According to NY Post story on the behind the scenes fallout between Aikman, Buck and ESPN. Apparently since Aikman didn't splatter his social media and fall over himself deep-throating the greatest musical accomplishment since Hotel California, he was reviled by ESPN suits.

Another reason to dislike ESPN/McAfee. Team Aikman all the way.

McAfee being an industry plant is becoming more likely with every dumb thing that comes out like this. They are pushing McAfrr down our throats.

Glitter

LMAO

“AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album two-and-a-half out of five stars, calling it an ‘utter meltdown — the pop equivalent of Chernobyl’ and writing, ‘It's an embarrassment, one that might have been easier to gawk at if its creator wasn't so close to emotional destruction at the time of release.’”

LMAO
