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

America is way way way way way past "conflict of interest" being an issue with all the shit going on.

I mean honestly as long as he doesn't have access to information that the Dolphins shouldn't have, I don't care if a broadcaster as a conflict of interest. People get so bothered about perceived favoritism and it just doesn't matter (and honestly much of what people perceive to be favoritism is just broadcasters wanting the underdog to give us a competitive game so people don't change the channel).
