Future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning could soon be joining Hall of Fame counterpart Troy Aikman in the Fox broadcast booth.
By now it's well known that Fox is willing to pay Manning $10 million per year to make the shift to calling games. If that's the case, Aikman wants to be paid in kind.
"That means I'm worth a little more 'cause I'm doing more games than he is," Aikman told TMZ Sports.He did also indicate that it would "be awesome" if Manning did end up with Fox.
Though, it's not a surprise Aikman would attempt to use Manning's potential contract as a way to up his deal with Fox. It's smart business. Whether that happens remains to be seen.
Based solely on popularity, Manning would be right there with former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo as the king of NFL broadcasting. Romo comes in No. 1 all-time in the SNIPdaily Legends Top 100.
Manning find himself fourth overall, behind Romo, Kobe Bryant and Floyd Mayweather. Meanwhile, Aikman doesn't register in that category.
That's Manning's biggest calling card here — popularity.
