Annoyed NFL Fans Are Making The Same Complaint About Troy Aikman During Panthers-Niners “Monday Night Football”
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

Unhappy football fans had the same complaint about Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman during the San Francisco 49ers’ home game against the Carolina Panthers on ‘Monday Night Football.’
Now in his fourth season at ESPN with longtime broadcast partner Joe Buck, Troy Aikman is one of the most polarizing NFL media personalities. In the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 5 road game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, angry fans accused Aikman of having a hate-on for Patrick Mahomes’ squad.
A few weeks later, Aikman seemed to endorse the conspiracy theory that the Chiefs get extra help from the referees. The bottom line? Never a dull moment with the three-time Super Bowl champion.
During the 49ers-Panthers game, frustrated fans thought Aikman was making excuses for San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy, who threw three interceptions alone in the first half.
“It’s crazy he still won’t admit to ridiculing Caleb in that Washington game
But he’s watching Purdy toss out beach balls and it’s just “weird” to him lmao,” one fan wrote.
Troy Aikman is a hilarious human being
It’s crazy he still won’t admit to ridiculing Caleb in that Washington game
But he’s watching Purdy toss out beach balls and it’s just “weird” to him lmao

“If JJ McCarthy threw three picks in the first half Troy Aikman would personally walk down onto the field and stab him,” said PFT Commenter.

“Aikman making all kinds of excuses for Purdy interceptions. Sometimes it’s okay to just say it was a bad throw,” a fan said.

After the 2025 season, Aikman will have one year left on the reported five-year deal worth $90 million contract he signed with ESPN, per the New York Post.
