A crisis management expert has urged former NFL quarterback and broadcaster Troy Aikman to handle the ongoing controversy involving ESPN and fellow broadcaster Joe Buck by taking "the highest road possible" and conducting himself as a "gentleman." The advice comes amid reported tensions between the network and its on-air talent, though specific details of the dispute were not disclosed.
The recommendation was highlighted in a report by Colin Witte for Pro Football Network on November 5, 2026. The expert emphasized that Aikman's reputation and long-standing professionalism would be best served by a measured, dignified response to the situation.
