Troy Aikman: Fox didn't try to stop me from leaving for ESPN
-
"It is a strange set of circumstances that led me to where I am now and not be back at Fox," says the former longtime NFL on Fox broadcaster, who's joining the Monday Night Football booth, in an interview with Sportsradio 96.7 and 1310 The Ticket in Dallas. He added that "Fox never jumped into the game. They never made an offer. I didn’t have any conversations with Fox, until I got a call to congratulate me on my new deal. So that was a decision they made and it’s fine.”
