, and when they're doing the Cowboys broadcasts, it is blatant homerism fan service.

    it still amazes me that networks put joe buck on these championship games. He just isnt good. know he's got the family name but how the hell does he keep getting these gigs?

    also, why are there no videos of troy aikmen dating a woman? :confused:

    Why Buck and Aikman are the A team for Fox is just mind boggling. It's like neither one of them has ever heard of voice inflection.....they literally make every single play sound like it's a 2 yard run up the middle. Aikman brings NOTHING to the table as far as analysis, and Joe Buck is the epitome of nepotism. He's the Dylan Gwinn of broadcasting. He doesn't even LIKE sports!! I've always hated Fox for sporting events because they turn something that's supposed to be about the game itself into a freaking sideshow with all their effects, and little cartoons. Nothing will ever beat NBC back in the day. Best music, best broadcast teams, and best coverage. The NFL on CBS nowadays is a close second, however. Thank God the Texans are in the AFC.
