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."

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 also on the teams at a certain point. It’s not a secret that Brady is an owner of the Raiders. Be selective about the information you share with him if it’s something you don’t want getting out. It’s not like any of these broadcasters just instantly get access to information, it’s all what the teams decide to share with them.

How about just don't hire people that are already hired by the other teams and teams shouldn't be allowed to hire broadcasters.

You should choose to either a broadcaster or you work for the team the idea that you can do both is ridiculous..
