Drockvb Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Aikman does a great job. I really don't know why everyone thinks he is biased. If anything, especially in seasons past, he has seemed biased for the Redskins. He is usually very complementary of the Skin's players. I became a fan of the broadcast Aikman a couple of years back because of the great job was doing with the Skins games he was assigned to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlass Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I thought he was biased mnyself and I usually don't notice those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I hate seeing Aikman on skins games. He's always on Dallas games, like, they don't even try to hide it. Dallas is on a bye, so he's gotta call the skins game I guess. Perhaps they want some of that bias for interesting commentary. With that said...I didn't notice him being biased at all. All I can remember is actually being surprised at how he was praising one of our players. I think it was Portis. You wanna talk biased, that Jim Mora ******* calling the Rams game was unbelievable. I really think he should be fined or fired for the way he acted during that game. He literally cheered out loud like a fan when McNabb was about to be sacked. UN-****ING-BELIEVABLE.

Skins199021 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I love Aikman he is great he never seems to be biased. Buck though is obsessed with the Cowboys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr1 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Anytime I hear someone on this board (not picking on the OP in general) complaining that "(insert mediot personality here) hates us and so on and so forth" this is all I imagine now.. Do you seriously not think Buck is in the tank for the pukes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorfan2179 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I mean, not a bad post, but your title should indicate that it's your overall thoughts, not just your (inaccurate, as he's the best commentator in the game) view on Troy Aikman.I also don't see the obsession over our bad safeties. People were clamoring for Moore to return so that he could . . . miss a ridiculous number of tackles? Now we want Horton back so that he can do what? Nothing? I agree with all of this. Aikman is the best commentator in the game. I started out biased against him, but he is one of 2 former players I actually respect. the others are seriously just idiots. And our free safety spot is terrible, have thought so all along. moore is not special, horton is not a free safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veteranskinsfan Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Aikman has really never said anything decent about the Skins for a long time. He always talks more about our opponents whomever we play. I just turn the sound down when he is assigned our games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsWizCubsDukes Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 He certainly knows the game, and he is very accomplished at criticizing the Redskins. He is also a first-rate apologist for whatever team the Redskins might be playing at the time. My homer bias is freely acknowledged, but last night he was particularly bad... On par with Mora in St. Louis... BTW, did anyone hear Mora yell "We got it!" right before the McNabb INT in the St. Louis game. No class. As for Aikman, he is the best commentator that is on fox. Although that's not saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 The fact that we have this exact thread multiple times every season is laughable. Aikman is perhaps the most professional and unbiased commentators in the business, it just seems that some Skins fans can't look past the fact that he played in Dallas.

THE HAMMER'IN HOG Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I watched the whole game and didn't think he had an anti-skins bias. Sure there was the discussion about the penalty, but you all know that had the roles been reversed we would be *****in and moaning about the call. The rest of the game he talked about two main things - the Skins running game, and Kolb's faults.... Many need a commentator who tells them how great the Redskins are for an entire 3 hours of TV time, Aikmen has always been more than fair with us, and a top flight commentator regardless of who he's covering! Here's an Aikmen bias, he noted how McNabb running out of bounds after he ran for a 1st down was pretty stupid to say the least, and that play will for the most part sum it up for us with what we have in McNabb, in the middle of the play this moron has to point 1st down with his finger once he realizes he had the 1st, he has the frame of mind to show off and attempt to rub Phillies nose in what would have seemed to be a game ending play, but because of his stupidity he runs out of bounds instead of sliding in bounds allowing the Eagles to save a timeout, and if it weren't for a dropped ball by Avant on the last play that little antic would have cost us the game, and that is McNabb in a nutshell, and why he is no longer in Philli.

Bubble Screen Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Aikman is the best in the business. The only biased ones are the ones that don't see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubble Screen Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I disagree with the majority so far. Aikman's very good. He doesn't show any bias against the Redskins. I don't know what you guys are talking about. This. I don't know what games these other posters are watching. Good lawd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubble Screen Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I don't have a problem with Aiken but yesterday he was bad. It is Joe Buck that I can't stand. Aiken? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangSteve Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 You guys are nuts on Aikman...he is superb.....I do agree that he missed the boat a bit on the Reid call, but he did a really nice job of breaking down Kolb....Aikman is an A+ analyst.Thats the fact.

MassSkinsFan Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I was thinking of this thread while watching the game, and I've got to say that anyone who still feels this way after today's game is delusional.

DeadExField Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I don't know Mass, he had some moments, but the broadcasting just seemed to point towards a lot of negative aspects for us, playing at home.

Mister Happy Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 He wouldn't shut up about how the Packers had injuries. It was like he was making excuses in case the Redskins won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmania123 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I disagree. Aikman has been very complementary of the Skins. I think he is honest in his assessments. Nothing he said in this game was false regarding our play the first half. And he was the first to say we turned it around in the second half.

BURGUNDYBLEEDER Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Early in the game he was talking up Baluga on one of their first possessions during a replay where Orakpo was clearly held, he failed to mention it while praising Baluga on the play. "That was a good kick...except for not making it." Troy Aikman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadExField Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I agree Aikman is a good football commentary based on his knowledge of the game. His voice isn't annoying and kidlike (see Collinsworth), but sometimes he has a hard on for us failing...sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
