It’s Monday Night Football on ESPN, and therefore it’s time for Troy Aikman and Joe Buck to pretend they like each other.

It’s no secret anymore that the two reportedly have issues. The feud began after ESPN gave Buck a new contract, while Aikman appears to be the odd man out. Buck and Aikman are still chugging along to finish out the season despite not being on the same page anymore.

Even during tonight’s game, it appears that Aikman can’t hold his disdain for his former best friend.

During the Monday Night Football broadcast, Troy Aikman made a subtle jab directed at his broadcast partner Joe Buck. Additionally, it came while commenting on wide receiver Justin Jefferson’s flashy, diamond game-day jewelry.

While discussing Jefferson’s multimillion-dollar chains, Aikman said that he couldn’t imagine wearing something like that himself. Additionally, he added, “I may try… if somebody will loan me some money.

Earlier this year, reports surfaced that Joe Buck quietly signed a six-year, $108 million contract extension with ESPN. Troy Aikman’s five-year deal expires at the end of the season. Not only that, he was left entirely in the dark about Buck’s deal by both ESPN and their shared agency.

The contract situation sparked a major rift, including a reported off-air shouting match at SoFi Stadium in October. Everything has been bad ever since.
