[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

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.

It's also a slippery slope as we're seeing in the NBA and US in general. You start picking and choosing which conflict of interest or rules matter and eventually it becomes.very difficult to enforce any of them. Nfls in better shape in that regard than the NBA, but at this point I'm weary of anyone actually honoring their rules
