NFL unfazed by Joe Buck, Troy Aikman ‘argument’ before Bills-Rams game on MNF amid ‘tension’
The NFL weighed in on the argument between longtime on-air partners Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.
In the midst of a report suggesting that Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, regular co-commentators for Monday Night Football, engaged in an argument prior to a game between the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills, the NFL has remained unfazed by the reported discord. The incident occurred after Buck received a new contract from ESPN, while Aikman remains in the final year of his deal.
ESPN's ESPN/ABC commentators, Buck and Aikman, were not concerned about the reported tension, with Executive Vice President and Chief Media Officer Hans Schroeder stating that the NFL had "no concern" about the matter. He further praised the game and the coverage provided by the duo. Aikman, who is nearing the end of his contract with ESPN, mentioned that he is not sure if the argument was appropriate at the time, but stressed that he doesn't know the full story.
The NFL remains excited about the upcoming Super Bowl, which will be covered by ESPN's broadcast team.
