While ESPN scored a massive win by landing Troy Aikman, the most intriguing development is that FOX is left without a No. 1 analyst to work alongside Joe Buck, writes JimmyTraina
Buck and Aikman worked together for 20 years and developed a genuine friendship off the air. Many regarded them as the top crew in the game. Now Buck is left without a partner and the pickings for a replacement seem to be slim.
Greg Olsen is currently FOX’s No. 2 analyst, but doesn’t seem quite ready to ascend to the top spot since he's only been on the job for one season. Former Saints coach Sean Payton has reportedly been on FOX’s radar, but it’s unlikely he’d be put on the No. 1 team. Would FOX move its lead college football analyst, Joel Klatt, over to the NFL? Doubtful.
What complicates matters even more for FOX is that they have the Super Bowl in 2023 and again in 2025. Whoever takes over for Aikman won’t get a grace period. While it’s highly risky, if I’m FOX, I do anything and everything I can to get newly retired Tom Brady into broadcasting. Sure, Brady has never called a game in his career, but he is the greatest quarterback of all time. In addition, he has shown since leaving New England thatFOX needs to go big in order to replace Aikman. There’s no one bigger than Tom Brady.
