Fair question, and I said Aikman, not Buck. I've never gotten a Hawk Hater vibe from Buck.
It has seemed to me that Troy Aikman has a negative attitude towards the Seahawks when calling our games.
In fact, what's probably happening is Troy slipping into Cowboys fan mode and letting some of his butthurtness show over the Big-Play Babs FG playoff loss, the Sean Lee wipeout by Golden Tate, and just the general way the 'Hawks have beaten the Cowboys like a drum the last few meetings since 2012.
Admittedly, not a scientific survey on my part, and based on a limited sample size.
I don't see or hear much of Troy Aikman except when he calls our games.
Could be that he knows the Cowboys well but not so much the Seahawks.
I don't recall if it was Aikman who called him, "Rashaad Perry" .
Then of course there is the "assigned narrative" aspect of which announcer gets assigned which "role" to play.
Sort of like considering Skip Bayless as a Seahawks hater... I've never seen him that way. He's just a guy who will say anything, take any position, argue any side, to generate controversy, drama, and attention.
It could be that Aikman is simply the announcer I find the most annoying, ill-informed about our team, and with the highest number of meaningless cliches-per-minute when calling Seahawks games.
