Troy Aikman and Joe Buck are the new sportcasters for ESPN’s Monday Night Football, both commentators are recognized in the media as two of the most famous voices of the 21st century. But before working for ESPN, the pair were part of FOX and the ‘ trade’ between the two networks generated much controversy days after the end of the 2021-22 NFL season.

Aikman was a Super Bowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys when he was the quarterback for nearly 12 seasons with the franchise. He won three Super Bowl rings (XXVII, XXVIII, XXX) and multiple awards during his pro football career.

Joe Buck didn’t play pro football, but he knows the sport and he is as tough as a football player for his harsh criticism of NFL teams and players. Working for Fox Sports since 1994, aside from football, Buck has also been a commentator for the MLB and USGA.
