Troy Aikman has worked for Fox Sports for 15 years and has been the network’s lead NFL analyst since 2002. His reputation among staffers—especially those on his NFL production crew—is excellent. He is also known among sports media writers as being a particularly honest interview, and that was the case last week when Sports Illustrated contacted him about his network’s hiring of Skip Bayless.
“To say I’m disappointed in the hiring of Skip Bayless would be an enormous understatement,” Aikman said. “Clearly, [Fox Sports president of national networks] Jamie Horowitz and I have a difference of opinion when it comes to building a successful organization. I believe success is achieved by acquiring and developing talented, respected and credible individuals, none of which applies to Skip Bayless."
Bold move by Troy.

You are killing me FS1. Fix Gus Johnson's microphone. He sounds like when they let a bridesmaid give a toast at a wedding and she eats the microphone.

Len Elmore is calling the Butler-Marquette game. Is he going to be a regular on FS1? Was always one of my favorites on ESPN.

Don't know if anyone here in Time Warner country noticed, but FS2, BTN Alternate and all of the Pac12 networks (national and regional) are now available on the HD tier. They were available only in standard def until the past weekend.

We've gone from a New Years Eve marathon (good idea) to an MLK Marathon (good idea).
Why not eight Saturday marahtons?? (FANTASTIC IDEA!!). Fox paid for this. They wanted showcases. Every Saturday should be a showcase Marathon. Have a "Game of the Week" that airs on the Fox flagship network, and run the other four games on FS1.
I really don't understand why they don't do this. If you look at the programming of Fox and FS1 throughout January and February, it's shitty. This would upgrade it. This would also showcase us. Showcasing us is a good thing for them since they purchased the rights to our product."You can't fix stupid." Ron White
