Troy Aikman has fans concerned as 'bloodshot eyes' spotted on ESPN MNF broadcast - The Mirror US
ESPN 'Monday Night Football' color commentator Troy Aikman showed up to a pregame show looking bloodshot as rumors swirl about his future after a contract dispute with the network
Summary
ESPN color commentator Troy Aikman appeared on the network's "Monday Night Countdown" pregame show before the Week 7 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles, and fans on X commented that his eyes looked bloodshot. Aikman, 59, is splitting from Joe Buck, his on-air partner of 25 years. Buck signed an extension in early October, while Aikman, who was not offered the deal he wanted, plans to test the free-agent market.
Aikman later spoke with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Asked by the Dallas Morning News whether he would consider working with Dallas after ESPN, Aikman said, "Quite honestly, I don't know if there ever would be an opportunity." Separately, CBS named JJ Watt to fill Tony Romo's role, Watt agreed to a multi-year deal with ESPN, and Amazon extended Kirk Herbstreit for three years.
