ESPN’s Troy Aikman said something that had fans scratching their heads while watching ‘Monday Night Football.’
Aikman and his partner Joe Buck were in the booth for this Monday’s Week 4 fixture between the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions and let something bizarre slip while providing color commentary on a certain play.
The former NFL quarterback was heard saying, “If you’re going to face this Detroit defense, you’re going to need some man beaters” after Geno Smith found Jaxon Smith-Njigba with a pass late in the fourth quarter.
