Troy Aikman called it like he saw it — and what he saw wasn’t pretty.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer and color analyst aired his grievances over incessant penalty calls during ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” broadcast of the Denver Broncos’ 28-3 blowout victory over the depleted Cincinnati Bengals at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver.
The Bengals kicked off the scoring with a field goal in their opening drive, but things got ugly when the Broncos jumped out to a 21-3 halftime lead.
"I'm not gonna keep my mouth shut. That's a good call. Just not a necessary call."
"Nothing brings a broadcast to a screeching halt more than these yellow flags."
"The product's just not very good. I'm gonna be honest…I mean, this is ridiculous."
