1. I'm so sorry, Troy. I had no choice. I had to do this.
Fox Sports' outstanding lead NFL analyst, Troy Aikman, was nice enough to come on this week's SI Media Podcast.
For most of the podcast, we talked about a variety of NFL topics, with Aikman offering excellent insight on why Tom Brady and Drew Brees have been able to have so much success for so long. (Aikman and Joe Buck will call Sunday's Bucs-Saints divisional playoff game.)
He also explained why he thinks individual franchises, even more than the NFL at large, deserve credit for completing the season during a pandemic, expanded on his comments from last week about Aaron Donald's being the best defensive player he's ever seen and shared his thoughts on how he would've handled broadcasting the controversial Washington-Philadelphia season finale.
