Troy Aikman

[SCVDem]

Does he look stoned? His eyes are so red.

Packers V Seahawks, on now, FOX.

[Hassler]

1. My thought too.

[Liberalhammer]

2. I wish I was stoned.

Just saying. It would make the game less stressful.

[milestogo]

3. I think he's just cold.

[SCVDem]

4. 60 Degrees in So Cal.

I'm home making chicken soup and ready for the kickoff!

Go! Well, you know!

[Ilsa]

5. That could be anything like allergies, a bad night's sleep, etc. nt

[yonder]

6. He's got choo-choo eyeballs.....

And a hooter in the booth.

[edhopper]

15. it's ju-ju eye balls

[yonder]

18. That's another one I've corrupted over the years.

[edhopper]

27. yeah

I've missed on a lot of lyrics.

[SCVDem]

7. I've been to Lambeau

at minus 5.

Watch how you tip that beer!

Better yet? Schnapps!

Ya Der Hey! 7

[Skittles]

8. whatever it is, it seems to be chronic

[a kennedy]

9. I just want him gone......

Never liked him as announcer.

[gainesvillenole]

14. Exactly

He is TERRIBLE as a color analyst.... making the broadcast virtually unwatchable. All he does is mumble while simply describing what you’re already seeing on the replay “he catches the ball and runs until John Smith tackles him”. Always the WHAT and never the WHY.
Lazy and unprepared (I’ll leave the drunk/stoned speculation to others)
Tony Romo on CBS does a fantastic job.

[snowybirdie]

10. It's 22 degrees

with the wind blowing, seems like 16. That makes eyes water.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. Part of it is his face; he's always looked heavy-lidded and drowsy.

[Lochloosa]

12. I hope so. It might make him tolerable.

[Dave in VA]

13. Someone on another thread

had previously asked, "wouldn't you have to be stoned to sit in the announcer's booth with Joe Buck for 3 plus hours?"

He always looks this way every time I've seen him on TV.

[yonder]

22. +1. Joe Buck is the guy who drives me nuts.

Not sure why. Maybe because he seems to wear his short guy status on his sleeve. That or the hair plug thing.

[MyNameGoesHere]

16. No its a flash back from this

[Ilsa]

17. Jimmy Johnson, his former coach is headed to the NFL Hall of Fame.

They are having a reunion on set during halftime, and Troy was red-eyed.

[SCVDem]

19. At least an hour

before the game.

Ever hear of Visine?

[Falcata]

20. I hate the Dallas Cowboys

but I like Aikman and Romo as color commentators. Now Witten otoh.....

[Grown2Hate]

23. Same. Eagles fan here, and I don't MIND Aikman as an analyst...

but I actually LOVE Romo as an analyst (SO good; great with his insights into the details of the game).

During that halftime where they surprised Johnson with his Hall of Fame entrance (and you saw Aikman getting emotional, which is where I think I lot of the red-eyes comments are coming from), I texted a Cowboy fan friend of mine this:

"Man, FUCK Jimmie Johnson and Troy Aikman (two of the guys more responsible for beating my Eagles throughout the 90's)...

For making me actually tear up and cry during the Hall of Fame call. Fucking awesome. Congrats, brutha!"

Moving moment. Old age is making me soft. LoL

[OAITW r.2.0]

26. Huge Romo fan here. (Patriots fan)

I like his analysis and the way he presents it. When a great play is made, he really let's his emotions flow. Fun to listen to with no self-PR.

[Blue_true]

21. He could have an eye infection. nt

[Wounded Bear]

24. It's what 20 concussions do to you...

[jcgoldie]

25. This is rather silly

Judge much? FFS maybe the guy stayed up late preparing for the game... or anything else... settle down officer.

[JDC]

28. His eyes are bulgy and red every broadcast.

Week in, week out.
