re: Unpopular Opinion: Troy Aikman is a good commentator

They are all bad. Airman. Griese. Collinsworth. Adam Archuleta did a game earlier this year and was the worst I ever heard. Worse than Phil Simms. Get off my lawn.

I like him with Buck, they just kinda have that nostalgia that you're watching a prime mid-afternoon Sunday matchup. But Aikman speaks in so many platitudes and says the most obvious things. That's probably a good thing for the more casual fan but those who watch the NFL week-in week-out probably feel like they're being spoken to like we're idiots. He points out some of the most mundane things in the game and tries to emphasize it like it's a genius move. Literally did that last night with the timeout situation.

Him being a good announcer was surprising to a lot of the Dallas media. When he was a player, you couldn't get him to say two words when you asked him a question. I liked him better when he and Joe Buck weren't best friends. Troy tried harder and there weren't as many inside jokes.
