Troy Aikman is biased against the Skins (MET)

[jnhay]

He's one of my favorites, and I like Buck, too.

People get so upset if someone even mentions the Cowgirls, Eagles, or Giants during a Skins game. I imagine some people here almost have heart attacks screaming at the TV when someone mentions one of our rivals.

People need to relax.

Just because you're not paying attention to it doesn't mean it's not there.

There was a a flag on the play. Everything was in a state of suspension. In those instances, commentators are trying to figure out what the flag might have been. Until the refs make a call, penalties are on the minds of the commentators. Aikman made his comment during that time. So quit bichen.

[Dallascrushers]

people fail to forget I believe who ended his career....it was a Redskin named Lavar Arrington...so he has a lot of pinned up anger for the skins....so **** Aikman

[Darth Tater]

Aikman is right. The rule is on the books. It could very well have been called.

In 1978 a rule was placed on the books that was usually ignored until 1994 and then again until the Colts started ****ing about 7-8 years ago.

[Warhead36]

I've normally supported Aikman but he was BAD today. D Hall for excessive celebration, seriously?

Now you're just embarrassing Redskins fans as a whole.

I actually thought Aikman gave us way too much props during the Zorn era. He used to build up JC as a fighter. I'm sure then he was an idiot homer or something....

This stuff is just silly. Dude is a Hall of Famer from Dallas, give the guy a break and let him show a little bias here and there. Who gives a ****? I say **** the oversensitive politically correct world. "OH MY GAWD HE SAID DALLAS MIGHT WIN ANUDDER GAME THIS YEAR!"

I would like to think my fellow Skins fans are better than this.

[theivorhick]

I really hate when this Tool calls our games. You can ALWAYS hear his bias against the Redskins. It's good to know it's not just me that hears it. Hell, even the guys on the Redskins Post Game show commented on it. It's sad when other media guys are also saying you're biased. Eff Aikman! I'm glad Lavar ended his career (one of the few good things he did here in Washington).

[OuterBanksTarHeel]

Yes, everyone is so biased against a team that hasn't been a factor or even relevant for 20 years.

Just stop it.

[Taylorfan2179]

With Hall sitting on three picks Aikman actually said "I don't know why the Bears haven't taken a shot deep against DeAngelo Hall."

I'll tell you why Troy, b/c he has three ******* picks?!?!?! One for a 92 ******* yard TD and the difference in the game?!?!

Two plays later Cutler throws deep and Hall gets his fourth. Troy? Where are you Troy? Some props for Hall please? No? **** *** Troy. **** *** to infinity Troy.

Can you imagine if Terence Newman had done what Hall did today? Would he have talked about anything else?

This guy is just brutal to listen to for three hours, all he does is criticize, both teams, ad nauseum in his droning drawl, it's absolutely ******* agonizing.

LOCAL RADIO AUDIO OPTION NOW DIRECTV!!!

Local radio option? really? you want to listen to sam huff? Id rather listen to puppies being strangled then listen to a game involving commentary from sam huff and larry michael.

Edit: aikman did have a few biased calls today, but at least he isn't a total idiot like most former players/commentators. He's usually top notch, people who think otherwise just get upset because he doesnt larry michael us. He calls it how it is typically, however, just because he was a former cowboy, if he calls us bad because we are, he's a biased idiot and should never speak again. personally I feel this very way about a lot of redskins fans.

For me, it's not that. Joey T gets on my damn nerves with his incredible bias, but he makes it clear that he is biased. Troy Aikman, on the other hand, saw Hall catch 4 interceptions and didn't say a word. And really just criticized him the whole way. I'm not going to start a petition or anything, but it just gets on my nerves.

[OuterBanksTarHeel]

Some of you do realize that Dallas fans hate Aikman as a commentator too? In fact, all fans seems to complain about his "bias" against their own team. THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S ALWAYS SOMEWHAT CYNICAL. IT'S HIS APPROACH.

[WALL-LE]

i think he's revolting for having to cover us every week.. LOL

[thebluefood]

Meh, I don't mind Aikman.

It's his special friend Joe Buck I can't stand. Thankfully, he won't be doing any football games until the World Series is over. The bad news is, I'm a baseball fan, so I'm stuck with this guy for at least four days. Ugh.

[WesB]

I don't think he did a good job today. He was negative towards the 'Skins for the majority of the game and you are right; didn't say much about the day D. Hall had. Maybe he still doesn't like DB's!

[Skins_Fan82]

i LOVE seeing Tom Brady on his back.

he's such a spoiled little punk, Tom's had one of the best offensive lines during his entire career.

[Rypien1191]

I didn't agree with Troy's statement about Hall,but I don't think that had anything to do with bias. Called a good game today.

It should have been a penalty every time he went to his knees, according to the rules.

[Skinsfan1311]

I used to be an "Aikman as a commentator" fan. Not any more. **** him.

[KokoMike]

Aikman and dallas sucks.

[JTNumber7]

Aikman also needs to take remedial English. "Peppers played very disinterested last week, but I expect him to be impactful today." Plus a ton of "he did good," and "he did it like what he did before." This is a college graduate?

[RonArtest15]

Hall's celebration is a violation of the rules. We can't dispute that. I really hope he changes that. That is something easily prevented and would just be a dumb mental error if we got penalized for it today or get penalized for it down the road.

what rule is hall exactly violating? Didn't see any flags for dudes doing "the dougie," so I think Hall is good....

You should also consider that he's on live TV. It's not that easy.

I agree. Especially considering how Hall is just doing the same celebration he's always done. A celebration that I don't think has ever gotten him flagged.

[Mark The Homer]

After this Bears game, I have to agree with the OP.

[Commander PK]

After this Bears game, I have to agree with the OP.

X 2. I used to have the utmost respect for Aikman as a commentator, because I didn't think he was biased at all. During this season, he has successfully changed my view of him.

**** Aikman....
