Troy Aikman would rather call Cowboys a wild card game

Troy Aikman would rather be in Dallas.

At the end of Sunday’s wild card playoff game between the Buccaneers and the Eagles, which Aikman and Joe Buck were broadcasting, Buck made a commercial for the 49ers-Cowboys game that began around 4:40. Normally, such a match would be on Fox, the company that has the rights to NFC, but this week the top playoff is on CBS, with Jim Nantz and former Cowboys teammate Tony Romo getting the call. call.

“It’s going to be a great game,” Aikman said. “I mean a really good game. There are a lot of people who want to call that game. “

There has been a lot of hype around the Niners-Cowboys, should have been a ratings buster as both teams have substantial fan bases around the country. Philadelphia-Tampa Bay, a game that was never competitive, has no such influence.

Buck froze, before getting back into action. He and Aikman were forced to play string in Tampa .’s 31-15 win. Aikman played all 12 of his seasons with Dallas, winning three Super Bowls.

Next time, perhaps Fox will take the advice of his top analyst and move on with the Cowboys game.
