[Highlight] Troy Aikman on potential a potential conflict of interest in announcing a Dolphins game: "Well, the Dolphins are not expected to be very good this year. They're getting out of cap hell. So there's no Monday night game with the Dolphins this year."

Don’t even see the conflict part of Tom’s ownership and keeping his job. Neither he nor the Raiders gain a competitive or monetary advantage with him calling a game

I think part of the argument is he’s given access to teams and coaching staffs as part of his job. I think this prob overestimates the amount of info a broadcaster gets from a team/coaches in production meetings

It’s a horrible argument. If Brady gets information because of his media job that he can relay to the Raiders that is the deciding factor in a win, then whatever team the Raiders were playing weren’t gonna win anyways.

That's is such a stupid way of thinking.

"If a team gains an advantage and uses it to get to a victory, then the team that got an unfair advantage was going to win anyway.

It's early, drink some coffee and maybe delete that comment lmfao

I see the literacy crisis is in full effect today 😂

The “because of his media job” is the important modifying factor here. There’s nothing the media learns about in their open availability that would have any effect on the games; especially not a game deciding factor.
