Love Troy. He didn't play in an era where defenses couldn't even touch the QB. He took a lot of punishment, especially in the early part of his career. He was a tough blood and guts QB. There is nobody in todays NFL like him, and with all the new fairy rules favoring the offense I imagine there never will be again.

[@gigapus5050]

Yea wasn't the eagles that almost killed him in one game in yr one or two?

[@devildog65]

Even later in his career, he took some serious hits. It’s why he (and Roger) had so many concussions. Great, great athlete and competitor. #DC4L

[@jasonsimpson4805]

Great to see Troy on the show!

[@Shane661]

It's almost surreal, listening to Aikman talk about Brady. Aikman is a legend in his own right...but we lose sight of that.

[@Don-zs7pt]

Troy is an awesome guy great to hear the stories of teammates and other players from around the league

[@howeirrd]

Wild stories and y'all just keep getting better at interviewing. Fuckin bravo 👏

[@blakemoore666]

Troys an excellent interview! So we’ll spoken!

[@dansnyder9102]

Troy is a class act!

[@jebadiahfyefye8994]

I knew Troy would say Reggie. He always have so much respect to him and that gang green defense. Respect to Troy. His cowboys owned the east but he still recognizes Those great birds defenses.

Class act Troy

[@Mr.E419]

The Cowboys do blow but you Troy, sir you do not! I wish Andy would have convinced you, Troy Aikman as an Eagle would have been epic🤗

[@funtyes1970]

lol yeah sure it would i cant manage what cowboys fans be saying . if troy went to eagles it would tarnish his NFL career it would been funny

[@KevinJL]

Good stuff

[@philgoodyear1513]

Thank you Troy. South California man w/ midwest values. He played QB at an almost impossible level (cowboys are full of themselves). He should be cloned and distributed to every sport.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Brady might’ve felt like he had more championships in him & he can see the game changing. Aikman was so accurate in his day. He’s from the days when QBs traded getting hit hard for completions.

[@sil3ntdogood]

10 Super Bowls... 10!!!

[@devildog65]

Troy’s always honest about QB play, which sometimes is funny to me because I saw him do the same thing when he was a kid in ‘89 and ‘90. The only criticism I have is he seems more critical of Dallas than other teams and I think he does it because he doesn’t want to come off as a homer for his favorite team. #DC4L

[@chadbinette3201]

That's part of it but I believe Troy also feels that cowboys team could of win more if Jerry Jones didn't push out Jimmy Johnson and I believe Troy is more loyal to Jimmy then he is to the cowboys.

[@devildog65]

@@chadbinette3201 That’s absolutely true. But ALL the players will be more loyal to their coach, usually. And Jimmy’s was a great HC.

GO COWBOYS!

[@Mr.E419]

I love weed too!!! Not the Cowboys though...👎🏻put some thought into turning in the old dilapidated star for a bird of prey, a majestic creature that signifies the essence of America, that Gang that's green and runs the East!!! The Philadelphia Eagles are giving out invitations to roll with the Good Guys! Light one up and put some thought into it brother 🦅🦅🦅😎😉

[@chadbinette3201]

Never forget troy calling the 28-3 Superbowl, "don't ever count tom Brady out" Joe buck then said "Brady has his fifth......" Always liked troy as a player and announcer because he calls it how it is, too many commentators are too scared to call out a bad ref or a bad situation or whatever, troy always calls it how it is. Argue with it or not gotta respect someone in that position who has his own opinions and isn't scared to call it. Esp when troy has probably made more money in the booth then on the field.

[@DMDvideo10]

If Tom does do the commentator thing next year he'll be prepared and will kill it. Anyone who thinks different just hasn't learned... Mike Felger...

Broadcasting is a easy over paid job if you have passion for the game.

[@gigapus5050]

Wish they would pair him and Greg Olsen together two retired players that actually know the game can't stand Joe buck.

[@funtyes1970]

i dont get way so many ex coaches and players pick eagles for . i knew eagles defense was overrated . this is teams qb's eagles defense played against, lions,vikings,Washington twice,jags,cards,cowboys twice,steelers,texans,colts,packers,titans,giants twice,bears,saints, probably best QB eagles defense played against in 2022 regular season was Dak and Kurt Cousins , i would say Arron Rogers but he really didn't have good season. i wonder why eagles defense look so good in 2022 season , eagles didn't played against no top 7 QB all season. shit before Superbowl game this is playoff teams qbs giants QB and 49ers 3rd string but Brock Purdy got hurt like 2nd or 3rd play of game and here comes 49ers 4th string QB. so we all find out eagles defense wasn't really that good when eagles defense face a top 2 or best QB in nfl Mahomes , eagles defense couldn't sack Mahomes not once all game

[@tonialisonhouck6717]

Troy could come back now and be better than DAK ever or Romo Homo ... Dallas has sucked since i was in high school!!

[@eddieq3686]

$200 $25 lmao

[@DoubleD72]

Troy picking Eagles because of a Twitter fight he got in a few years back. With some Mahomes fans. Troy got pissy and kinda made an ass of himself. Plus he is just an NFC guy. It's weird they still exist.

[@KevinJL]

Don't take it so seriously.
