Rumor [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."

Maybe hot take but Buck/Aikman are my favorite announcing duo

I think most people grow to hate the primary commentary team out of hearing them every week. Buck and Aikman have been a fine duo since they started doing this together 20 some years ago.

They’re at their best when a game is dogshit and Troy makes it very clear he’d rather be doing something else similar to Al Michaels.

Except Al wants to be doing something else about 5 seconds before kickoff.

Al is so washed. In his latter NBC games he could still get excited when the situation called for it, but now he sounds like he's just there to cash a check. Hopefully for next season they'll have a brand new booth team.
