Aikman: I'm worth more than Peyton Manning

Future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning could soon be joining Hall of Fame counterpart Troy Aikman in the Fox broadcast booth.

By now it’s well known that Fox is willing to pay Manning $10 million per year to make the shift to calling games. If that’s the case, Aikman wants to be paid in kind.

He did also indicate that it would “be awesome” if Manning did end up with Fox.

Though, it’s not a surprise Aikman would attempt to use Manning’s potential contract as a way to up his deal with Fox. It’s smart business. Whether that happens remains to be seen.

I don't know about Peyton Manning but those I know refer to Troy Aikman and Joe Buck as Bevis and Butthead.

my other brother Darryl.... watch Joe Buck announced games with the sound off or with the local radio broadcast for audio.

Aikman is a whiner from his days at Oklahoma. Manning has been credibly accused of sexual harassment. I'm sure that won't prevent him from getting the job. Joe Buck is hated by many in his native St. Louis.

He's the best in the business if you want to know what's actually happening in the game.

Granted all NFL media loses any objectivity with the Patriots, but Collinsworth is especially bad.
