Boomer Esiason Calls Out Troy Aikman For Being Too Pro-Cowboy



It's rare when one broadcaster calls out another broadcaster by name. Well, that's what Boomer Esiason does when he drops Troy Aikman's name on the radio. Boomer tells the WEEI's Dennis and Callahan Show that he "heard a legitimate bias from one Troy Aikman towards the Dallas Cowboys" and calls it rather "stunning."

Aikman's role as analyst on Fox's no. 1 NFL broadcast team has him doing several Cowboys games. Yes, he is a media guy now and can't hold a bias toward any team, but we all know that he loves the silver and blue.

I must admit that, aside from a story from his playing days, he does a pretty good job staying neutral during Dallas broadcasts. I watched every play of the Cowboys-Redskins game he did and don't remember him saying anything that resembled a bias. In a broadcast world where we get former Cowboys Darryl Johnston, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Jimmy Johnson, Keyshawn Johnson and Deion Sanders showing their Cowboys love each week, Aikman seems to be able to seperate his playing days a bit better than most.
