I'm guess your dislike is more against the player Aikmen then the announcer Aikmen. I felt the same way at first then I realized he is fair when annoucing our games.

I agree. Aikman is pretty good. Moose is terrible. Baldinger has his moments. Billick makes me want to kill him. All these color guys come from teams. In the booth you have to forget it.

Honest Question: Are you actually serious about this, or just trolling?

And who are your favorite announcers who have called Redskins games

WOW, now I'm a troll? The several years I've been here talking football with you guys and because I say something about the announcers and you guys don't like.... I'm a troll.

I can't wait to see the next person who says something that does not go with the social norm here just to see if they get called a troll.

I prefer non-homers honestly. I cringe when I hear rampant homerism in the booth. Someone like Sonny is OK since he doesn't just BS how everything is great. Sam is terrible for that is noted above. Doc I think is not so great...to homerish for me.

But Sam...well he has to go. It's bordering on cruel to both him and fans to keep him on board. I know Sonny is tight with Snyder so maybe that affects it all.

When the two were young (Sam and Sonny) I liked them cause yes Sam was the homer and Sonny gave it to you straight. They balanced out.

Now how do you like the guy Larry Michael on Redskins Nation? His homerism drives me nuts.

Trolling about this particular topic. Like are you just trying to mess with us...because honestly, you must realize your argument is filled with holes

Your views as you have presented them are...extreme.

I know the Skins have no control, but FOX themselves should take these things into consideration.

I can't imagine the logistical nightmare of trying to match up national broadcast teams so god forbid nobody is doing a game of a former rival.

Let's take a quick look at this. So basically Aikman shouldn't do any NFC East games. Daryl Johnston no NFC East either. How about Brian Billick? No NFC North games, and no AFC North games. Cris Collinsworth no AFC North for him.

Can you see how ridiculous this would be?

Yes, and as I stated before it's not that I think he can't announce or that I think he doesn't have a clue (because I think he's smart and announces well) it has everything to do with loyalty to me. Why on earth should we have a Dallas Cowboy announcing Redskins games? There's 32 teams, obviously they are playing each other 16 vs. 16, and some are on bye weeks. How hard is it for FOX to get 1 announcer from each to announce their own games?

I'd even tolerate it more if Aikmen was in the booth with a local announcer or ex player for the Skins. Imagine the talk that they would have if they put Arrington in the booth with him. lol.

Somewhere the media has gone afoul with thier idea that they should just put together announcing teams and have them rated and the biggest game gets the biggest rated announcers. I'd prefer local media announcers and perhaps an ex player to give insight to some of the dynamics as well as perhaps some inside info they get from being out at Redskins Park vs. an announcer who used to play for our RIVAL team.

They should have just gotten an ex Sandiego Charger to announce our games. Atleast then I would not have any ill will toward them. I don't want to see anyone from our division announcing our games but Dallas? An ex Dallas player?
