New Report Suggests 'MNF' Conflict Between Troy Aikman, Joe Buck
A new report suggests Joe Buck and Troy Aikman got into an argument before "Monday Night Football" earlier this week.
Troy Aikman and Joe Buck, the longest-tenured broadcasting duo in NFL history, faced an argument prior to their Monday Night Football broadcast earlier this week. The incident occurred while they were set to commentate on the game between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams.
Sources indicate that Buck had recently signed a new six-year contract extension with ESPN, a deal that reportedly strained his relationship with Aikman. Aikman, on the other hand, has yet to receive a formal extension offer. According to Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports, Buck reportedly broke the ice before the broadcast to address the unspoken tension.
Despite the reported disagreement, Buck and Aikman managed to settle their dispute during the broadcast. They will once again take the booth for the upcoming Week 6 Monday Night Football matchup between the Washington Commanders and San Francisco 49ers.
