Boozing on the job. We’ve all thought about doing it at one time or another, right? Well, it looks like Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are about that action.
Buck recently joined Colin Cowherd on The Colin Cowherd Podcast and admitted that he and Aikman occasionally enjoyed a cocktail or two in the booth. Apparently, it helped the two color commentators stay relaxed.
“I feel like it’s a good mental trigger to just chill.”

“I’ll say this. We have had that glass of bourbon in the booth. Although it’s not bourbon, it’s tequila, splash of Grand Marnier and grapefruit juice,” Buck said to Cowherd, via an article from MSN. “I went through a couple years where in the first inning of every postseason baseball game, I had the runner go get the biggest beer the stadium sold. And I had it sitting there, and I would sip it from time-to-time to remind myself to relax and have fun. I’m just doing a game.”
There’s been a time or two that Aikman may have come across as a little sauced (the bloodshot eyes stick out), but it’s kind of nice to see Buck admit to the secret behind the calm, relaxing vibe.
If I do that … I’m getting canned for sure. But it’s Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. We are not the same.

Glad he finally admits what we all kind of suspected (especially with Aikman).
Hand jobs too
I don’t drink but I would have to get lit to tolerate 4 hours with Aikman. He rarely says anything interesting or intelligent.
Ya. He talks a lot and says nothing.
That explains why Aikman is so bad at his job and looks like shit most of the time. He’s an alcoholic
Buck droppin dimes. I love it. I wonder if he was sauced when he was praising BLM this past year. He’s a corporate bitch.
Troy’s wife: Hi Joe, is Troy there? He said he was stopping by to hang out with u tonight. I just wanted to talk to him real quick.
Buck: I haven’t talked to Troy since the NFC Championship game. He’s probably with his side piece. I think the last time he hooked up with her, he told you he was coming to see me. Do you want the name of the hotel he stays at with her? I also have her name and number if you want it.
Troy can’t even wait till after the game to put a cock in his mouth. Lone ‘W’ in the QB-takes column for Skip B.
Wonder what Al Michaels drinks to tolerate the 3 hours of idiocy that falls from Collinsworth’s mouth once a week.
Those two are the most stiff commentators on TV…and they even drink to “loosen up” and enjoy the game? Holy crap. What the hell are they like sober?
