Maybe I've missed something but I just don't get the hate on him, unless it's purely based on him being a Cowboy, but even then it's kind of a weak reason to me.

He's on Fox's payroll now, not the Cowboys. Get over it. As an analyst he does a pretty damn good job or he wouldn't be where he is.

BINGO!

I even started out with maybe I'm old school but my bias is simply because he was a cowboy. You grow to not like some one because they play for the enemy then they end up announcing your game. Again I said it was a loyalty issue for me. Yes I suppose I should just accept it and move on and ignore the fact that he was the enemy, but as I said I have difficulty with that part.

Football completely changed for the worse back in 1994. Players switching teams, no player team or team player loyalty. I can only hope the Dallas fans are forced to listen to Theismann all the time.
