FOX confirms Joe Buck, Troy Aikman will call Thursday Night Football

NFL fans will get a double dose of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman this season.

FOX confirmed today that Buck and Aikman, who were already the top Sunday afternoon duo for the network, will also call the new Thursday night package.

That will be a lot of work for the two, who may get some Sundays off. Buck will likely need some NFL games off in the fall when he calls the baseball playoffs for FOX. It is not known yet who will team with Aikman while Buck is focusing on baseball.

In the past the NFL required its Thursday night partners, CBS and NBC, to use the top Sunday team on Thursdays. But this year the league made no such requirement, and FOX first tried to get Peyton Manning to call the games before deciding to go with Buck and Aikman when Manning said no. In the end, FOX decided to go the same route and give Thursday nights to its top Sunday team.

Could be worse.

But I don't care for Buck at all. I hope his hair plugs fall out.

Can’t stand Buck, but he’s better than Collinsworth.

I don't know anyone that likes Joe Buck. I like Aikman though so they're batting .500

I wish Joe had stuck to baseball.

Wonder when ESPN will announce their new MNF crew. Will Kurt get the call?

That's a really strong crew. Buck is solid as a play-by, and Aikman is superb IMO. He provides thoughtful analysis while blending in the background, one of my favorite in that role tbh.

I think Goff and most starters are going to play this Saturday...keep fingers crossed!

Edit: Just saw posting that Goff is out for whole preseason. Wow!
