Joe Buck and Troy Aikman got caught on the hot mic talking crap about military flyovers. Or so we thought. Now we’re learning some more details, and possibly why we heard them speaking about the flyovers.

Even Joe Buck and Troy Aikman find pregame flyovers to be a little much these days: https://t.co/0IZL6GhmZy pic.twitter.com/G4EpB3SYtN

Aikman addressed the controversy.

I love a flyover but It was odd to see one over a mostly empty stadium but I am an unwavering patriot that loves this country, has always respected our flag, supported the men and women in the armed forces as well as those in uniform who serve & protect and for anyone to suggest

Now SI is revealing more info on the gaffe:

“Two, and most important, they were not caught on a hot mic. This did not take place during a break in the Packers-Bucs game.

This was done before the game, during a rehearsal. That means someone who works at FOX, either in a truck or a broadcast studio, pulled the clip on purpose and then leaked it on purpose to make Buck and Aikman look bad. And the fact that one of their co-workers would leak this clip to make the broadcast duo look bad really sucks.

You can be sure Fox is doing some sort of internal investigation to find the culprit.”

Buck will address this situation on his podcast, Daddy Issues, today. It should be interesting to hear what he has to say. Seems like someone is out to get Buck and Aikman. Gotta love it!
