That’s total bullshit Doug. What qualifies you to decide how someone should live their life? So you’re now the authority on what motivates Andrew Luck? And if his decisions don’t fit into what you think is best for him then you rip him? Guess that keeps you employed on FS1. Nice

Two losing seasons in 12 years (one of those last year without Rodgers for 9 games); took the Packers to the playoffs in 9 of the last 11 seasons; 4 NFC Championship Games, 1 Super Bowl title. Yes Gerry, he deserved better than to be fired mid-season. Is that cliche enough for ya

Troy Aikman, cliche machine, says Mike McCarthy deserved better. McCarthy was head coach in Green Bay for 13 years. He won one Super Bowl. How long did he deserve, Troy? Fourteen years? Twenty?

Like most kids of my generation, I grew up watching MNF w Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell & my mom’s favorite Don Meredith so you can only imagine my excitement to be part of the legacy of MNF & continue working w Joe Buck, my broadcast partner for the last 20 years! #MNFonESPN🏈

Sad news today as we lost a teammate far too soon. Wade Wilson was my backup from 1995-‘97 and my QB coach my last season in 2000. Prayers for his children and family. #RIP

I love a flyover but It was odd to see one over a mostly empty stadium but I am an unwavering patriot that loves this country, has always respected our flag, supported the men and women in the armed forces as well as those in uniform who serve & protect and for anyone to suggest

Lots of people talk about the importance of winning but how many are truly willing to sacrifice individual achievement and gain for the good of the team/group. From my experiences, not many.

Bart Starr was a true gentleman and one of the kindest people I knew. I had elbow surgery following our ‘95 Super Bowl in Birmingham and Bart made a visit to the hospital. To this day, not sure how he even knew I was there. #ripbart

This is an embarrassment but we couldn’t fill the Rose Bowl in 1988 when we were the #1 team in the country. Anyone else at UCLA think it’s time for an on-campus 30,000 seat stadium? Of course, if we can’t play better than we did today, it would be half-empty too.

32 years ago today... For as long as I could ever remember, my dream was to one day be a professional athlete and that dream was realized on April 23, 1989 when the Dallas Cowboys selected me with the #1 overall pick. Also the last draft for Commissioner Pete Rozelle

What a game. So proud of both teams tonight. One of those games when there’s not a loser - only a winner. This was college athletics at its finest. Congratulations Coach Cronin and UCLA on one great season! Hats off to Gonzaga.

@TroyAikman I see you’re getting a little heat from your comments about me last night during the broadcast. No issues at all. I know your heart and understand there was no malice intended whatsoever. We should catch up...maybe over a cup of coffee or two!! 😁

Always wish I could’ve said I had played, if even for a year, for Coach Landry. I had dinner w him the week of the Cotton Bowl but that was as close as I got. What a man. What an icon.

On this day in 1988 Tom Landry coached his final game, a 23-7 loss to PHI that would set DAL up for success over next decade. The loss gave the Cowboys the No. 1 pick (Troy Aikman). On his way out of the stadium, and knowing his fate, Landry wished those he saw a Merry Christmas.

NFL stance now is there’s a difference between lowering your head and “initiating” contact (penalty) and lowering your head and “bracing” for contact (no penalty); Seriously? Best of luck to all of the officiating crews.

Congratulations Tom on an incredible career. You did it the old-fashion way - you earned all of it. I was fortunate to have called some of your biggest games and I look forward to you doing the same for the game’s future greats on Fox. Much respect🐐

Great shot! The “huddle” was/is a unique place that I always felt the QB had to command...fond memories from this picture alone.

Mike Leach on how accuracy is most-critical QB trait & biggest mistake HS through NFL coaches always make is pretending they can fix it. "You can go get the shortstop & teach him to play QB easier than you can make someone accurate." Starts :30 in: m.youtube.com/watch?feature=

You may hate the cowboys and what not but one thing you 100% can say is Troy Aikman calls it as he sees it and doesn’t let his rivalry with our team throughout his career get in the way of what he sees commentating our games. Much respect to Troy! Love the honesty #FlyEaglesFly twitter.com/JeffSkversky/s…

Just got the news of NFL great Kevin Greene’s passing. He was a fierce competitor during our playing days and one of the most sincere guys off the field. I always enjoyed our visits before the games he was coaching - gone far too soon. #restinpeace

AUTHENTICITY MATTERS. Lately there's been a lot of talk about beer companies and not nearly enough conversation about what really matters - the beer itself. Some brands are taking shortcuts to gain consumers. We're committed to producing a first-class product. No hidden agenda.… Show more
