troy aikman lands top analyst spot on fox. : while countless booth personalities languished behind madden/summerall for decades at cbs and fox, troy only had to wait a year.
sorry fellow cowboy fans, but it looks like summerall really is going to announce most of the cowboys games. sigh.
I like Aikman's style in the booth. He does a lot of homework and doesn't follow the normal happy-talk tradition of the athlete-turned-sportscaster -- he'll criticize players just as readily as he compliments them. Too bad about Summerall doing the Cowboys games, though. But at least it will be nice to hear the names of the legendary Cowboys of the past from time to time when Summerall becomes confused about what year it is.
