Dan Le Batard hammers Troy Aikman for broadcasting crutch on ‘Monday Night Football’
The Week 1 matchup on Monday Night Football saw two AFC West powerhouses clash in Kansas City, as the Chiefs began to re-establish their dominance over the division. It was a great opportunity for ESPN’s Joe Buck and Troy Aikman to get back into a groove as they prepare to call the network’s first Super Bowl.
While the game ultimately ended in a blowout, plenty of stories came out of it. Did the swift return of Patrick Mahomes and the offseason addition of Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker just upend Denver’s supremacy over the division?
It turns out that those narratives and the star power on the field Monday night loomed large in Aikman’s mind. On Tuesday, sports host Dan Le Batard hammered the well-respected ESPN NFL game analyst for leaning on the same sensationalized broadcasting crutch more than a dozen times in the first half alone.
Troy Aikman makes claim that would suggest the Chiefs are breaking NFL rules
Analyst immediately flagged Aikman’s claim that Kansas City practiced in pads for six straight days
Troy Aikman spent Monday night analyzing what the Kansas City Chiefs were doing on the field against Denver and one comment about what they supposedly did weeks earlier in training camp may now draw more attention.
During ESPN’s broadcast of Kansas City’s 31-10 Week 1 NFL victory over the Broncos, Aikman said the Chiefs had practiced in pads for six consecutive days during camp.
That immediately caught the attention of NFL analyst Marcus Mosher, who suggested Aikman may have inadvertently raised a compliance issue.

Troy Aikman and ESPN have been called out by American podcast host Dan Le Batard, who grew frustrated listening to the color commentator on Monday Night Football.
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos 31-10 to wrap up Week 1 of the new NFL season, with Joe Buck and Aikman in the ESPN booth for the first time this campaign. The broadcast got off to a shaky start, with Buck addressing technical issues.
The Chiefs blew out a solid Broncos team, and Aikman was complimentary of the talent on display throughout the game, to Le Batard's annoyance. It comes after ESPN viewers urged the network to immediately remove Pat McAfee just minutes into his Monday Night Countdown debut.
