Troy Aikman Calls Joe Buck’s Handling Of Hamlin Incident ‘His Finest Moment’

Joe Buck has actually been calling video games for years, however his cubicle partner Troy Aikman thinks his handling of Damar Hamlin‘s medical emergency situation was the “finest moment” of his profession … stating the broadcasting legend handled the scenario much better than anybody else might have.

Buck and Aikman were calling the Bengals and Bills’ “Monday Night Football” match when Hamlin collapsed on the field … and the Hall of Fame quarterback states the whole team — consisting of Disney head Bob Iger — were working continuously to find out how to continue the broadcast as medical professionals tended to the Bills security.

“There was a lot of moving parts, that’s for sure, as you can imagine,” Aikman stated on ‘Dunham and Miller’ on the Ticket in Dallas-Fort Worth. “It became a sports broadcast that turned into a news broadcast.”

Aikman raves about how Buck preserved his grace … stating in spite of the uphill struggle, he prospered in the minute.

“As you guys know, I’ve worked with him for 21 years and I’ve been with him in some of the greatest moments in sports,” Aikman stated.

“And I’ve seen him at his best and he’s unbelievable, but I think this was his finest moment. I think he handled everything better than anyone could have — any broadcaster. I don’t care if it was sports, or news or whatever it might be.”

Aikman included … “I thought he was really good at what he was doing and broadcasting to America what was taking place and doing it in a way that he wasn’t speculating or sensationalizing in any way. Not an easy thing to do.”

“He and I were on the air for over an hour before we ever really did anything with it. So, there was a lot of time that had to be filled with a story that we were not getting any information on.”
