Less Huff In the Booth

[Daseal]

I don't get the Aikman hate. To me he seems relatively unbiased and calls a pretty good game. I'm not much of a Joe Buck fan, but Aikman is one of the better Fox announcers in my mind.

Loyalty brother. It's all about loyalty. Aikmen is very smart, good commentator, however I wish he was doing that for Dallas not the Skins. I personally don't want some jock strap from Seattle in my booth commontating about our Skins. I'd prefer it be an old Redskin.

To me Aikmen is a Cowboy. Why do I want a Cowboy in the booth during a Redskins game? Has nothing to do with who's the best commentator, it has everything to do with team loyalty and Aikmen was the evil, rival opponant. I don't want to hear him.

So you prefer a homer in the booth basically.

As long as the guy in the booth does his job well, which Aikman does, I could care less who he used to played for.

and yes I'd prefer a homer in the booth. Personally I'd bet the homer would be able to walk in and talk to the players more often and know whats going on with each player and his position better then Aikmen would. Can't speak for Huff though. I'm not saying Huff should not go, I'm saying Aikmen should go announce Dallas games before they get rid of Huff. But I will say I have not liked any of the young guys they have used in the past in place of or with Huff and his team.

To me that is.

The national guys get like 1 day to meet with the teams and talk to players. Remember it is ONE broadcast of TWO teams. Should Fox produce a separate broadcasts for each team's market? Which one do they provide to the nation? Not gonna happen. The point of the Fox/CBS/NBS/ESPN broadcast teams are to be neutral teams who can present the game for the entire country and speak neutrally abou the game and teams. It's the whole point.

I agree! Aikman is one of the best ones IMO.
