00:00uh we got an issue here with one of the number one tandem i guess with joe buck and
00:05troy aikman the guys that uh that call uh all the monday night games here what is uh what is
00:12this all about what's going let me guess is it got something to do with money what is it
00:17yeah this is this is uh you know a strange one here and uh you know listen i have my
00:22own media
00:22stuff going on right now but um so you know having a little bit of insight on it i think
00:29gives me you know a little opportunity to to talk about it i think that that's fair and i i
00:35usually
00:35don't love to mix up media conversations on shows just because i i do some of the stuff that they
00:40do
00:40and i think sometimes it is unfair but this is one of those stories that when things happen in like
00:48you know arguments tmz style stuff joe i always wait i feel like it's always appropriate to wait
00:54a little time before we start talking about it because we don't really know if it's true and and
01:01people are posting videos and it looks like they don't like each other and it's like i and i'm and
01:06i'm watching the same videos online i'm like i don't think this really says anything about it yeah this is
01:10all nonsense and then of course troy aikman talks today and then troy aikman lets it all out then yeah
01:17there's beef like like i i couldn't believe it i couldn't believe it so uh there's no question
01:26that look i don't know what's going on with troy aikman and joe buck that i can't say i have
01:30no
01:30clue because i'm not there and i'm just reading everything and i don't think we should believe
01:33what people read but there's no question that troy aikman is very upset with his contract in espn
01:39there's i think he left no doubt whatsoever joe with the quote that he gave today that he said he's
01:45going to be a free agent at the end of the season like that was factual so uh i i
01:51don't know so joe
01:52i mean i guess it comes down to us like how do we feel about this i think it's fair
01:56to say at least
01:57for me like we we're analyzing analysts at this point it is fair to say for me and i don't
02:04know
02:04about you joe that joe buck is still an elite play-by-play caller in football always has been
02:10in baseball to me he is if not the best he is one of the best and probably will be
02:15around
02:15for the next 20 30 years unequivocally as one of the highest paid guys do we agree on that maybe
02:20you don't like him i don't know but i i think so i think he's at the top do you
02:25agree with that or no
02:27you're talking about buck yes let's start with buck listen i i think buck is the best baseball
02:34guy that you're gonna have around number one number two i think he football he is he's he's the
02:41number one football guy of all right now yes i i think i think i think so too i think
02:48he'd be the
02:48first choice okay so there you go so now so we've agreed on that so now let's get so now
02:53now let's
02:54paint the picture so now we've agreed on that espn has also decided what you and i have just decided
02:59that he is the best because they're paying him like it right espn has has decided that they don't
03:05think troy aikman is that's very clear they they have obviously decided that they don't think troy
03:11aikman is worth paying the money that they are cbs also decided that they don't think that tony romo
03:18was worth paying the money that they were so what we have are starting to learn here is that these
03:25networks are valuing their play-by-play maybe more than the analysts and here's the other thing about
03:31troy aikman who i still think is great i still still think he's done a good job joe he's been
03:36removed from the nfl in terms of playing for a really really long time but yet he was involved
03:42in the miami dolphins head coaching search which tells you that they valued his opinion on scouting
03:47so i really don't know where this is coming from because the nfl still believes that troy aikman is a
03:53good analyst and understands the game so much so that the dolphins let him in their house and said
03:57hire our coach at our gm but espn apparently is looking at him like you know if cbs can pay
04:04jj
04:04watt half the amount of money that we that we just paid tony romo and he is just as good
04:10what can we
04:11bring in somebody it can peyton manning just slide in from his manning cast and do the games on monday
04:17night football instead of troy aikman and maybe for half the price that's the only thing i could think
04:22of joe i got nothing else except that there's no question that troy is upset though but that with
04:26that that was a horrible quote i mean he was giving it his truth and heart but that was a
04:31horrible quote they got still got five months to work together joe espn has the super bowl
04:35they gotta work together the super bowl this is a long way away from being over
