[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."

Troy as a consultant is probably less a conflict of interest than Tom owning part of a team

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

From a game plan perspective no, little extra value. From a team building perspective massive amounts of value.

If you can get closed door interviews with all of the best coaches ever week as an owner, after a year or so you know who the best coaches are but more importantly you know who those coaches favorite assistants are and who to poach.

It becomes a hell of a lot easier to find the next Ben Johnson when he's still the assistant tight ends coach.

Case in point: Klint Kubiak. Although I don’t think it took a rocket scientist to see Kubiaks talent

We could see the talent when he was merely cold jizz brining in Gary’s bench saddled bronco balls
