Mount Calls on ESPN to Rip Joe Buck and Troy Aikman’s $100 Million Contract During Monday Night Football Over Disappointing Commentary

Be honest: how many of you are watching the Buffalo Bills-New York Jets game on mute? We know some of us certainly are. The commentary was terribly bad and unbearable to hear. Some even call it ‘yapping’.

About two years ago, ESPN signed Joe Buck and Troy Aikman to a deal that will pay them more than $100 million to host a Monday Night Football game. In return, ESPN handed over a Friday night college football game in exchange for the announcers. This trade might have turned out to be a bad bargain.

There have been several instances where the duo was caught slipping. In the second quarter on Jets 2 and 10 Aaron Rodgers delivered a 23-yard pass to Breece Hall and the commentators couldn’t stop praising him. That game and the commentary did not go down well with the football fans at all.

There’s a divide between people who think Aikman and Buck are leaning heavily on the Jets, while some Jets fans think the duo is beating the team for no reason. Something else happened with 6:54 remaining in the second quarter. It was Tyler Bass’ turn to kick for the XP, but he failed. Watch the conversation between Aikman and Buck.

Joe Buck: Bass. No chance. That was just weird.

Troy Aikman: I don’t think the wind has anything to do with it.

Buck: I’ve seen better kicks than the ones on “College GameDay.” What the hell was that?

Looking closely at the kick, there may have been a chance the ball was deflected by a Jets player, but the commentator ignored that. When you compare this MNF broadcast to what’s happening on the Manning Cast, it’s a night and day difference. For many fans, this comment is merely ear bleed. Listening to Tom Brady might be less hectic right now. But let’s see what the fans say.

Fans bash Tory Aikman and Joe Buck

One fan was fed up with Troy Aikman siding with the Jets and shared his dissatisfaction with X, saying: “@TroyAikman you need to be off the air my man. call both teams fair, you f-khead.

Another person wrote down their frustration over Aikman apparently taking shots at the Jets. His message read: “I’m tired of hearing about Troy Aikman basically throwing punches at the Jets. I hope we make this loser. Eat his words.” A fan commented on the post saying Aikman mistook Joe Tippman for Connor McGovern.

Another fan was not happy that the MNF game with Rodgers in focus is being called by the duo in question. This is my absolute worst nightmare. Aaron Rodgers gets a call from Troy Aikman and Joe Buck on Monday Night Football.😵💫.”

Joe Buck called the Rodgers’ 23-yard pass to Breece Hall a great play, but in this fan’s eyes it couldn’t have been further from the truth. “Joe Buck has no idea what he’s talking about. That’s a bad pass from Aaron Rodgers. I can’t throw a ball like that to a running back. #MNF.”

The terrible comment even forced one fan to think about the afterlife when he wrote: “Listening to Joe Buck and Troy Aikman call a football game is what hell must be like.”
