Troy Aikman and Joe Buck notably avoided mentioning Taylor Swift during this week's MNF broadcast (VIDEO).
Taylor Swift's rumored relationship with Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce has generated significant buzz in the NFL community. However, during the recent ESPN broadcast of the Seattle Seahawks vs. New York Giants game, commentators Troy Aikman and Joe Buck conspicuously avoided mentioning her.
With both New York teams, the Giants and Jets, having a challenging start to the season with 1-3 records, the focus was on the Seahawks' dominant 24-3 victory at MetLife Stadium. While Swift, 33, had been at the stadium earlier to watch Kelce play against the Jets � a presence that contributed to NBC's soaring ratings � she faced mixed reactions from the crowd. There was notable disapproval when a commercial featuring Swift aired on the stadium's jumbotron.
During the fourth quarter, Aikman and Buck shared a humorous moment alluding to the Swift buzz without explicitly mentioning her:
Joe Buck: «You know what this game needs...»
Troy Aikman laughs.
Buck: «We made it to 5:26 to play without saying»
Troy Aikman laughs again.
Buck: «You going to say it?»
Troy: «I don't think I need to.»
