It seems that some Packers fans have initiated a petition to get Buck and Aikman banned from broadcasting Green Bay Packers football games.
Have any "PACKERSHOME" people signed it.
I googled it but I haven't signed it .......YET.

Heck the Seahawks fans had a petition for anything and everything for a while and they dominant in getting people to sign... they wore it as a badge of Fandom honor. .. I don't remember them all, but I remember some were pretty stupid. Basically trying to ban everyone who didn't bow to the Seahawks fans or whom ever had predicted a Seahawks loss, and I think including petition to ban certain NFL players from entering the city limits.

I wouldn't sign it but I do believe Aikman shouldn't be doing Cowboys games, especially playoff games.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I don't care one way or the other. I can tune them out or tune it down.

I usually end up muting the commentators because I get too nervous watching the games. They are always throwing out stats like "the Packers haven't won a game in which they didn't lead in the 1st quarter this year." I get sick of hearing endless "stats" like that. That said, I think Buck and Aikman are the best commentary team. At least they know how to sound excited. Jim Nantz called last year's SB like he was calling the Masters and Phil Simms isn't much better.

Flipping this around a little. I like Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth the most.

And if any team threw in a damn or hell once in awhile, they'd be my favorite. That was a damn good catch! Or what the hell was going through his mind catching that kickoff on the side line and going out at the three???

Buck Aikman. Sounds like a Country Western version of American Idol.

I think it's one of the stupidest things to do, first of all petition all you want that will never changes fox executives mind and secondly aikman does a great job and loves the packers esp. Rodgers , I have heard him a million times over the years on Wfan radio in New York complementing the pack. Packer fans asking for them out of the booth sound like whiners and homers !!

You are spoiled guys.
I live in Argentina, we get the spanish commentators here, they are.... hard to describe.

They barely know the rules, they confuse the players, they have called a player several times in a game to later realize he is not even active. 3rd and short is always a first down, they get the penalties wrong, they say "we'll see what is going on" because they are clueless.

And the spanish ESPN commentators are better than the ones on Fox, Fox in spanish is really impossible to digest, they are old guys that have no clue about the game and they forget everything regardless of when the thing happened. We make bets about when they are going to die but they will probably piss in our tombs.

So yes Aikman is a Cowboy, but at least he knows the game.

No real complaints about the announcers in this game which is a first. I mean, a few stupid statements but those are a dime a dozen.

I gotta add more to this because as a Packers fan being associated with this petition, it really irks me. We are not this petty, we are NOT like this. Look, if you dislike the Buck Aikman duo because Aikman is a former Cowboys player, seriously, I get it! I am with you! But, to lie, to blatantly lie and say that Aikman bashes the Packers, or favors Packers opponent is just garbage! We are better than this, we ARE BETTER THAN THIS!

You know what Cowboys fans in Dallas are saying on radio stations? They are BITCHING about Aikman talking TOO MUCH about how great Aaron Rodgers is.

Again, you wanna hate on the duo because one is a former Cowboys player, I'm with you. If you are going to try and say there is some bias against the Packers, you are wrong and you are embarrassing the Packers fan base.

/ piss rant over lol sorry

Okay, I'm done beating the dead horse here, but just wanted to point out that those who don't want the Buck Aikman duo calling any more Packers games. Think about this.

Super Bowl LI Announcers
Joe Buck (play-by-play)
Troy Aikman (analyst)
Erin Andrews (sideline reporter)
Chris Myers (sideline reporter)

Jus. Sayin!!!!!
