I think he played sportsball somewhere, sometime.

I’ve always thought flyovers were stupid. 10 seconds of pointlessness.

We had an absolutely HOF NBA announcer for the Sonics named Kevin Calaboro.

When Payton and Kemp would run the stuffing out of the opposition and Kemp would just thunder-dunk Calaboro would call out ‘Frying chickens in the barnyard!’

The afterburner thing made me think of that and laugh. Miss the Sonics here in Seattle. They really were a great team at the time - back when I was watching the NBA before the 2000-2001 strike.

Did he apologize for his ignorance?

Aikman and Buck both owe their viewers a more full explanation of exactly what they meant by their comments.
If they are not critical of flyovers, they need to expressly state that they want them. If they are not supportive of a Kamala-Harris ticket that would eliminate flyovers, they need to clearly state that. If they are opposed to wasteful government spending in other areas that have nothing to do with flyovers, they need to state that.

Drew and Mike on WRIF in Detroit had a spoof on 'Troy' cologne some years ago Troy Cologne. Way worth the 2:32 listening time!

The Phoenix Suns announcer Al McCoy used to say “Sha-Zam!” every time a Sun hit a 3.

And lets face it... flyovers are just a recruiting tool. I’m really not a fan of rolling out the military at every sporting event as a prop (and yes, i’m ex-military). Most vets I know just roll their eyes at all the theater.

It's not for the vets, it's for the youngsters who don't get to see awesome examples of American freedom, determination, and ingenuity. It's needed more and more since flight pattern restrictions make seeing a military jet a rarity for most civilians.

Now, endorsing the NFL with a flyover needs to stop. If you're not going to fly low enough and fast enough to have a shock wave shatter the windows of the broadcasting booth where the anti-Americans are preaching their Communist propaganda and the owner's box who supports them, you're doing it wrong.

You must be hanging around those vets that were stationed in Canada. I have never been with a vet who had your disparaging attitude towards active military.

“Yes, its a waste of money. The military does not exist for our entertainment.”

But you certainly exist for my entertainment.

I am a US Army veteran, I say it IS a waste of money. Sure, it is flight hours, but how about making the training more like combat and real operations flight hours.
All you butt-hurt keyboard warriors need to grow up! There is NORTHING wrong with saying what they said. And I don’t even like either of them.

I may have missed it since I slept through the Biden/Obama years to avoid the daily horror show, but did either of these two mensa members complain about flyovers during the Biden/Obama reign?

I have no clue why the President continues to let the Defense Dept support the NFL.

“ I’ve seen that top picture before - what are the names of those two brothers?? “

What makes you think they’re brothers?

Troy is the clearest example of the meaning of the term “dipsh_t”...

Hey ground pounder. What do you think about the Golden Knights doing target drops at stadiums?...
