ESPN made it official Monday when it introduced Troy Aikman and Joe Buck as their new Monday Night Football announcing team in a conference call with reporters.
Aikman and Buck spent over 20 years at Fox Sports as the No. 1 team on NFL Sundays. But everything changed quickly once the 2021 NFL season ended. With both men in the final year of their contracts, Aikman, the Cowboys Hall of Fame and three-time Super Bowl winning quarterback, left first. Buck, the play-by-play man, departed almost a month later.
“Yeah I think there were two determined sides to try to make the resolution happen fast once that took place,” Buck said on the process when Aikman departed. “It literally dropped out of the sky and the more I get around it, Troy and I were just blown away.”
