I never really liked Troy Aikman

[Delarage]

But he's apparently ridin' with Biden...........

Aikman: “That’s a lot of jet fuel just to do a little flyover.”

Buck: “That’s your hard-earned money and your tax dollars at work.”

Aikman: “That stuff ain’t happening with [a] Kamala-Biden ticket, I’ll tell you that right now partner.”

1. Fiddy Cent is for Trump....WTF?

Ari Melber will be upset.

8. Runnin' with the Klan...

...for a tax break.


Charming.

2. I have nothing but respect for Aikman. He's lived

his life with quiet dignity never snivelling or whining in the face of adversity. He won the cowboys their last three super bowls too.

Glad to see he's on the side of the angels in this election.

3. One of those Super Bowls

Was against my beloved Steelers---hence my animosity. Although Neil O'Donnell was the REAL culprit

4. I slowly became a fan. He proved himself to be a quiet warrior on the football field,

and turned into an excellent broadcaster after.

5. Aren't I surprised. Wow. I liked him better than most of the cowboys but I was expecting Trump crap.

[Kid Berwyn]

6. He said that on the tee vee?

Just went top shelf.

7. Blah, to his announcing, hate him......but love him if this is true.....

[redstateblues]

9. He's good tho I don't like him when he covers the Cowboys

He's too biased. He's not enjoying tonight's game

[Trenzalore]

10. Why are we doing flyovers in empty stadiums

That is a good question.

[fishwax]

11. I mean, I'm not sure that's really an endorsement of the Biden/Harris ticket

Given Aikman's past of supporting republican candidates at the national, state, and local levels (including some pretty conservative tea party-ish candidates), I'm not entirely convinced he's dancing with the donkey this time around. But it's certainly fun to hear the hot mic stuff just the same.

[Music Man]

13. Indeed. And Aikman's take is also not the most accurate thing.

Flyovers are going to stop in a Biden-Harris administration? Don't count on it.

[vercetti2021]

12. I'm surprised

For real I thought he was a trump humper

[spanone]

14. I agree with Troy, a huge waste of $.

[Delarage]

15. Maybe I was wrong

Others have pointed out that he has supported Repukes in the past---and the "Kamala-Biden" ticket could be a veiled insult (by putting Kamala first). At least they recognized the waste that the flyovers are.......

[Yeehah]

16. I hope that's true he supports Biden

I usually assume the rich suits in the broadcast booth are asswipe republicans like Al Michaels.

17. DoD sponsorship of the NFL.

There's an "Armed Services" weekend where all teams have camouflage-trimmed gear. Commercials for this or that branch of the Armed Services are pretty much constant.

They probably had an agreement made last year to do flyovers at X, Y, and Z games, and no one at the NFL cancelled them.
