It was the latest in a string of questionable calls by refs out to protect signal callers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope that the competition committee looks at this during the set of meetings and we take the dresses off,\u201d\u00a0said Aikman, 55, who was sacked 259 times in his career, and was known for his toughness.\u00a0The penalty was critical, because Carr fumbled on the play. But Jones, who recovered the ball, fell on top of Carr and the refs blew the whistle. Although Kansas City still came from behind to win a thrilling 30-29 game, the play could easily have cost the Chiefs the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Aikman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/cowboys\/2022\/10\/13\/troy-aikman-addresses-take-the-dresses-off-comment-made-during-mnf-broadcast\/\">responded<\/a> Thursday morning during an interview with Sportsradio 96.7 FM\/1310 The Ticket [KTCK-AM] to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cancel-mob-seeks-to-sack-nfl-announcer-aikman-over-misogynistic-remark\">online backlash<\/a> that ensued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I mean, my comments were dumb. Just shouldn\u2019t have made them, just dumb remarks on my part,\u201d Aikman said.\u00a0\u201cBut the other part of \u2026 what came from that, what I said was that it implied that I\u2019m not in favor of protecting the quarterbacks, which could not be further from the truth. I\u2019m totally in favor of the protection that the quarterbacks are afforded, and all players for that matter. But there\u2019s no question there has been over-enforcement of the protection for quarterbacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the interview, Aikman praised NFL officials for how they officiate the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the officials by and large do a terrific job,\u201d Aikman said. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to me, in real time, how accurate most of the time they are \u2026 It\u2019s a thankless job that they\u2019re in, and I don\u2019t fault the officials so much. I do think we\u2019re, as I said, I think we\u2019re over-officiating it. But these are the rules. I mean, as the rule reads and if you watch that in real time, it would be hard to look at that play with Chris Jones in our game and not feel like he landed on the quarterback with his body weight, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would imagine that there\u2019s been enough outcry about it that I would think that the powers that be will take a hard look at it this offseason, and see if maybe they can correct it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><em>Greg Wilson contributed to this report.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cancel-mob-seeks-to-sack-nfl-announcer-aikman-over-misogynistic-remark\">Cancel Mob Seeks To Sack NFL Announcer Aikman Over \u2018Misogynistic\u2019 Remark<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hall of Fame quarterback-turned NFL announcer Troy Aikman\u00a0responded to attempts to cancel him by an online outrage mob over a remark he made during Monday Night Football by saying that his remarks were \u201cdumb.\u201d Aikman, who helped the Dallas Cowboys to three Super Bowl champions during his legendary career, took offense at a roughing the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1890305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"NFL Announcer Troy Aikman Responds To Outrage Mob Trying To Cancel Him Over \u2018Misogynistic\u2019 Remark","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1688910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"NFL Announcer Troy Aikman Responds To Outrage Mob Trying To Cancel Him Over \u2018Misogynistic\u2019 Remark","fifu_finder_url":"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nfl-announcer-troy-aikman-responds-to-outrage-mob-trying-to-cancel-him-over-misogynistic-remark","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1688910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1688910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1688910\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1890305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1688910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1688910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1688910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
