Joe Buck and Troy Aikman had an argument before Monday night's Rams-Bills game over tension surrounding their ESPN contract situations, per @sportsrapport. Buck recently agreed to a new 6-year deal worth approximately $108M, while Aikman has yet to receive an extension offer. Aikman's contract expires after this season, and his future at ESPN remains uncertain. The disagreement eventually de-escalated, and the two went on to call the game without viewers noticing anything unusual. More: frontofficesports.com/articl…

It’ll be a fucking shame when ESPN doesn’t extend Aikman and we get Jason Kelce and Pat McAfee in the booth next season with Joe Buck. Trash ass network.

Leave it to the worst network in sports to split these two up. Let me guess? Pat McAfee will be Joe Buck’s partner in 2027? 🙄

Amazed that broadcasters are getting multi million dollar contracts. I have never, and will never, tune into a sporting event because of whose doing play by play or color analysis. Seems like a colossal waste of money...

Bring Aikman back. They compliment each other… if they get rid of Troy, it’s gonna be some Pat Mcafee slop

The only explanation that makes sense is that Joe Buck has a lot of money and he paid ESPN $108 million to let him ruin MNF? Wait - *they're* paying *him*? What?

Max-tier bag for Joe Buck while Troy Aikman’s player profile is stuck in restricted free agency with zero extension offers loading. 💀

The fact that they had an argument and still delivered a smooth broadcast shows how professional they really are. 👏

Why the hell would Aikman be pissed at Buck? Unless Buck dangled a stack in front of his face… God I hope Buck dangled a stack in Aikmans face..

Explain to me like I’m five years old the appeal of Joe Buck in the broadcast booth, because I don’t understand it. Maybe it’s just me, but there’s nothing about his style that I enjoy.

Aikman rocks because he is allergic to white lies and will be more critical than most of the analysts.

My question is why do people keep giving Joe Buck money to talk? He’s unquestionably one of the worst announcers to ever put on a headset. The only thing that ever made him look good was putting the pudding-headed Tim McCarver next to him.

@espn clowns doing ESPN clown things. @TroyAikman has been amazing and I can't comprehend why they would even consider splitting from him. Aikman and Buck are great together.

Literally no one wants Aikman back. Buck is bad but Aikman is the absolute worst

Aikman is probably the most intimidating celebrity I’ve ever met. He’s all of 6’6” and jacked. I met him in 2009. I wouldn’t say he’s a dick just intense and to the point. Don’t waste his time. I’ve always thought he’s been great on tv as an analyst. Fair, smart and honest.
